Hello all. I want to go to 4 individual air cleaners on an 84 FJ1100. What should I do with the crankcase vent tube? Is there a filter or valve that can be installed in that vent hose? Thanks.

Hi David.  Yes, you will need one of these to substitute the airbox deletion:

Have a good one and welcome,

Hi David, I have the individual pods on my '93 but found the crankcase filter can get messy after a while and in traffic on a hot day I can smell oily fumes. I have resorted to this expensive set up. An old chammy leather container and about a $1 worth of tubing and some foam off of an old foam filter just to add a bit of restriction between the carbies and crankcase breather. I think this gives a setup similar to the original airbox system.

An option that Randy at RPM showed me was to place the breather filter up between the intakes of carbs 3&4. As vapor escapes, the carbs suck it back in much like the air box set up.
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

That's what I do.
