Wazman's NB8a

Hey Wazman, what did you do with the" ventilation hose" on the exhaust side of the rocker cover (under the oil cap)? Actually, what does it do?

[matt9111]

I know the part your talking about, I've got the exact same setup for my intake on my car, legally I think you need a catch can, but I just put a breather on it (looks like a really small pod filter). I think you can get defected for the breather, but at the moment my cars so unnoticeable to the disco van's it doesn't matter to me. I couldn't tell you what it does, lol someone else will have to handle that.

Cheers

Matty

That pipe looks just like a breather for the top of the engine. Plumbed back into the inlet so any oil fumes go back into the engine so it is a closed-system to meet emissions. A breather or catch-can would not be legal as both usually vent to atmosphere. I wouldn't be fussed about it though - i'd use a tiny filter on it.

It is defectable having a breather on there, i got pinned for it on saturday night!

block it up.

[wazman]

I intend on putting on a catch can for that breather....atm its swinging in the breeze

I put in the Adaptronic on the weekend.......and got defected......."To low" pffft ! whatever

[Jeo]

Just for beign too low? Sucks either way.

[matt9111]

Thats annoying, adaptronic would nice though.

[Okibi]

What do you think of the adaptronic? How hard was it to install? Did it run fine on the base maps? ... very tempted to get one.

[wazman]

I have yet to get the adaptronic tuned....... been busy. Went to haunted hills climb track on the weekend, lots of fun that track! got a fair bit of sliding done there

nice sticker on the windscreen also had to throw the stock wheels on to get it cleared.....


playing around tacking bends here and there..... trying to see whats gunna work best.....





needs a decent collector though....... spacial restrictions......argh.....oh well just setting it up atm.....

Extra lock is needed....modified knuckles soon !

[dorifta]

can we fit tie rod spacers on?

[wazman]

yeah we can...... i aint checked to see if nissan ones will fit yet. The americans are just using knuckles on NA 5's..... I got a pair to butcher and experiment with.

stay tuned

do not use tie rod spacers, if you collect something mid drift, the whole assembly will fall apart. (out comes the tie rod)

Get some secret element tie rod ends/or modify your knucles.

We talking mx5s only or in general?

i been using spacers for over 2 years now... not a single problem... all of the boys had no issues either.

MX5's, the thread on the tie rod is too short with a spacer, basically if you hit something, it will pop out of place, and you will be in a whole lot of trouble.
