pro alloy breather install

[stevegto3]

hi guys just installing my breather tank and i cant work out the pipe from the bottom.

On the original there is a large pipe exiting the bottom of the breather.

In the pro alloy it has two exit pipes small and a large. I thought the large would be to atmosphere. However the existing pipe on the breather looks too big to go on the small exit pipe on the pro alloy unit

Any help appreciated.

Steve,
This is how I have mine piped.

thanks. so is the large pipe to atmosphere and the smaller of the two back to sump?

Yes, I had to use an adapter to go to atmosphere since the tank pipe opening and the hose they supplied was too big.

Large pipe goes out through the bottom of the car, can drip oil once parked up. I cut mine so it just passed the bottom floor plate so you can't see it when looking at the rear of the car.

im having real issues trying to get the athmosphere pipe out through the floor as i just cant get it to stay there, is there any where else to route it?

I just cut a hole and fed the pipe through - it didn't move.

That looks like a very neat floor!! :-)

Ive managed to do it, but two points.

1. The sump pipe seems very very close to the drive shaft, it might have been like that in the original breather, but should that be a concern.

2. I went out for a 15 min drive just to check there is no leaks. When I checked the pipe work the vent to athosphere pipe was too hot to touch. should it be heat wrapped or do you think its thick enough core to be ok?

Cheers

Mine has been fine with the heat
