Which one? 210? 210+? 210 SPS? 335? 335 SPS? There's so many variants. Can't tell you what you can expect without knowing specifics, such as what pulley you're using, what octane gas/e85? Supporting mods?

Here's a spreadsheet I made that have some of the info on it that you may like.

Someone posted a nice chart a while back


edit: looks like stockysnail beat me to it.

I've posted it a few times in this thread.

I am planning on using the Toyota Super Long Life Coolant 50 Blue
This is just the Toyota variant of the Subaru coolant.
I assume this is fine.

Can you elaborate on how to set up a breather?

Or just don't screw the dipstick on tightly?

Yeah. It's the same stuff. I actually have the Toyota one in my car lol.

I have a question/problem.
On the initial install of the supercharger, I didn't run the engine breather hose (that connects to the back of the SC) correctly, so it doesn't reach. So I figure, okay no biggy I'll just vent the breather to atmosphere until I get some vacuum line and fix it.

So I did that, and capped the vacuum nozzle and all has been working fine. Today I got the vacuum line and routed the breather to the sc like instructed. All is fine until at temp. Now the vacuum is pulling too hard on the breather at idle, and I'm getting a low oil light and piston squeaking and strange sc noises.
It seems like there is too much vacuum and it is depriving my motor of oil.
Fearing a seize I pull over and turn off, check my oil nut and pop the hood. I know my oil level is fine because I checked it this morning.
In the last half an hour the only thing I've changed is the breather routing. So I pull that off and replace the vacuum with the cap. I noticed that there was some oil dripping from the breather hose.
What the hell is going on?

I'm at work now, gonna check oil levels after. For now I don't see the benefit of running a breather line with the possibility of destroying my motor and fouling my supercharger.
I should add that functionality has returned now that the vacuum is capped and I'm venting to atmosphere again.

you could likely put exactly the same breather set up (or some other kind of labyrinth breathing system) as the one that's mentioned above, but with the same fitting as the dipstick. you don't need the dipstick in there at all times, just to check the level.

Anybody got any ideas? I'm baffled as to why something that will total my motor is in the car's instructions. Are there any of you here who've installed it yourself and have any issues with the breather connections?

The engine breather hose(the one that connects close to the AC condenser and is on the right hand side of the engine while facing it) should be run under the supercharger intake manifold and be plugged into the nipple on your intake tube, NOT THE BACK OF THE SUPERCHARGER!!

The PCV hose (left side of engine when facing it) should connect to the back of the supercharger. I'll get some pics in a minute of my setup (with dual radium catch cans) for clarification.

Whichever one opens under high boost - thats the one I have on the intake. The other one is always open and venting vapors that you can see misting out.
That's the one I tried to put on the SC. Just bought a catch can, gonna put it in when I change my oil and probably vent to atmosphere

Here is where the breather line starts (behind the AC condenser).

That line should connect to the supplied hose from sprintex, which looks like this


From there, that line should run under the manifold and connect here.


The PCV line should run from

To the middle port on the back of the supercharger


Again my setup doesn't exactly show this path because I have dual radium catch cans on either side of the engine.
