2022+ WRX Radium Catch Cans Install

[@toyosup88]

I went with the Mishimoto catch can. Doesn't require cutting and works with the ets intake. Plus it uses nicer molded hoses instead of the straight bulk hose.

[@jmtcol5280]

Does the Mishimoto kit come with a dual can setup for both PCV/ CCV?

[@toyosup88]

@@jmtcol5280 No but you can add the radium ccv if you want. Didn’t wanna spend twice the price for both cans when the pcv is more useful.

Amazing video, love the attention to detail. Nice work on the video editing and camera angles🔥

[@jedwin4816]

I recently installed a Mishimoto single catch can on the PCV valve side of my '22 WRX. From what I read having a can on the CCV side is pretty much overkill on a stock or lightly modified car but maybe you plan to get radical with your car latter- IDK. It was a bigger job than I anticipated. Very tight space to work in and anything that can get in the way does. I'm glad I didn't have to do the CCV part of the job. That looks a lot more involved than I'd want to get into. I'll be watching to see how much vapor oil you collect in one can versus the other - I hope you do a follow up video to show us this.

[@StreetInspired1]

I will definitely do a check up video after a few thousand miles to see what collects in the cans and the differences between the ccv and pcv side

[@DarkWolfWRX]

I really do like the Radium cans. Had the dual kit on my VA as well. For the VB this time I got an opportunity to work with Perrin for their AOS. Installing and filming that install this weekend!

[@HeavyMetalWRX]

WHAT. Perrin is CHEATING on me ?! Jkjk They sent me one too but I have no idea how to install it yet. Was going through the instructions and looking at the engine bay familiarizing myself with the bits. Hurry and make your video so I know if I messed up 🤣

[@Panzerlang]

Just started to install my Radium dual-can kit and find there is nothing in the instructions to tell the difference between any of the AN fittings (they have different outer thread sizes). Well done Radium, genius move. From trying to guestimate from the pics and this video I THINK the PCV can (that fits on the brackets on the ABS unit) has the bigger-threaded one.

[@tomrakusan1179]

I had a 2016 with a stage 1. Never, ever any oil in both cans - no blow-by. Sold it at 30k miles. Now have a ‘23. Dont plan to mess with a catch can - will do fuel induction service at 30k and call it a day.

[@anthonyfierro7877]

[@pharmztko]

Amazing video, very detailed and I can clearly see everything that needs to be done. Doesn’t look difficult at all, thanks for posting 💪🏻🔥

[@BillNyeX69]

Just an update for anyone getting these. I bought the dual catch cans. I have a Perrin CAI with the heatshield. I had to cut out a little section of the heatshield for the PCV catch can for it to fit. I also have a Perrin charge pipe, and the CCV catch can is a little tricky to get the fitment. Make sure you watch the length of the hose, cause the angle at which it runs over the charge pipe will pull against the charge pipe making it touch part of the block if youre not careful. Other than that, it does fit fine. Also make sure you pay attention to the fact that he was leaving the fan out for the video, but you have to install the fan before the catch can.

[@SAVAGEcorpsman]

Is the first part of the video the pcv catch can? Can’t wait for the next install video!

[@StreetInspired1]

That's correct, the first half is the PCV Side!

[@gilbertlopez7788]

Hey I watched this video as I was installing this on mine and it is great detail. Thank you. But I didn't cut the top ccv hose all the way through and I broke off the fitting. Do you know what the exact name of the part is? I need to get a new one

[@DarkWolfWRX]

Man you got that CCV fitting off like nothing. Took me a solid 15 min of chopping away when I did my AOS 🤣

[@StreetInspired1]

When it popped off i actually thought I broke it and was super relieved to see it still intact 😂

[@DarkWolfWRX]

@@StreetInspired1 I went through the same feeling when I was removing the longer bolt in the alternator for the AOS. It SNAPPED and was then the loosest bolt head id ever felt. Luckily it was just really long and not a full thread bolt haha. Mini heart attack on that one.

[@dopewayne]

It might not be necessary but I would put hose clamps on the fittings to the catch cans where you dont have them. Might be going to the extreme one would say. I think it would complete the esthetic. I just got my wrb vb only 2 weeks old and I put 168 miles on it. Daily driving. Great video and install. It pushes me to make the purchase for these cans to maintain the engine. Indecisive because I am wondering if this voids my warranty.

[@StreetInspired1]

Radium specifies that you don't need them because of the barbed fittings and doesn't include any, but i know what you mean. You could definitely add some just because!

[@dopewayne]

​​@@StreetInspired1 would this install void warranty? Although it seems better for the engine.

[@StreetInspired1]

@@dopewayne It's highly unlikely. They would have a very hard time denying a claim because of these. In any warranty claim, if they deny warranty because of an aftermarket part, they have to prove that the aftermarket part was a direct cause of the failure (which would be almost impossible for a device as simple as a catch can)

[@donovanh5679]

Wonder if you have a video showing how to check and empty the Radium catch can oil?

[@StreetInspired1]

I do. I did it on my 2020 wrx but the process is pretty much identical to the VB! kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5nYaYare86KeLs

[@donovanh5679]

​@@StreetInspired1 Thanks for the link to your earlier video. It appears that the two 2020 WRX catch cans are installed at different locations than in the 2022+ model. For those who are not mechanically inclined, it would be great if you could make another video for the 2022+ WRX. I suspect not all technicians know how to empty them during the oil change.

[@michaelhunter8928]

Ok, i had originally thought that i was to reuse two of the 3 10mm nut, but all 3 are to be replaced with supplied nuts.

[@Hiphippohip]

Looking for help here… I got all the way to installing the ccv bracket and I’m lost because the bolts literally don’t fit under the sheet metal. I can’t thread the bolts through because they are too big to even go behind the sheet. Any tips? Has this happened to anyone else? I have a 2023 wrx.

[@fixflickss]

Thank you for the video. Correct me if I’m wrong, the bracket by the ABS at 5:23 the screws you are securing it with are the provided screws correct?

[@StreetInspired1]

Correct! These will be provided with the cans.

[@fixflickss]

Thank you, video was a big help….just got them installed, was also confused on which fittings go with which can and which hose size for which system but figured it out.

[@lucian7182]

You really only need an Aos or catch can, if you do a lot of short drives or do racing. I had a Rex that was 95 % freeway driven no oil consumption and minimal blow by. My Sti is 95 % street driven and blow by was definitly an issue prior to installing my Aos.

[@RustedCrown11]

the 22 is direct injected, so an AOS can stop the build up on the valves which can cause power loss

[@jamesharless6103]

If I'm not changing my oil myself will subaru dealership empty the cans for me during the oil change?

[@StreetInspired1]

I guess it all depends. Some of them might hut I have a feeling some wouldn't want to

[@samuellepore4216]

Question for you, getting my Intercooler back in place was tough because I cut my hoses slightly shorter than I should have. They are wrapped tight to the bottom of the Intercooler ducting. Any reason to pull off and replace the hoses? They are nearly impossible get off the barbed fittings with a razor blade down length of fitting and doing this all again sounds like a nightmare. Thanks

[@squirrelzar]

Am I crazy or did it seem like your PCV hose came right off. Been trying to get mine off for over an hour and it’s all marred up from my pliers

[@ootoodles]

Will this void my Subaru warranty?

[@ootoodles]

Just stick setup would you run just pcv setup or nothing at all since this might be overkill for stock motor

[@paulpendley3678]

I could not, for the very life of me, get that PCV hose off of the engine. Neither end would budge, not that I could get to the lower clip anyway. However, I wonder... since all you're really doing is a bypass on that short hose, and the hose is (mostly) on top of the engine, it seems like it might be possible to just cut the hose in half right there on the engine. All you'd have to do is connect the Radium hoses with their clips and you'd be off to the races without having to worry about trying to figure out how to get that hose out. Wouldn't that work?

[@fxt8324]

can you just not put the Radium hose directly to the pcv and intake side rather than cutting them ?

[@ryanlharlan]

which air intake are you going to go with? I’m still waiting on Mishimoto to hopefully release one but I have come across a ton of good reviews for the ETS coi. Love your videos bro & can’t wait for the next!

[@StreetInspired1]

I'm not too sure yet. I had an ets intake and mishimoto on my old car and liked the Mishimoto better. So I might wait until mishi comes out with theirs and then decide!

[@louisthibault555]

Wait, we need *two* catch cans? Can someone explain?

[@rjs4276]

Thank you for making this install vid Cody! I was looking forward to grabbing these Radium catch cans until I saw how the PCV side can conflicts with the ETS CAI heat shield box :( I wonder if there's a way around the issue without cutting the box... Regardless, this is an awesome product and install video!

[@StreetInspired1]

That's a bummer! I know the VA chassis had the same issue with ets intake conflicting. There may be a simple way to modify it to fit. I'm most likely going to end up getting an ETS intake, so I will be sure to show any modifications that need made when I pull the trigger on that!

[@StreetInspired1]

It actually took me longer than expected. I would say roughly 2-3 hours of course I was also filming and setting up camera and lights. And double checking radiums instructions. But I think using this video someone could do it in about an hour or 2.

[@donovanh5679]

Curiously, if oil catch cans are so beneficial & crucial to DFI cars like the Subaru 2022+ WRX, why don't car manufacturers include them as part of their original design but instead relegate them to after-market parts?

[@Kopernicus67]

Because they need to be emptied, and that interval is not the same for all drivers. Yes, some WRX owners don't want to mess with maintenance (not me). Also, in cold climates you do risk condensation and ice in there that can mess up the PCV system if it is not maintained.

@jaypee024 I feel like all manufacturers recommend removing the battery connections before doing anything on the car. I almost never do unless it's something with a lot of wiring. There is nothing to be worried about.

[@Panzerlang]

So if the can gets full enough to trigger the fluid-lock, the crankcase can no longer vent its pressure? At all? Or is there a bypass that'll allow it to vent into the intake?

[@StreetInspired1]

Bypass!

[@Panzerlang]

@@StreetInspired1 Thanks dude. :)

[@Christosan88]

Now I'm curios how easy it is to service these cans

[@StreetInspired1]

Very easy. You just unscrew the bottom of the can and dump it out. It takes less than 2 minutes. The one underneath the intake duct is a tighter area, and you'll have to remove the two clips and take off the intake duct, but it's not bad at all to service themA

[@AntonioHernandez-bp3mx]

That's strange mine only has 2 bolts on the driver side

[@3twenty05]

Man, thanks for making these videos for us. I've been wanting to put a catch on sooner rather than later. I was wondering if the pvc side can would be in the way of an aftermarket intake though🤔 what's your thoughts on this?

[@StreetInspired1]

I believe there were fitment issues with certain aftermarket intakes on the VA Chassis kit. Some worked and some needed minor modification. It's likely that could also be an issue on this generation. However, I'd be willing to bet if there were fitment issues, it wouldn't be super hard to combat them.

Even if condensation makes its way into the can it will get trapped and won't get out. Here in Pennsylvania it gets pretty cold for like 6 months of the year.
