breather filters legal?

[EK1.6LCIV]

i dont think noise would be the problem though.

oil might be tho, seen a few with oil heavily in them...

I used to run one directly of the cover and it gathered oil over 12 months when my car was NA. Then after i turbo'd it i got a Greddy oil catch and put a new breather on it and havent had a problem since. I even got a permit for it at the pits after explaining the theory of a catch can to the examiner because he didnt know what it did when i asked to get a permit for it.

They are illegal though. By australian law they say that any omissions from a car need to pass through a catalytic converter. Thats the main reason why screamers and bov's are illegal, and that they cause noise pollution

there's a few designs that are legal and work well, Marko bought a nice one the other day, that actually does its job, worth the money

wont the oil possibly caught in the filter just end up being sprayed all inside ur intake etc? maybe why i should look at oil catch can??

The theory of oil catch works perfectly. but buy law its not accepted in Australia.

Marko has a this catch can. It vents to Atmosphere, therefore illegal.

what if instead of using the breather i could pipe it back into the intake. it would save oil being spat into my intake..

and dave, my dad dont know sht about defects, hes just a standard cop. its state traffic branch that will get me...but he hates my car and everything in it lol. he would defect it if he pulled me over i reckon...

i did had 2 different colours even, it didn't make any difference on my b16. Had to take it off for engineering cos they wouldn't engineer it with the breather.

Try it yourself the breather DOES make noise. Anywhere there is air exchange there is sound. Shows how bright you can be

[Limbo]

yeah if you plumbed it back to the intake arm it would be ok.
But in NSW they pull the crappy excuse of 'Not standard' to give you a defect ticket. I dun think they ever read the ADR standards on modifications

Not to get into a bitch convo about how cops hand out yellows but really they can hand out a yellow for what ever they want. I've had some crappy reasons to be honest and you bring it over the pits and the inspector looks at it and laughs and says "yeh thats bullsh1t" and marks it off.
