Guys
Just looking at a old mag and i saw BADHBT's integra
Was looking at the engine bay and noticed a little mini Air filter coming out of the head, like where a oil catch can, or normally where it connects to air intake piping ( sorry hard to explain)
what is the purpose just for dress up ???
see below sorry to the owner of the car just found in gallery
see the pipe behind the oil filler cap that thing hehheh im so vauge

injen CAI ??
thats all i see lol
ok crap that pic is a bad example ahahah
the black pipe
i think it lets air outta the Head, then it goes to the intake piping
but im thinking that a tiny bit of oil might escape to i dunno im no car genius
circle it with ms paint or something lol
yeh man i know exactly what you mean ive seen it too but also didnt know what is for, its like a min air filter about 1.5" thick that is mounted on the side of the rocker cover. not sure what is does tho? :honda:
hhahaha ok
here goes
Again sorry to owner of car just a good example
ok the red circle shows were it exits the head
the arrow ( looks like a arrow lol) is the black pipe going to the intake piping
ok any better Kenshin :)

do a SEARCH & u may find it - i saw it ages ago here @ O.H. one of the member ask a similar q's bout the 'breather' & 'oil catch can'
Yep if anyone is intrested heres link to a post
http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthr...light=breather
its an emissions thing, put on there to catch the fumes coming from the top of the head, some cai kits dont have the inlet for the piping so people will put a mini filter on there just to filter the shit which comes out of it.
So will a little filter stop the oil, casue in that post they say it makes a mess in engine bay
the filter will not stop the oil, as that is what an oil catch can is for, the only time oil will come out of there is if you are cornering REALLY hard enough for oil to go up into the release and flow through, doesnt happen much.
Yeah it shouldnt happen to much on the streets of sydney hahaha
cool thanks for all the input guys

It keeps an oil vapour + air flow thru the head and thus into the bottom of the car block to prevent sludge buildup etc.
The air flow then goes back up thru the PCV ( positive crankcase valve) and then again into the inlet manifold.
Have a look in this thread - http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=20226&highlight=oil+catch
- we discuss the point and location of an actual oil catch can - IE to catch excess oil vapour and prevent it from entereing the inlet manifold :D
then all your vapours go into the engine bay and all yr engine bits get oily YAY!
So to sumarize
* The thing i was talking about isnt where a oil catch can goes
* The thing i was talking about sucks in not out
* having a filter on there would make a mess ?
so the oil catch can goes on inlet manifold
not reocker cover inlet
cool thanks Bennjamin
