Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior is this true or not

i have a friend that said if we have this on our engines, on the long run its harmful to it. is this true or false?
(im talking about wats circled on the pix)

never see it before looks like a scooter power filter

wtf is that

that will not be harmful to my knowledge... it's a filter for an unused segment of hose and found on the TPR Intake if I'm not mistaken

That's what called a crankcase breather filter. Everyone knows a car engine is an amazing piece of machinery but it isn't perfect. As an engine runs, gas build up in side the block due to the combustion process. Usually these gases are recycled back into the engine through one of the many hoses on a car engine. What that filter does is allow those gases to escape and fresh air be brought back into the block. They are most commonly seen accompanied with CAI Intakes. I was very surprised to find out the AEM and Injen didn't use them in their CAI design. I had a CAI on my old Saturn and I had to use a crankcase breather. They are not harmful, if anything they help the engine but it is only in a minute fashion. Hope that helps

yeah its a breather filter...

instead of having that on your AEM or Injen CAI, that hose plugs into the Intake and just gets spat back in.

Awww... it's sooooo cute

Advanced Auto sells those
another wonderful APC product.

I know that one is not made by APC.

Is That a TPR Intake? and are you happy with it?

hahahah yes that is the first prototype of it, and i wish i had the TPR Intake, but hey i did sold my INJEN CAI, to get the TPR Intake, so as soon as i get the TPR Intake install ill post a feedback, and dont worry this wont take a long time, i should have it done by next month, or mid october, stick around

Dude, I have read about those things but my problem is, when I bought mine online it didn't come with instructions so I never installed it cause I didn't know where it install it. Could U explain where and how I install it? Tnanks...

im not sure were it goes ether, hang around someone will answer u

it goes on the tube that you hook up to ur injen/aem Intake..on the Intake you see there are one stick out hole, so you plug that tube into that, well instead of pluging it on the Intake you just put the breather on it..Look at the pic, follow that red hose, that hose should be connected to the car, and then there a black circular thing connected to that hose and out the other end is ur breather..

whers the info on tpr Intakes

That is FALSE. Your friend is wrong. Its just as harmful as your CAI, if not less.

so you cant install one unless you have an aftermarket Intake?

you can install them on a stock car if you want lol

On the AEM Intake they use a small tube welded to the cai and the hose recycles into there.

For TPR they decided to make a solid tube and use the breather instead.

It wont hurt your motor

if i did install on a stock car. would you be able to see it from up above in plain eyesight. or well it be down in there?

why on earth would you want to do that????

It's not gonna give you any power or anything. I said that as a joke cause I didnt think anyone would do that. apparently I have to be a lil more careful with what I say lol

oic. im not the brightest when it comes to cars.

we all start somewhere

Hey Lucky.. can you help me install this? www.sunamiturbo.com [sunamiturbo.com]

omg i hope you didnt get that for you car, omg if you did you dont deserve to drive a celica, thats for dumbass spicks, with them rice out civics not our cars, y fake it if you dont have it

I heard that the tpr Intakes that easy_c is making now won't use a breather filter because they are hard to come by.

I could be wrong though.

^^^
I'm pretty sure that they're just on backorder...

I was being a smart ass I would cut off my left testical before I put that Piece of Rice Engineered shit on my car

hahhahaha okay good

Your friend is a retard

^^^hahahahhahahaa lol hahahahhahaha lol hahahahhahaha lol
