{"product_id":"breather-plate","title":"Breather Plate","description":"The Mountune Breather Plate is engineered to directly replace the original engine block plate on Mk3 Focus RS and ST models. It significantly increases the baffle surface area through a precision-machined, labyrinth-style design. This enhanced surface area allows for more effective trapping of crankcase vent vapor within the crankcase, preventing it from entering the intake system.\n\nDirect injection engines, such as the 2.3-litre EcoBoost, can produce oil vapor from the crankcase and cylinder head. This vapor is typically recycled back into the air intake system, potentially leading to carbon deposit buildup on intake valves and reduced engine performance. Over time, this oil vapor can accumulate on intake hoses, the turbocharger, intercooler, and intake tract, impeding airflow and further decreasing performance. The Mountune Breather Plate's design increases the route oil vapor takes to the intake manifold, incorporating more deflection points to remove additional oil from the vapor before it reaches the engine.\n\nMachined from solid aluminum, this breather plate is optimized for modified 2.0 and 2.3-litre EcoBoost engines. It offers easy installation and includes twin ports for straightforward integration with many aftermarket catch can systems, though catch can integration is not required for its basic function. This component is highly recommended for applications involving higher boost levels or high-performance tuning to maintain peak engine performance.","brand":"Mountune","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52865820164408,"sku":"2536-EBP-AA","price":174.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/687459455.webp?v=1787903778","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/breather-plate","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
