oil tank breather on CIS to EFI

bb · 01-11-2005, 07:12 PM

I am going to switch my 2.7 Turbo from CIS to EFI using Tbitz's kit this winter. The big question is what am I going to do with the oil tank breather since I am no longer going to have an airbox to hook it up to. I am going to fabricate an airbox to use a Mustang throttle body.

Thanks

Plumb it into the new airbox.

I misplaced the shaft for my 2.7L Non-turbo CIS throttle body.

Will you have one that will work or know how to use one from another car?

Thanks,

What about the hoses for the Gas tank that go to the canister on the right side of the motor. On the link the car doesn't have it. Can I just remove it. There are no emission laws in Ohio for a car this old, so why can't I just remove it?

Thanks

This is not a breather so that fuel will flow? It seems that it is just for emissions.

In non emission law states my philosophy is re-engineer, reroute and remove.

But, is that all that it is for, Emissions?

Yup, when it comes to gas fumes and crankcase blowby the green police would prefer that your car should capture and burn what it can instead of letting those fumes into the air.

There is a good argument that those unburned hydrocarbons are much worse for your health than their combustion products from a well maintained car with a catalyst.

If you have heat on a 911 you may want to keep the crankcase vent tapped into the air cleaner housing so you don't have to smell oil fumes and blowby gasses in your car cabin.
