well .. I did not know what to call the topic, for the last month I have had twin 32DIR webers, unusual , but I am very happy with them, however because I have Lynx Ramflo filters not the original sealed aircleaner- under certain conditions, ei a lot of throttle up a hill , then ease off , made worse because of the torque convertor slip, the fumes dont all suck into the carbies & waft into the cabin , because of the weird design of the carbies it is deifficult to fabricate a sealed aircleaner, has anybody got any ideas how to minimise this:jesus

:alien
have you a photo ?

at the base of the carb do you have a male hose barb ?

no, the manifolds remain as standard, with adaptor plates to fit the progressive Webers to the top of each manifold

drill and tap a hose barb in to them ,then fit a T peice ( balanced ) to suck the fumes in ???

it is easy just fit a T peice in the balance tube , but problem then is it operates on full vacuum, affecting your mixture severely most cars have something called positive crankcase ventilation , which is similar to what you suggest but has a PCV (valve) which makes sure it does not operate at higher vacuum & also the crankcase has another hole (vent somewhere ) usually to compensate for when PCV is closed, I am hesitant to fit a PCV valve, because If I don't do it right., excessive crankcase pressure will bolw the oil seals out

Then you could all ways fit a subaru in there ! :alien

thanks, shouldn't be too hard, all I have to do is wait until one is following me, then slam the brakes on:P

In my old kombi, when I went to duals I made up a cheapo breather box out of a disused 1 ltr oil container with a brass fitting epoxied into the side (up the top) of it. I found an old breather type oil cap in some junk, jammed it in the top of the container, ran a breather hose from the case outlet to it, bungee corded it to the side of the engine bay and wallah !!!! no more oil soaked fumes, just remember to empty it out every now and then, as it does collect a small amount of oil..

I was thinking of trying that, a sort of expansion tank with the outlet still going to the aircleaners, I was hoping somebody would mention the same thing.
