RX-1 With ECP kit, Oily mess comeing from the breather.

[Upnorthguy00]

I have a 2003 RX-1. I just installed the ECP filter kit on it. I must say it works AWSOME!!! Sounds pretty cool to! I been on 4 or 5 rides since I installed the kit. This past weekend it was pretty cold where I was. -15 to -20f. I noticed steam comeing out of the hood vents every time I stoped. There was also some oily moisture / Residue comeing from the breather.

Is this a common thing? What can I do to stop the breather from makeing a mess of my engine? Would a EVAC help this problem? Where would I get a EVAC from?

Any tips would be greatly Appricated.

Do a search on the EVAC. It's easy to make and solves this issue.

Don't overfill your oil level,if you do it will just blow out the breather.

Checked out the EVAC. Would'nt this just push the oily moisture back into my engine, through my carbs??

I am looking into the LP vent box. Does this work the same as the EVAC?

The Evac has a plug on the bottom you pull out after a few hours of riding or so and it drains the water and stuff out of a tube only the fumes make it back into the carbs plus when your pistons go down away from the head there is some compression there also the evac kit creates a sort of vacuum that gives you a bit more HP by releaving that back compression

Got the same problem (I don't have the evac) what I did was wrap a shop towel around the hose right below the breather that way it soaks up the moisture without getting it all over good for a few hundred miles then I just replace. If you over fill your oil it does seem to be more prevelant
