R33 Oil Breather

[EMZ R33]

Hi all, well as the topic title and description states.........Whats the deal with an oil breather. I was searching ebay (just now actully) and have come across a few of them for abou $20 and was wondering if they would be of any benifit to me and my R33. If anyone has any info on them that would be awesome. And if anyone has a pic or two they would like to share that would be great too.

Kind regards, Evan

Nuh, have a look at the following link, this might help ya see what i mean. I think they would look mint under the bonnet in full view to match my Hurricaine Pod Air Filter but will they be of any benifit....thats the real question????

Kind regards, Evan

PS) Sorry guys and girls links are not working so i got rid of them. Just go to ebay australia and search for oil breathers, there is only a few of them and they generally come in red or silver.

ohh ok, if you go putting it onto the oil breather pipe, you will be letting unmetered (by air flow meter) air to enter engine and it will run lean and stall at idle.

also it illegal and you will end up with oil shooting everywhere under the hood, once the filter is saturated.

you could use one on top of a catch can, once you bypass the PCV system, but its still illegal.

Ahhhh i see, thanks RB30 Power for the info, well that was a short lasting idea i had!!! Thought i could make the engine bay lok a little more agressive, haha!! In the end sounds like a stupid idea really!
