As far as i know, Subaru have stopped selling it due to it being harmful to the atmosphere (apparently).

marcs_sp20 · 04-08-2010, 01:31 PM

Anyone wanna have a guess as to how much my car would be worth with all the mods & side damage repaired?

No I aint selling, just wondering

mkid · 04-08-2010, 01:36 PM

13000????

70NYD · 04-08-2010, 02:00 PM

imma say 15000+ easy

Rupewrecht · 04-08-2010, 02:04 PM

Not much more than a stock one of similar age and condition. Mods are worth very little.

Brisbane_boy · 04-08-2010, 05:39 PM

tbh i reccon u would be lucky to get 10k.

on another note, does anybody know witch hose from the intake manifold connects to a oil catch can?
(i think i know ill just get a pic to confirm.)

Brisbane_boy · 04-08-2010, 05:49 PM

whoops, dw i found the right 1

02-KQ-LASR · 04-08-2010, 07:06 PM

id expect to only get like 10 or 11 for mine, if im lucky.
mods do nothing for the price, as rupe said.

marcs_sp20 · 04-08-2010, 07:20 PM

Yeah I figured 10k, prolly get more if I parted the car

And again, I aint selling the car!

Brisbane_boy · 04-08-2010, 07:45 PM

Hey guys,
Im installing a catch can and found this on mazdas247.
If i connect my catch can to the same nozzels as this guy will be right?
Obviously his has got a pod letting preassure go, where as mine is air tight.?

phildough · 04-08-2010, 07:58 PM

Usually modifications make a car more desirable to a much smaller market than stock making them harder to sell and worth the same or a little more than a standard model.
Also a modified car is also a good sign that the car has been driven harder than normal which also lessens its value.
When my car was a few years old I took it back to Mazda and enquired about trading it on a new 3 and was told that the would give me a better trade in if I put the stock rims and exhaust back on as it made the car a lot easier to sell.

I'm intending to place mine between the valve cover and the pipe leading from the air cleaner to the throttle body. If I had a turbo it'd be between the valve cover and the pipe leading from the air cleaner to the turbo.

Read the last 3-odd pages of that thread. There is a discussion on what the correct way to do the hoses is. The way it is pictured is not correct but shouldn't do any harm.

You will need to some form of vacuum to help pull the gases and oil from the valve cover. This is normally done with the pipe coming off the air intake pipe. The photo of your setup is not clear as to how yours is set up.

Brisbane_boy · 05-08-2010, 04:37 PM

Cheers for the info orion, unfortinitly i installed it before reading your post.
Iv read that thread and cannot understand where the pipes are suppost to lead to??
Here are some pic of what iv done (incorrectly). are there any pics to show where the hoses should go?

mynameisdaniel · 05-08-2010, 05:08 PM

what exactly does this catch can thing do?

catches excessive "blow by" (sump oil) that would otherwise end up in IC piping; turbo inlet pipe or, in an N/A application, simply catches spent sump oil that is diverted into engine via pcv line & returns to inlet manifold through to throttle body & be burnt along with fuel/air into combustion cylinders

In a nut shell engines create posative preasure inside them and this pressure needs to get out. This pressure also contains small amounts of oil which is considered polution so it can't just be vented to the atmosphere. Instead it exits through the PCV valve and the breather tube into the intake system where it's burnt in the combustion process.
The PCV valve vents into the inlet manifold, and as far as I'm concerned causes no harm, while the breather tube vents into the pipe leading to the throttle body, VICS butterflies or turbo and they really don't need to be caked in oil.
The catch can basicly uses gravity to remove oil from the air moving through it so the intake bits doesn't get caked in oil.

project.r.racing · 05-08-2010, 06:50 PM

to me that set up does not look right.

there is no need for it to be attached to the pcv valve.

it should be between the head breather and intake piping.

Brisbane_boy · 05-08-2010, 07:41 PM

by intake pipeing do u mean the nozzel thats on the pipe between the AFM and the throttle body?

Im trying to figuar out witch pipe is the intake pipeing?

project.r.racing · 05-08-2010, 07:57 PM

yes between afm and tb.
