i have a cold air intake
i have seen some small little intakes that gon on the top of the motor
is it legal and is it healthy to my b18 vtec?

 

nobody knows?
i even have a picture look
so you know what i am talking about
, sorry for not being SPECIFIC

 

Why put a breather on which will cause it to take in hot air? Instead, leave it stock. The breather hose utilizes the stock intake plenum, therefor taking in cooler air.

Breathers are gay!

 

i see no reason why it would be illegal. but im not 100%.

whats the point of that thing?

 

hmm, i'm not too sure what it is either. i read a write up once about it, it says that it keeps your throttle body, and intake manifold cleaner due to oil residue. but i have also never seen a difference in performance on a motor that has one, versus one that does not. IMO its just for looks.

whoa that is a pic of my motor lol yeah i do it becuase it is red and i dont have another black tube going around

 

so maybe it isnt a good idea
how much was your mugen thing?

 

Not legal in cali? All hoses must be hooked up according to the hose and emission diagram located under your hood. If you ever get pulled over by a cop and they see that, you'll get sent to the state ref.

 

I have a breather filter on my motor but thats only becuase the passwordjdm whale ***** for abs doesnt have a nipple for the vaccum line. It was taht or leave it open.

ummm, really? breathers aren't air intakes, and the valve cover doesn't suck in air...breathers on the valve cover aren't meant to bring in air, so having cold or hot air around there makes no difference. All they really do is show that you were too lazy to hook it up to your intake (where it should be...it really isn't that hard), or if you're running FI, to a catch can (or similar setup).

Read up on the link that 1Point8DC2 provided...it'll explain things very well.

 

breathers are illegal in california, it's marked as modified emissions.
