Really nice. one place I had to improvise was under the billet mount, where it mates to the heads, I had to use some Toyota drain plug washers to seal things up. On the other end of the breather bolts, I was a little confused about the washers that were provided with the kit. Two thin steel ones and four thin mylar(?) ones. I just put one plastic and one steel on each bolt, and a drop of blue loctite. I had to remove the steel bracket that spans the breather holes, and has one allen bolt that attaches it to the IAC valve. It was too thick, and the gasket under the mount (@ the throttle body) would not seal with it in place, hence the oil drain plug washers. they are thin aluminum, with a teflon like coating, perfect thickness. The kit comes with two gaskets, one for under the billet mount, and one for under the filter base. The kit comes with nice stainless steel fasteners. The rest of the job is just like mreed demonstrated in his OP. I found the knurled **** right next to the autozone air filter.Not sure if I like it or not, may get an acorn nut. I'm still contemplating painting it, and if I do, might get some pinstriping or something on it. I also have a K&N filter coming. So, when it's all said and done, I'll probably have $120 into it, but think it beats $250 or more for a commercially marketed air cleaner kit.

- Some others found a bracket which diverted the blowback back through the carb, same as the stocker or the SE would do, and there was no need for any special external breathers. They posted them in this thread of few pages back, I think they were paying 80-100 backs for the bracket. That should eliminate the symptoms of the blowback 100% and you could keep the look.

- try turning your breathers up rather than down, as they say sh*t runs down hill. I have two breathers turned up, and while I did have some oil blowback, it never got anywhere (although my breathers did yellow a tad from the oil). Here is a pic of what I was running, I used a brass fitting from Home Depot, I think a 1/2 or 3/8 inch MIP male end which was a tight fit over the stock breather bolts. You could connect these two a hose or two different breathers or whatever. It sounds like your problem is more severe though so I'm not sure if this would work.


PS: did you notice any power improvement going back to the ham can? I did and I am wondering if a K&N could get my performance back, or if I should avoid this setup completely....

I am wondering if a K&N filter is the solution or if I should abandon this setup completely.
