MPI breather hose

[kinger]

Do most of you guys route the breather pointing at the coolant tanks like MPI suggests and have it spray oil mist all over that area?

Anyway to clean it up so its not constantly getting the electronics, brake, etc covered in spray? Its not bad after 1000 miles this sled has a film on everything that will easily clean up with some degreaser and a hose but seems like a wierd deal. Thanks!

I went to an auto parts store and put a small breather filter on ,wor ked fine

Did you leave the plug like thing that came with it installed from MPI as well or remove that?

Ted'll sell you a neat little box sorta thing that solves that issue - or you can just wipe it off or not - then you sled will look like mine


Note the oil spouge beneath the breather tube

Jannetty sells a kit for the RX's - like the guy with the Nytro did, aluminum box, lines, breather - return line.

We use the little blue automotive type filters (looks like 2" mini chrome K&N filters) for $10 - then wrap it with a micro fiber cloth cut down.

I use to use just a rag over the MPI insert and then covered that with a plastic baggy.

Good designs guys! I'll pick one and do something about it before next year. Thanks!

Isnt the plug from mpi a filter? seems very restrictive. do they want that resistance? doesnt seem right.

I routed the hose to the nose of the sled on the left side right beside the S/C oil tank - its alot easier to clean up there - just take the nose cone off and wipe it up, I leave a shop rag right under it and it soaks up most of the oil

looks like you spare belt blew the cords out

I wrapped a towel around mine and routed it to the front of the sled no more oil. Sled doesn't use any oil in 1200-1500 miles either. So looks like I am good. Thanks for the tips!
