Breather Filter

[kaltenacht]

Ok so I've been searching and reading through some past threads about breather filters. Heres what i want to do, take off the hose that connects to the top of the valve cover and runs to the air induction. then just replace it with a breather filter. Im not worried about improving performance, because I doubt it will do anything. But my question is will it mess up the PCV system, or screw with the blow by gases in any way?

I did that on my old 4 door LX-I and it worked great!

it won't screw with anything, but you're best off if you had a vacuum there, not atmospheric pressure, that's why the manufacturer builds them in the way they do.

didn't that hose run nice burnable gases from the block to the intake? why would you wanna remove it?

is it because you want a challenge when it comes to smog??

Look at the third post and diagram ........ Removing the line between your intake (positive air pressure) and your valve cover IS NOT A GOOD IDEA. Here's why:

Guess I was wrong. Just saying I did it and put over 20,000 miles on the car that way. I sold it but it's still runnin good.
