Hey Guys,
I noticed that the info on here about diff breathers is fairly patchy so i decided to put this up on exactly what is needed to do the job yourself and save yourself a bundle on those kits you see on ebay (that probably wont fit without drilling or tapping)
I wasnt happy with the idea of running 1/2in hose all over the place, its just WAAAY too massive and bulky. this looks good and is not overkill.
Heres what you need
5 Meters x 3/16in or 5mm ID Fuel/Emissions hose (mines Goodyear brand) $29 - I used almost all of this, its a good amount to buy.
200mm x 1/2in or 12mm ID Fuel/Emissions hose $2
2x Male hosetail brass barb fitting - 3/16in barb 1/4in bsp thread $3.50
2x Female hosetail brass barb fitting - 1/2in barb 14in bsp thread $4.50
4x 10-22mm Hose Clamps $5.50
1x Mini air breather (supercheap) p/n CALMAB12 $14.99
1x 5mm barbed elbow $3.99
1x 5mm barbed t-piece $3.99
some thread tape
plenty of cable ties
All the hose stuff i got from a hose supplier in my local industrial district, the breather filter i got from supercheap.
Youll notice in the photo there are some smaller hose clamps for the small hose connections, I did not end up needing these.... the hose that i used was pressed on quite tightly to the barbs so i deemed them not necessary, you may find that you need them however.
I started off by making an adaptor to fit onto the rather large nipples found on the suzuki diff when you pop the caps off.
I used a small length of the 1/2in hose with the barb in one end, and screwed on the smaller barb to make a reducer. Dont forget the thread tape.
Then i attached the 5mm hose to the end of it to start the run from the rear diff to the front
Here it is on the rear diff looking from the front, i have already begun the routing as you can see
once you get half way along the left hand side, i ran mine across to the other side as you can see here
following the right hand chassis rail now using brake lines for cable tie points
Once i got to the point where the hose is to run straight up to the engine bay, I repeated the above procedure on the front diff and put the T-Piece in and ran it up the firewall.
I dont have a pic of the hose hanging out of the engine bay but you get the idea, Now i had to make the fitting for the filter to fit onto the hose, its simply an elbow connector with a small bit of hose to make it fit into the breather filter.
pretty easy huh? now i stuck that on the end of the hose and attached it to the rear firewall with a cable-tie mount (bit of plastic with double-sided tape, buy at supercheap)
FINISHED
:D
