Hi all,

Hope someone can help.

I fitted my oil catch can a few months ago with help from all the various threads on Scoobynet.

However, I was curious to see that after 1000 miles there seemed to be no sign of anything in the viewing tube of the catch can.

So I opened it up to see that there wasn't a drop of oil insight.

So this has lead me to think that a) the engine is really good and clean anyway, hence no oil in the oil catch tank OR b) I have plumbed it all up wrong.

So here are some pictures of teh set up.

you can see the oil catch can with 3 pipes coming out of it. the left one goes under the car to the sub frame as a vent to atmosphere. I'm happy with this one

The middle (or second pipe) connects to the original black rail that goes to the left and right rocker cover. I have coonect the stainless pipe to this and bunged up the original black pipe to the air inlet. So I'm pretty happy about this one too.

The one I'm a bit concerned about is the block breather, as can be seen by the last picture below. The picture shows it in standard from. What i have done is removed the pipe with red on and bunged this up, this goes to the air inlet. I have then attached the stainless pipe from the catch can in it's place. The pipe with the blue on has stayed as is, this appears to go to the inlet manifold.
So I have a pipe coming from here now to the catch tank.

Can Anyone confirm or deny that this is correct.,

And if it is correct why do i see no oil.

And for info it's a MY03 WRX with 16,000 miles.

Thanks indvance.

Looks correct to me. Where did you get the ss pipe from?

Are you running on stock boost? If yes, maybe thats why there is not enough pressure. Or maybe it has cought oil and is traped on the piping on the way to ur tank.

BTW where did u get your lovely braided pipes from and how much?
And did u modify ur oil catch tank? mine one only has 2 pipe inlets!!!

I get very little oil in mine (just a film) but there's always a bit of water from condensation. However, I've plugged the valve under the throttle body so there's no return back into the engine - maybe that explains it.
