Breather Extension

(1/2) > >>

smo:
I've got some pipe, and connectors to extend my axle breathers, however i dont know where to extend them too or how to route them on the way!!

Its a 90 CSW TD5 :)

Budgie:
If you've got a snokel fitted then you can route them up that. if not then route them along the chassis to the highest point in the engine bay, keeping the pipes well away from any heat.  :wink:

smo:
Yup, fitted and sealed it all up a few weeks back, however how do i get the breathers out of the engine bay where i am led to believe they terminate and up the snorkel??

EDIT: Also what do i do about the rear axle breather that terminates in the rear wheel arch?

Budgie:
You can either insert the breather tubes into the snorkel and run them up the inside or, if there's room, have them run out under the edge of the bonnet by the bulkhead, across the top of the wing and up the outside of the snorkel using tie-raps to secure them.

As for the rear axle, you need to extend this into the engine bay. I ran mine up the rear axle A-frame (allowing some slack for articulation), along the chassis rail and up between the back of the engine & bulkhead where the others are found.  :wink:

littlepow:
The gear box and transfer case are routed up into the engine bay already. I just extended these.

The front axle is fed along the axle to the radius arm, then along this to the chasis. Then fed through, under the wheel arch into the engine bay.

The gearbox, transfere case and front axle are all attached to the outside of the raised air intake. This is to reduce contamination of the air into the engine.

The rear axle only goes into the drivers side rear wheel arch. The pipe is fed along the axle to the trailing arm, then up this to the chasis.
At present mine goes up the back of the car as the breather wasn't long enough to reach the front. Need to get that changed soon.
