Hi all,
Is anyone using, or used in the past the MED engine breather kit?

Looks like the business, unsure of how that tank mounts under the wing though.
Or maybe tell me what you are using.....
Any comments welcomed.
Cheers
Chris

The curved 90 degree connector in the installed pics looks much better than the home made mitred one in pics of the parts!
Ive never understood why they cant source a length of hose with a 90 degree bend in it though - would look far smarter.

The tank has mounting tabs on it I think, so drill the inner wing to suit and bolt in place.

but on a road car I would just plumb it up as standard. less pressure in the crankcase, less chance of leaks and less smell.

100% agree with the pipe comment, didn’t even notice it till ya pointed it out.
Yes I see some tabs, drill and fit for sure.

Road car with a supercharger 😉

That's a lot of money for getting an oily engine.

 

You need some vacuum from the carb to get rid of the crankcase pressure and the fumes.

Some rivnuts on the inner wing would work well too. 

I bought a baffled catch can from my local parts shop as I was getting a bit of oil buildup in my air filter case (and I had a Christmas voucher to use). Possibly it's overkill or unnecessary, but I've collected a little bit of oil in there in the past 1000km and in my mind it's better getting trapped in there than going into the engine. 

 

This one fits in perfectly in the corner of the engine bay

This one is completely sealed too, no extra smell. It just gets installed in the middle of the breather hose and is now connected to the carb port

I think a system like that works well. Basically just an extra filter in the middle.

Excellent, and thank you for the pictures.
It all looks very neat and tidy how you've run it, almost factory.

There is no reason that you couldn't remote mount it either, or use a Y-piece to include a rocker cover breather as well. There are plenty of options out there for oil catch can setups. From what I read you need to make sure there is sufficient baffling inside to trap the oil mist. This one was about $100 including the hose
 

 

Edit: You can also get 3 port cans which have 2 inlet ports and one outlet

Yeah definitely keen to vent from the rocker cover, engine does breathe heavy when driven with steel jandals.
