Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Breathers? where do they go?

Yes...Yes...Yes...I just installed my Injen CAI, it is awesome, it screams!!! And my Greddy Evo exhaust...I'm uploading pics now.


But,I read where someone had a CAI on there car, and oil from the motor somehow seeped down the hose (injen provided w/ the intake) and was sucked up through the pipe into the intake manifold...

Is this possible?

I know you can put "breathers" in place of these hoses...but where?

I'm used to a honda...if anyone knows...please share your knowledge.

thanks.

the hose that plugs into the top of the throttle body/intake manifold

isnt this a breather?

yes it is

Does GTS has have it??

The breather Isaac showed was on a GT, my GTS looks different...! Maybe its just the plastic cover over the intake manifold

BUT wait, You cant just have one breather can you...It or they replace a hose, so this tells me that both connections have to have breathers or something filling them

right?

thanks for the input.

you can try to replace each hose with a breather... I don't know if its possible. I don't see it hurting anything

Remove the plastic cover on the intake manifold and you'll find the hose connector that needs the breather.

hey isaac, whats that setup you got on your gt?

on my gt? I have... umm, lemme check
(opening hood and seeing nothing but stock components... not even an intake )
