I'd be willing to purposefully drop oil on my heat shield in the amount that will come from my catchcans.

I tend to agree, just letting you know what a tuner told me.

i've had to drain my catch cans after 2 days of hard solo 1 and a solo 2. i got about 1/4 cup out. but i usualy don't get anything with street driving or the weekend fun solo 2.

i think most of the oil was out the PCV.

Hey, thanks very much. You are why I think Impreza owners/enthusiasts are so great.

On my intake manifold, I have a PCV underneath the intake manifold as well. In stock form, it's what is Y'd into the crankcase breather (with the other 'limb' of the Y going back into the intake. (see diagram)

Then generally underneath that, but on top of the crankcase, is another breather which I'm uncertain how it's routed. (see pic - the one on the top center of the block. The Y is obviously on top of the other.)

On your "modified" pic, it's obvious that one of those two mysterious sources are going to a catchcan, but I can't tell which one.

Thanks again.

One question for you guys... I have a perrin fmic, which takes the two systems and tee's them into each other.... in this senario, will one catch can work ok?

any advise, no real way to seperate then again, as the 3'' inlet hose is lacking space for the inlet...

any advice?

Have you spoken to Jeff Perrin?

The compare photos with the colors really helped. The whole thread made great sense and is just what I needed. Those aluminum cans are really nice but they went up in price so I took a different tack. I used an inline fuel filter for the two side vents, and installed a catch can for the the PCV line. I have comfirmed elsewhere that you are correct that most of the oil comes thru it. I used your hose routing and examples for connections. For the can I used a air line dryer. I can watch the oil collect in it's clear polycarbonate bowl. Maybe I will upgrade to the aluminun ones someday. Installed today. Next I will rinse out my intercooler for the LAST time.
