Probably only work on cars with secondary air injection

I was thinking that if you disconnected the air supply from the non-return valve and replaced it with a supply from the engine breather...thinking of the thicker one that branches into a V on the v6 engines

In theory the heat of the exhausts would burn off any nasties.....no 'dirty air' going into the plenum.


well?

Just had a re-think I doubt (certainly hope) that the pressure in the engine wouldnt be enough to 'push' the breather gases past the non-return valve that is being kept closed by exhaust pressure
If an artic overtakes you, you're driving too slow!!!!!!!!!!!

You would need crank case pressure....and god help you if the return valve ever failed!

Not a go'er......you need engine vaccum to remove crank fumes idealy...
