Does the Catch Can Kit for VA WRX models fit the WRX STI?

No. HPS lists part number 860-007 for the 2015-2021 Subaru WRX with the 2.0L FA20F turbo engine only. The WRX STI of the same years is not on the application list for this kit, so STI owners should look for the HPS kit listed for that car instead.

Does the kit fit both manual and CVT cars?

Yes. HPS lists the kit for 2015-2021 WRX models with the 6-speed manual and with the CVT, across the Base, Limited, Sport, Sport-tech and other trims HPS names. The transmission does not change which catch can kit HPS specifies for the 2.0L WRX.

Why does a direct-injected WRX benefit from a catch can?

HPS states that intake valve carbon buildup is a critical issue on direct-injected engines such as the FA20F. The Catch Can Kit for VA WRX models filters oil and water vapor out of the PCV system before it reaches the intake, which HPS says prevents carbon buildup and octane-lowering contamination.

How is the can drained?

A screw-on anodized aluminum dipstick shows the fluid level, and the billet can holds up to 5 fluid ounces. When the level rises, the 14mm hex base allows draining with a standard wrench or socket. Drain intervals depend on how the WRX is driven, so checking the dipstick regularly is the safest routine.

What hoses and fittings come with the kit?

HPS supplies -6 AN hoses and fittings with the kit, along with a custom-designed powder-coated steel bracket and the mounting hardware. HPS describes the setup as leakproof and the bracket as a secure, factory-fit installation, so no extra plumbing needs to be bought before installing the kit on the WRX.

Description

HPS Aluminum Oil Catch Can Kit for VA Subaru WRX 2.0L Turbo

HPS’s Aluminum Oil Catch Can Kit for VA Subaru WRX 2.0L Turbo pulls oil and water vapor out of the PCV system on the direct-injected FA20F, an engine type where HPS singles out intake valve carbon buildup as a critical issue. The billet can uses internal baffles and diverters, holds 5 fluid ounces and rides on a custom powder-coated steel bracket with -6 AN lines. HPS lists it for 2015-2021 WRX models with the 6-speed manual or CVT, and it makes most sense on a car its owner means to keep.

Design and Performance

HPS makes two claims for the can: octane-lowering oil vapor stays out of the intake, and the valves of a direct-injected engine stay cleaner. Neither shows up on a dyno sheet, and the kit adds no power to a healthy WRX. The one-piece billet body, which HPS calls leak-proof, suits an owner who would rather drain a can now and then than live with heavy valve deposits later.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
