I'm looking to do this mod but I'm wondering if anyone knows the correct hose diameter for the tubing on the 09. I think it's 3/8" but not positive and I want to be sure before I buy the filter.

Always heard that this was a popular and necessary mod when forced induction is added or boost is increased above stock levels. I'll just stick with injector cleaner once every 5k miles and 3m throttle plate cleaner, should the need ever arise.

Thank you Ogredude. I was able to complete this using your DIY.
Looks a little different, but same thing. Cost me about $25 :)

I don't remember but the inside diameter was fitted for 3/8". It was from a left over hose.

After reading this whole thread I'm still left confused.

from factory ALL manufacturers have a very tiny amount of oil fed to the intake system.

and you guys are trying to collect it before it gets there?

I understand the idea of preventing extra oil from burning in your combustion process, and keeping this extra oil off of your valves, particularly if it's about time to change your oil and it's got an amount of junk in it that you'd prefer not to get into your intake or on your valves.

but has anyone honestly considered WHY the manufacturer's ALL do this? they want your engine to be reliable (nearly) as much as you do, as well as FE. They must have some reason for creating this line and doing this. The only reasons I can think of is the air intake is metal right? metal corrodes. Corrosion prevents airflow, and airflow over corrosion passes right into your engine. now your engine is steadily eating rust (or oxidation, which the engine would eat to a much lessor degree).

also I can imagine that this oil many of you are deciding to prevent from going into your engine is lubricating your valve and valve seats, so that they create a decent seal when closed and last longer then bare metal hitting metal. It's very possible I'm wrong, and I'd love to believe that this awesomely cheap mod is good for my engine and it's longevity, however I cannot do so without having the above statements properly debunked.

On my Supra, I just vented the PCV to atmosphere. What's the point in spending money on a catch can?

You let your Supra get all grimy from blow by? After an hour of running the RX7, that crap is everywhere when I have a leak on the vent hose.

Well I had a metal braided hose running from the vents down to the oil drain plug, I never had problems with leaks. I thought it looked kinda cool like that.

Friend of mine did the same thing with his Corolla SR5, still working great on his car.

^^^i admit... on my budget crx and first time doing a piece by piece turbo setup i ran a hose off my valve cover running under the car.. ran great for two years.. til i got into autocross and turbo+street tires=zero grip.. took it off and sold it. im sorry mother nature.. i was a dumbass..

i remember the first time i ran my crx full boost without a hose on the valve cover just to test drive it.. when i hit about 6k rpm oil shot under my hood and all over passenger side windshield.. my ass was so tight when that happend..

Sorry for the resurrection of an old thread, but has anyone ever thrown any codes with a catch can? I just did this, I used the Husky filter from Home Depot, and just got a P0171 code. The only difference is I used another short section of hose from the PCV valve to the Husky filter, instead of cutting the stock hose. Could that be the problem? I'm sure all of the fitting are tight, and there are no leaks....
Sorry about the pic quality, it's taken from my phone.

I would say that the hose is collapsing under hard throttle, setting off the code. Check the hose under part/full throttle to verify this.

I have a Mazda MPV van that has a notorious problem with a inferior pcv hose connection and throws a similar code!
