i have similar setup on mine but i have used a 90 degrees NPT nipple and it was direct fit.

 

Did you thread the breather hole?

 

yes just tapped a little bit and the npt fitting went in smoothly, used some teflon on the threads. installed a line with a fuel tank filter from lawn mower as a filter to make sure it doesnt drip.

 

I was afraid of metal fragments falling into the transfer case, that's why I opted for the o-ring approach first and then later the press fit.

Did you take the TC apart in order to thread the breather hole or did you tap it with the TC upside down or some other clever method?

 

I am interested in one. How much of a press fit? would I need to pull the TC out again?

 

I can make them with varying degree of press fit. It's possible to make so that it just drops in and then you can use some sealant on it instead. That way you can install and remove it without pulling the TC.

 

Interested in one.

 

Interested.

 

Hey robert i'll end up getting one of those and your steering wheel adapter at some point. I'll hit you up on the chat.

 

This is sweet. I’ll take a TC adapter, pending on pricing.

 

I used a portion of the original squishy breather to make a gasket for a barbed 90 degree plastic fitting.

I don't like the press fit design. I think using 2 or 3 orings would give you a seal and be removable. I'd also want shallow grooves or barbs on the outlet so the hose doesn't just slip off one day. Perhaps use your block to set the angle and then instead of the smooth nipple (giggity), use an NPT or SAE port for an off the shelf barbed fitting.

 

The o-ring approach was what I tried first but the grove for the stock breather partially down the hole is very large and messes up the fitment as it likes to intefere with the o-rings on the breather both when installing and removing it.

I didn't make any grooves in the nipple as the silicone hose I had used for the past few years was stuck on there so hard that I almost had to cut it loose. There is no pressure worth mentioning inside the transfer case so a silicone hose with a small spring clamp should not come loose unless it gets physically snagged somewhere.

 

Interested in one.

 

Definitely interested if this is still a thing.

 

I'm about to make a small batch of breathers in a few weeks. Just waiting for a new vice for my rotary table.

 

I’ll have to check with Chris to see if the ATX AWD TC uses the same breather as the VR-4 TC’s.

 

That's probably a good thing to do, I've never come across an ATX AWD TC so I have no idea how the breather hole looks on those. Ask Chris to measure the inside diameter of the hole as precisely as possible.

 

Interest part still available
(Res - hose - fitting)
$ ?

 

For the reservoir I just used one of these generic ones for motorcycles. You can get them at many places:

Brake fluid reservoir transparent external universal

Universal transparent brake fluid reservoir with membrane, 8mm connection, 6mm screw hole, for vehicles with disc brakes and external reservoir.

I use silicone hose on my car but a rubber hose would probably be a better choice as silicone doesn't really like oil in the long run.

I'm planing to sell the fittings for 40$ + shipping (without reservoir and hose).

 

VERY fair price for a quality part....

Thank You for being a part of this community.
Happy Holidays!

Bob.

 

I would be interested in one as well! I really like your integration with the fuel filter bracket.

 

Good news, the new vice for my rotary table finally arrived so I'll start making these next week.

They'll be made out of 6082 billet aluminum and I'll post in this thread when they are ready.

 

I would also like one.

 

Only the fiddly work left now

 

The first batch of TC breathers will be done in a few days. The price is 40$ and due to the light weight of the breathers tracked international shipping to most European countries and the US is only 11$.

Send me a message here on 3SI, on Facebook Messenger (Log in or sign up to view) or an email to unlogic@unlogic.se if you want to purchase one and I'll reply with my PayPal address.

PS. If someone also wants to buy a Mitsubishi Colt/Evo steering wheel adapter (Sparco SPX seat install) I can send one of those in the same package without any additional shipping cost.

I have not received the e-mail from you, I suspect it might have been eaten by a spam filter somewhere along the way. I'll send you a PM here on the forum instead.
