Those pipes from throttle bodys to rocker cover

I'm just putting my throttle bodies back together at the moment and was sure i read something on here a while ago about removing these pipes. But i've just done a search and cant find anything :?

Its the ones that come off each individual throttle body, link up behind the rocker cover, and then connect to the back of it :wink:

And what was the reason for removing them :?: Other than looking like they dont do much :lol:

it was something to do with the 2 next to each other, looping them together, discodave did it and reckoned it made fook all difference.

Something to do with emissions ( dont think thats spelt right) , try the search function, think it was ross that was on about it

I was trying to get some more info and photos on this so someone from Ford who worked on emissions was gonna see weather it was safe to do so and if it was worth doing.

is it worth doing? and what are the gains/advantages of this set up?

The system scavenges the breathing gases from inside the engine on idle and part throttle etc and can leave oil in your throttle bodies which will obviously slow air speed into the engine and the oil fumes could possibly cause det by removing them you remove the problem, the system can also leak at high boost causing excess pressure in the crankcase etc.
If you do remove it you'd be best to uprate your breather system as it will now be working alot harder as the gases are no longer sucked out the engine.

Going to do this mod in the next few days. Anyone done it yet and can supply pic's? MarkTurbo, Nad??

Was going to use some blue Samco vacum hose, is this ok?

Paul, when you say the breather system has to be uprated, what exactly needs to be uprated?

On mine, i've blanked off the pipe from the air intake to rocker. It now goes from rocker to a oil catch tank and the out let is vented to atmosphire. Is this enough? I'm also still running the factory oil seperator.

I've done away with those pipes now but i havent really driven the car yet so its too early to tell if it smells of oil fumes or not.

But even if it does, who cares :lol: Its better than having oil being chucked into the inlet :wink:
