OK, I've spoken to Johnny and this is where it's at.

 

Here's the description of how it works, posted earlier by Smithy:

 

Ok guys here's how the kit works, ON BOOST the one way valves are closed, Mio filters allow crankcase fumes to escape into the air induction to prevent build up, as per standard breather system.

OFF BOOST, which is where the problems are, Internal valves inside the Mio filters are now closed preventing air from being drawn into turbo charger inlet pipes. One way valves now open, drawing a vacuum from the inlet manifold, into the engine crankcase via the rocker cover connections. This metered crankcase depression prevents oil from escaping past the turbo end seals, causing exhaust oil smoke, there you go !!!

My conclusion is, the existing standard exhaust set up with cats, keeps back pressure nice and high, when this pressure reduces it causes the piston to wriggle free from the seal, until eventually there is a gap all the way around piston and seal does not mate up. If you're just removing cats it shouldn't be a problem, if your doing the exhaust as well, I would fit the kit, just in case lack of pressure does now wear out the seals. If you're smoking now already try the kit, it can only help matters as it did with mine. The kit can be fitted by anyone who's got screwdrivers and a few pairs of different pliers ...

 

If your turbos are getting on a bit, starting to smoke or you're removing cats then this seems like reasonable insurance against potentially quick and expensive turbo demise. Several people already have this fitted and report good results.

 

So far we have 7 people who have shown an interest :-

We need 10 or more for Johnny's supplier to give us this price.

Price is normally approx £133 all in (incl. VAT & postage), cost to us will be £105 all in, (£95, plus £10 postage).

Delivery should be around 15 days after the order goes through.

 

I would like to close this by Friday 19th October, so please confirm below if you're in.

 

Thanks

 

Andy

OK Andy, I'm in too!

I suppose I can route the hoses as in the picture above (if needed, that is).

 

Johnny already has my CC and address details(bought the Racelogic system from him).

 

Cheers for the effort m8!

Maciej

Need some explination.

 

What are the "Mio filters"

 

Stuart :S

Funny you should say that, i believe they are some sort of valve that are used in cossie's, sod all to look at !!Smithy

Am I too late?

Not too late. Was gonna run until this Friday, but we have a great take up and I'm going away on Thurday afternoon for a long weekend, so I'll send the info to Johnny then.

a long weekend paid for by the commission on breather kits

Good idea, I'll ask Johnny ....

 

Seriously, nobody is making any money out of these except the manufacturers. I reckon Grasshopper should be registered as a Charity for 300zx's !

I'm in too

cheers, count me in.

adam

JESUS ANDY YOU SHOULD COME AND WORK WITH ME MATE.

 

O.K We will need to put some kind of closing date in place and confirmed names and addresses.

 

If guys are paying by Visa / Mastercard I will have to charge a 2.5% surcharge. Switch card / Cheque or cash will be cool.

 

Looks good. Pitty nobody will be ordering turbo`s for a while now. oooops.

 

CheerZ

 

Johnny

Closing time is Thursday morning. Then I'll get a list of names/email addresses together and mail them to all + Johnny. Everyone will need to contact him and arrange to get him the payment.

 

Come on, must be one more, lets make it the nice round 20.

Go on then. I'll be number 20.

 

Andy

Probably the biggest Z group buy EVER

 

Whats the next one ?

I reckon it should be tyres - they make a bloody fortune on those !

'scuse me m8...

 

 

... You forgot me, I've been in for ages!

Tim

I didn't add you because you left a question rather than a definite YES. But don't panic you're in now.

Yes OK. Count me in!!

 

Sorry, backing out at the moment!!! Other fish to fry!!!

ok go on put my name down, but do i have to pay ?

Considering the ammount of money i spend with johhny i think im getting this one free

You know it makes sense !

 

Rather than paying Johnny you could pay Turbo Techniques or course, think it would cost you a bit more though !

bloody hell, just made it, yeah count me in.

 

for Johnny Boy, don't forget (i'm sure you havent) that I need to send you those brake pads back.

 

cheers AndyP for sorting.

 

Martin

Sent out email this morning. However, it got bounced to Warren and Syko.

 

Warren, I'll resend to a different address.

 

Syko, you'd better email me.

Johnny,

 

Cheque on the way - should be with you Friday.
