Do I Need A Breather For My Car, Its Supercharged??

92GreenGT · Apr 7, 2004

I just need a yes or no answer.

I have heard they let unmetered air in the engine. I know there is another thread sorta like this one but I want to know for sure. Thanks

You need to vent the crankcase pressure somehow - a breather is one way to do that. Whether or not they allow unmetered air to enter the crankcase depends on whether or not you have a pcv valve plumbed into the intake. If you do, then the breather will allow unmetered air to enter.

It says in the Vortech instructions to take that off. So no, its gone. So it will be ok to buy one? Thanks man

HAHA

Well yes and no. I would rather for it say something about a turbocharger. But a Supercharger is better than nothing right?

It tells you to remove the pcv in the instructions, but doesn't tell you how to vent the crankcase? Strange. If the pcv is removed, then there shouldn't be an unmetered air issue using a valve cover breather.

Yep

So a breather would be a good idea. Thanks for your help.

Not just a nice thing - required. If you have no pcv and no breather, eventually you'll build crankcase pressure and blow oil out of seals and gaskets like you can't imagine.
