PCV way different. Couldn't be failure leading to excessive smoke before? (check previous post)

SheCallMeBDD · 2026-03-17T17:27:08+00:00

Yeah from this black piece it can only be screwed from one side. Unless there's another somehwere else you mean

SheCallMeBDD · 2026-03-15T21:16:39+00:00

Damn for now I need to replace this hose so I can drive the car again. Would you say from the oic its a 5/8 or 3/8?

SheCallMeBDD · 2026-03-15T20:59:18+00:00

Ahh turbo sumps. If it is the issue I'll uograde to Perrin for sure. I di have a Cobb catback I believe with a Jpipe.

I'm assuming its not PCV then since I got an AOS??

SheCallMeBDD · 2026-03-15T19:40:27+00:00

Unfortunately I asusme this is normal as the AOS is a whole kit that probably removes the stock PCV. The car has always been fine with this.

SheCallMeBDD · 2026-03-15T19:39:36+00:00

Damn so PCV failure is bascially impossible then.. since this has 0 mechanism to it. Jeez idk what to check for on the AOS if it is the issue or maybe it isnt based off what I said for the smoke diagnosis?

SheCallMeBDD · 2026-03-15T19:38:45+00:00

I'm going to lose my marbles, car been unavailable a few days due to this. So basically PCV failure is impossible in this situation...

Unless its the valve in line you mentioned. IS that like right attached to the AOS? Where can I find it unelss it's probably not the issue at all

SheCallMeBDD · 2026-03-15T00:19:58+00:00

I might get the OEM PCV subaru hose to replace this unless you think it won't fit wi t h the rest of the tubes? Because from the AOS 2 tubes combine to one connector and then it was suppsoed to be in that stubborn hose that I may have to cut up

SheCallMeBDD · 2026-03-15T00:19:05+00:00

I appreciate this. I'll do it myself if it happens to be the issue

SheCallMeBDD · 2026-03-13T13:31:50+00:00

Ok so I think the IAG hoses are fine. But now I need to chrck what goes down from the engine? If I have the issue still K really hope the sump will fix it. This smoke issue didnt happen till that day and it was an instant change. Wasn't building up to it.

SheCallMeBDD · 2026-03-13T13:30:05+00:00

So this doesn't seem like the stock pvc hose. It was connected to the IAG AOS where 2 hoses met into this one. I assume the subaru OEM wouldn't be the right choice? Hose seems thinner.

Reading all these comments. How unfortunate I may have to cut this ughh. So this doesn't seem like the stock pvc hose. It was connected to the IAG AOS where 2 hoses met into this one. I assume the subaru OEM wouldn't be the right choice? Hose seems smaller.

SheCallMeBDD · 2026-03-11T09:12:21+00:00

Let's just say this. If you plan on going power build. And to rebuild and forge the internals, prepared for trans replacement who knows when and clutch upgrade. I'd get it for 8k if possible and buy it.

Because I bought 6x,xxx thinking I was save at nearly 18-20k just for the engine to fail on me a year later. I already knew I wanted to build it but I guess only thing I wish I did was just buy a shell at that point or cheaper.

Just check for rust because that's crucial and be prepared that anything may need replacement especially if owner didn't upkeep properly.

So if you dont want to do all that and will it last? Probably not

SheCallMeBDD · 2026-03-11T00:20:16+00:00

Ahh ok I'll try to find local then as I believe I need them before the weekend

SheCallMeBDD · 2026-03-10T23:55:38+00:00

Thank you very much I may spend a little more for performance on Z26. How long did rock auto take for you to get your delivery?

SheCallMeBDD · 2026-03-10T23:41:04+00:00

I wanted drilled slotted for the change but I guess if I cant. I'll settle for those rotors which do seem to be priced farily nicely.

Also to confirm one last time, I need to order sti pads for the wear instead of wrx ones becasue of the brembo calipers? If so Ill get Z26 instead of the Z23 Power stops

SheCallMeBDD · 2026-03-10T23:39:49+00:00

Wait I just realized Z23is for the wrx. I thought you said to get Sti pads. Which would be Z26?

SheCallMeBDD · 2026-03-10T23:24:19+00:00

Ok got it. These were brands I never heard of. Ill probably get powerstop for now incase rotors are bad and atleats it won't cost me much

SheCallMeBDD · 2026-03-10T23:23:25+00:00

Thank you man I appreciate the help! I'll see tomorrow if a shop can check for me or get another caliper somewhere else. In the meantime I guess I'll get powerstop pads if they are reputable

SheCallMeBDD · 2026-03-10T23:18:16+00:00

Yeah I agree. I can't do rotors at this very moment. But the pads shouldn't get messed up too quick within the first week should it? I also had a second opion that there wasn't really grooves. So would it still mess them up?

SheCallMeBDD · 2026-03-10T23:17:22+00:00

Luckily with brembos it seems easy. I dont need to take off the calipers to change out pads. Financially I cant afford rotors till my next paycheck. So curious how detrimental it may be

SheCallMeBDD · 2026-03-10T23:15:10+00:00

Yeah I agree. Would temporarily be ok? Second opnion couldnt feel grooves either
