Glanza-Ben Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 ben are you not going to run the valve in the brake vacuum pipe going to servo ????Have not got one to use so no lol plus glanza never had one so can't be needed that much can it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
amatthews45 Posted November 23, 2014 Author Share Posted November 23, 2014 just had a thought since I decided to remove the carbon canister and it has a large breather. could I not attach that line to oil breather tank. the tank has two lines and filter on top. could use one line for rocker and one line for the fuel tank breather. could this be ok?

Glanza-Ben Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Not shore but it's not needed if it's the one I think it is then just loose it, and why are you taking inlet off with engine in take it out with engine then remove it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
amatthews45 Posted November 23, 2014 Author Share Posted November 23, 2014 was trying to get it off before my new engine gets here to paint it and get all the right blanks for holes. cars going mates unit once engine here. need to order all the gaskets and clutch as well. defo wrong time of year for this haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
amatthews45 Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 anyone know if I could hook up the petrol tank breather to the oil breather tank in the bay since I ditched the carbon canister Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza-Ben Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 just ditch the canister and leave it open or get a little filter for the canister pipe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 anyone know if I could hook up the petrol tank breather to the oil breather tank in the bay since I ditched the carbon canisterHmmm i duno mate, the idea of the carbon canisters is to draw excess vapour and then it gets drawn into the inlet and reburnt, hooking it up to a catch can sounds like its gonna be under pressure, and you dont want oil finding its way into your fuel tank either or even oil vapour.Id just leave that tbh.

These are bolted to the car with 10mm. Then you have your negative earth strap from the battery to the gearbox. And there is another on the OS engine mount.HKS do earthing kits, bolt to the negative terminal of the battery and then put the leads on various points in the bay. Can get em on ebay, well probably reps of HKS kits haha. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
amatthews45 Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 yeah seen the hks earth kit dont like the look of them. gonna make up some new earths. every time I get connectors they either fall off or just simply rubbish haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
