Awesome! Makes me really glad that I have an '06 donor. Thanks!
The service manual still shows an air sensor in the one valve but its just a backup or something. There's a large thread on nasioc about it and consensus was 06 doesn't matter, 07 you can cut the sensor off the rest of the valve and ditch everything but the sensor.

Where are you guys finding the service manuals for these cars....
Ok just wondering. Ive seen the ken gilbert site. Just wondering if there was another source out there.
How many sources do you need? I downloaded the entire service manual for my '04 donor from that site. For free. The fact that each chapter is in an individual pdf IS kind of a nuisance, though. You'll need to set a little time aside if you want to print the thing. But the price is certainly right.
I was just wondering if there was anything else out there. Computer doesn't like me and wont let me save the pdf file for the 02. Oh well, i was able to download and save the 06 manual for my dd wrx. Current donor is the 02. I was looking for a dvd copy if there was one available thats all. I hope this answers your question. The price is perfect and the only other thing we need now is the actual assembly manual.
Made prototype #2. I like it much better. It's shorter, but with a bigger diameter cap. The o-ring compresses axially now so there's little resistance until the o-ring bottoms out. The black part is plastic since it's just a test piece (didn't even finish the flange). I learned how to program and cut threads on the CNC, so that eliminates another issue I had with the threads not always starting straight.

I'm looking for something similar but it needs to accept an OEM cap so I can use the AOS.
I don't suppose you want to start over?
A well stocked beverage fridge is the key to any successful project.
Nope. Lol. I don't have a tap big enough (M42 IIRC) which is why I went to the smaller M24. Don't have internal threading tools either for the CNC or manual lathe.

Count me in. Did you ever finalize your alternator mount as well?
same here
Let me in on that
I know of someone else who makes them for $80, so definitely not over $80. I'll have to add up times and material costs to see what makes it worth it. It would come with the stainless steel cap screws too. I think all WRX are the same, but regular impreza are slightly different. I'll have to contact FFR too to see about milling an 818 logo on the top of the cap. Not sure if it's copyrighted or trademarked and don't want to infringe on them even if it isn't legally protected but they don't want me to.
lol. Not yet. It's one of those things where it's close enough to being done that I temporarily lost interest. By that I mean my wife keeps asking me when I'm going to finish the patio.

I hear ya on time, put it this way, you make me two and I will make you a custom dp/ exhaust even trade if not to elaborate.
We could work that out. I know what I want it to look like, not sure if it'll fit with the trans. I'll have to see.

That is a very nice piece, it seems to solve the problem of adding oil to the engine. On that note, is the stock fill tube reversible so that it faces the rear?
I was gonna ask if you could do the 818 on the cap. Glad you had it in mind. Hope you can....

That is a fine machine job. & good idea, Let me know
I am interested as well, 818 on it would be a big +
Great work

I used a metal cap on my plastic filler tube for years, and it did get uncomfortably warm. I'm sure with a metal/metal/metal contact it'll get rather hot. Nothing a rag over your hand can't fix if you don't want to be in the 818 club permanently. haha. I could make the tops from Titanium, but I'd have to buy a special tap that would likely cost me $500. Plastic could be done too, but that isn't much fun.

Who do I make the check out to this time
what about a Delrin cap? Delrin is super cheap and your tools should have no problem cutting it.
A block big enough to do several caps is like $10 on ebay.
A well stocked beverage fridge is the key to any successful project.
Cannot this AOS be done somewhere else? I know it is important just for detonation, not to mention having a clean induction system, but MORE tubes on the top is just messy.
I use a clear tube on my roadster so I can see what comes up, but I don't have a turbo or intercooler. A catch-can is just another item to clutter the engine bay. OR perhaps a dry sump $ystem !
He probably has the grimmspeed AOS which screws into the stock oil fill tube for easy installation and a somewhat clean look.
