non standard air filter
just fitted blade engine into chassis and it looks like i will not be able to use standard air box what do i do with the breathers and sensors if a
foam filter is fitted also if the sensors are not connected will this show up as a fault as i am using standard bike clocks and will this effect the
fuel mangement system as it is a fuel injected blade.

put the sensor into the plate that you get when you buy the air filter,i think you can allso get a filter for the crancase breather

I assume its an injected blade cos the carbed ones dont have any sensors in the airbox.
The sensor in the airbox is usually an inlet temperature sender so as Ox said, mount it inside your foam filter through the backplate.
As for the breathers, just breathe them into a catch tank of somesort, anything will do really as long as its vented so allows the air to escape (but
not any oily bits)

Make sure it's at least made from ally. Run your crank breather into one tube of the catch tank (inlet) and either put a breather filter
(K&N do 'em) on the outlet or a long hose from the outlet down to an exit point under the car, but AWAY from the wheels!

Yep, maybe should have qualified that by saying anything that can take the heat etc, an old beer can seems to be a favourite of some club racers!

engine breathers
my old SDI V8 breather was quite a small container with a wad of very coarse 'wire wool' in it.
Seemed like a good idea to me - more likely to catch oil droplets/mist.
Also large bore pipe - low gas velocity - less likely to carry oil all the way though?
I need to sort this out on my new V8 - I get plenty oil smoke when I give it some stress!!
