October 9, 200124 yr Can anyone tell me how the breather kit, that Johnny sells, is working. I don't want to disturb the man himself, as I heard he's rather busy. I'm just trying to decide which way to go. I've got a diagram of a breather kit that Stillen recommends and wanted to see if Johnny's setup is equivalent or better. Appreciate any info. Maciej
October 9, 200124 yr Hi there Maciej Fitted my breather kit about five months ago and it seems to be doing its job. I had two problems after I removed the cats on my car. The first was the obvious build up of pressure on the turbo oil seals. The second was a build up of condensation in the exhausts. Each time I went to use the car it would just pile white smoke out of the exhausts. The head gasket on my car was ok after checking so I was a bit concerned. Johnny Boy said he had the same problem and that this kit from turbo tecnics sorted it out. Once fitted it seemed to do just that!! No more smoke out of the car luckily. It took the garage I used about two or three hours to fit the kit. They said it was not too difficult to fit, just a bit awkward. Going from memory the kit was around £250.00 and worth the money since it sorted out my car. I think Smithy and a few of the other guys have had these kits fitted. I does give a nice little whooosh sound when you put the clutch in and change gear.It's worth the £250.00 just to have that!!LOL Hope this helps a bit M8. I am sure Johnny can give you more info though. Seez ya! Simon H BTW If you send me a copy of the stillen diagram I can look to see if it is the same set up as mine.

October 9, 200124 yr Thanks m8! Do you know if it's still connected to the manifold, through the PCV-valves? Does it take care of the "sucking in oil at right turn"-problem? Maciej
October 9, 200124 yr I will check anyway for you Maciej but I think the answer to you first question is yes it is( will confirm ) Not sure about question two M8. All I can say is that it works fine and has given my Zed no problems. Laterz Simon H
October 9, 200124 yr Simon, I just found a good explanation made by Smithy here: http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/ubbforum/Forum1/HTML/001512.html Thanks for your input anyway! This'll be one of my winter projects Cheers, Maciej
