I have this kit. The hoses are not good quality. They look great and well made but i installed it approximately a year ago and i consistantly get a oil/ fuel smell in the car since i did the install. I checked all the connections multiple times. it seems like the fuel/ oil on the pcv hose bleeds right through the hose. It always has a oil film on the entire hose and after doing a little research on forums, i found out i am not the only one with this same issue. I recommend reading up on this. "Oil Smell" associated with mishimoto kits before spending good money on this.
It sounds like you may have picked up one of our older kits. The kit used to come with silicone lines that were prone to this when the inner oil resistant layers would fail. We did however discontinue these some time ago and replaced them with molded rubber line. Please feel free to contact us at support@mishimoto.com and we would be happy to warranty the hoses for you.
@@mishimoto I just installed the PCV side. The hoses included were black without Mishimoto markings. Are these from the updated rubber version? Please let me know. Also, the hoses were too tight at the PCV valve and intake manifold ports, so I had to wrestle quite a bit for the hoses to slide on. It could be that mine is a 2020 WRX, not sure if they changed the design.
@@mishimoto I can't see anything on offer from mishimotos website for the 2015+ STI's. I was told by a mishimoto rep that the 3 port was not recommended for the STI, so I imagines a 2 catch can system would be the way? Other than the supplied fittings would I be able to set up a 2 catch can set up for the 2015+ STI's?
The dual system will only fit up to 2016 models, however we do offer a PCV side that will fit your model year, the CCV is the only side we don't currently offer for your year.
I have a question about your kit. Does it contain a check valve from the intake manifold to the catch can? I ask because in boost you would be pressurizing the catch can with this set up. I have ran a catch can in a previous turbocharged car and ran into the issue but fixed it with a dual check valve set up, using the factory PVC valve and secondary one at the manifold.
Hey tehtorphbegger . Great question. There are quite a few ways to go about draining your catch cans. There is a port on the bottom that can be removed for draining simply by removing it. These ports on the bottom also function with our drain kit MMBCC-DRAIN-02. The lid of the catch cans is also removable. So you could simply unscrew and empty that way as well.
I just ordered this kit for my 2018 qrc because your website says this also fits it. This is true correct? Just want to make sure since I seen a comment saying otherwise but was years old
The full kit will not fit the 2018 model. We offer just a PCV side that would work for your vehicle but the CCV side is not compatible with the later model cars.
Hey Luke, this kit was designed for the 15-16 models. Feel free to reach out to our team at Support@Mishimoto.com or by calling 302-762-4501 Mon-Fri 9A-5P EST and we'd be happy to help troubleshoot your setup.
Hey Troy. I believe this change was made simply to make the can easier to access. I'm reaching out to the engineering team for confirmation that there was no other reasoning for this change. I'll follow up when I hear back!
Hey Troy. Product group was kind enough to get right back to me on this one. The location of the PCV can was changed to accommodate for 2016 models with eyesight. The hoses that come with this kit are meant to function with a 3/8ths barb fitting.
Hey Joseph. Catch can's really are a tough product to say what is and isn't normal. The residue that the cans collect can vary largely from 2 different vehicles in the exact same conditions. During our testing, some vehicles would fill the PCV can much quicker than the CCV can and other vehicles were the direct opposite. In my experience, gas vapors are much more likely to collect during colder weather. I wish I had a more rock solid answer for you in the scenario.
Arthur Archer yes sir, but I have the 1st gen version of this kit. If I could post pictures I would. With only 1 modification to the larger bracket ( with the M on it ) everything works great.
Hey flareboy41! This will not void your warranty. Check out the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act - in a nutshell, the dealer/manufacturer would have to prove that the part in question is what caused the failure. So if you installed our catch can, and then a few months later your OEM radiator started leaking from an end tank, your dealer must honor your warranty, as the aftermarket part did not influence the leak.
I have a 2017, and bought this kit. I can say that the line from the block to the turbo doesn't have spring hose clamps on both ends. It looks like a clamp that's crimped on on both ends. Id like to have a better video on how to remove both sides...
maxst2 i think you're talking about an ear style clip, you just cut off the top of the ears and then throw away the clip after as it is not reuse able. Did you install this already? Im thinking about buying one for my 17
Does this call for lube? Instructions doesnt say so but had to absolutely man handle the can to get hoses on 🥴
Not particularly, but a bit of lube won't hurt the installation.
I installed only the PCV side of it and my car stalls in lower rpms and it became sluggish. Would love if you had a suggestion to fix this issue
This isn't something we have seen before. We would suggest contacting us at support@mishimoto.com and the team will be happy to look into this.

Does this work with the STI also?
This catch can kit would not be compatible with the STI as they are different engines

No check valve is present in the system, we found this to not be an issue during the testing of the system.
Will this fit a 2016 forester xt?
This catch can kit would not be compatible with the Forester XT. We unfortunately do not currently offer a direct fit kit for your vehicle.
Great video. I'm excited to get these. How exactly do you drain them once they are installed?

@@mishimoto I have one of the year 2019, I bought the same one from the photo and managed to install the 2 catch can, will it affect something?
The hose that leads from the CCV to the turbo inlet on the 2018 has a sensor attached to it. Any idea what I’m suppose to do about that? Thanks

why did the location of the pcv can change? what are the inner diameter of the hoses if i wanted to run braided lines?

On my 2018 fxt the pvc side of the catch can system is catching more gas than oil. Is that normal?

Mishimoto Automotive thanks that helps, its 25 degrees where I am 👍🏾
You got this kit on you FXT?
Arthur Archer yes sir, but I have the 1st gen version of this kit. If I could post pictures I would. With only 1 modification to the larger bracket ( with the M on it ) everything works great.
I have a 2016 fxt. Possible to do an installation video with 2014-2018 Subaru Forester turbo?
would i need a tune after installing??
Hey! No you will not need a tune after installing our 2015-2016 Subaru WRX Baffled Oil Catch Can System
Would it have cost subaru $600 a pop to make their engines port and direct injection and avoid the issue altogether??

Negative. I was just thinking about getting some male to male hose splice connectors and just tapping the lines.
maxst2 i did that on my 2018 fxt and it worked
Nope. This is not for everyone very user unfriendly. Even I that enjoy working on my car would not want to deal with this headache.
😲😲, That’s a big job. I’ll get a mechanic to install one for me
Would this be the same process for a 2019 WRX?
For the most part, yes.
@@mishimotookay I ordered the PCV side only so a better question is will it be the same process for the PCV side on my 19 WRX
will this also fit the 2016 Subaru WRX STI?
Unfortunately, this is not compatible with the STI models. Sorry!
