Oil catcher for SVX

[Vlad772]

Hi there,

I've got an oil in the inlet air pipe. It comes form the carter ventilation system (it might be an extra pressure there). I've seen oil catch tank suitable for WRX or STI. Does anybody has any expirience with it?

Thanks in advance.

I would think an air/oil separator canister that works on an EJ would work on an EG... if it can be attached in much the same way.

Maybe this would work, also.
Air/Oil Separator - Subaru - GrimmSpeed



Although that is a bit expensive, at 300$

That piece has also been determined to not work with the Subaru NA system. They're working on something to suit our (your? ) needs.

I found the similar one but I concerned about its usability on NA engine. The price is about 60$, not too much to have a try Otherwise the question is still opened.

Somebody, please correct me if I'm wrong.

In its naturally aspirated state, the SVX's H6 and your everyday H4s effectively require two catch cans to cover the whole system - one for the valve covers and one for the PCV system. The question has been raised on NASIOC as to whether the valve covers actually need a catch can at all.

A 2-to-1 like the oil cap shown above might have merit in that the valve covers could merge there, then lead to the intake in one location, with the other former hose connection capped off.

This is surely a legitimate concern; when I removed my intake manifold, it was a lot like others I've seen... full of oil!

Got a link to the $60 one, fwiw?

I logically agree on that the PCV requires a catch can whereas the valve covers not.

And why not merging both banks into one inlet and buying a cheap (<$80) catch can instead of paying $300 for an "extra terrestrial" one?
