Actually I wound up re-installing it like the picture at the beginning of the thread after I realized the plastic piece I used to adapt to the PCV was melting and my car threw a code.

The only reason I bothered was because I had already spent the $ on the can, but honestly it hasn't accumulated any oil at all.

Thanks!

You started this thread a year ago and it still hasn't accumulated anything?
Safe to say its just for show? Would you recommend it? Does this part do anything apart from look nice?

There is some oil in the tubing and the steel wool in the can is probably pretty oily but no accumulation showing in the indicator tube. My intake manifold is probably cleaner than it would be.
It is probably a show piece unless you go FI. If you are going to that expense I'd probably get an AOS.

I am a subaru technician with a cusco catch can installed on my brz. I have followed this routing issue since this catch can and brz was availiable and cusco providing the wrong install instructions. I originally installed it myself following cusco instructions and was looking at it the install within the next week and determined it was useless in that configuration. The picture in the first post is the correct routing. I had it configured as posted here for 36000kms on my 13 brz and it is FUNCTIONAL. The FA20 doesnt use any oil to begin with, when the piston rings are broken in correctly, especially through crankcase vapor. In total it only filled up approx. 1 inch up the sight tube after 36k but that car never used even 50ml of oil between my 8k oil change interval, that including autocross and spirited driving weekly. I traded that car and now have the can installed on my 15 aozora. I would not remove the pcv valve though. Crankcase pressure helps control engine oil foaming and applying intake manifold vacuum through the catch can and to the engine block will only encourage vapors been drawn out of the engine. Since the cusco provided hose has a large id. I used a 1' piece of 3/8 fuel line , inserted it in the cusco hose, then slid onto the pcv valve and clamped. This setup has worked perfect for myself.

So what is the correct way to hook it up?

Any pic diagram plz

[pepe]

it may be that the two types are used? one for air and one for oil? and here cause confusion?
Here we talk about two types of installation

and I think are the two facilities that you speak ...

we must make the two options?

[wbradley]

The original diagram is the correct install. As noted by conekiller, you need to stick a 1" long piece of 3/8" fuel line hose into the Cusco supplied hose to fit on the PCV valve nipple.

This is the diagram to follow?



and the question of another circuit for "air"?

[wbradley]

Sorry Im not sure what you are asking, but the diagram shows the correct installation. I am not aware of the need for another circuit for air, as you say. This is a closed system, no vent to atmosphere. No check engine light will result.

ok thanzs!
what is the difference between vertical and horizontal cusco system?
