Hey Kevin - I installed that AOS over the weekend, with the oil drain back and coolant kits. Fairly straight forward, a bit of a tricky one with the coolant line from the throttle body. Your video was really helpful with the AOS installation, and you same me a TON of headache with the air conditioning compressor removal. Thank you!
I can't believe that upper hose didn't even have a clamp on it, wierd. I would clamp all those new hoses bro, not with cable ties either lol. Get some nice looking clamps on there. Great video, still waiting for my 86 to arrive ...
I recommend stapling some insulation up and screwing some drywall in. Will make the worlds difference with warmth of course if you have the extra funds to do so. Loving the new vids bro. I no longer have a Subaru but you were the first face I saw joining the Subaru community and were very helpful. It’s great you’re staying around and will be happy to see you grow👍
Love this was wondering about the drain back kit. Thanks again for making some of the best install videos out there. I said it before but you could make training videos for automotive tech vids.
Could you please do a video on what the best Turbo kit out is or rank the different kits cus I definitely want to Turbo mine but don't know what's out there also a brake kit for the car what fits etc
My thought is.... The car is dual injected. Just let the blowby get sucked up. The port injectors will wash it all clean. No harm done. If adding forced induction maybe I would consider it, but probably not. Lol
The oil can still lower the octane and cause detonation which means you're not getting the most performance, but maybe I'm just future proofing for something that may or may not be coming haha
Hey Kevin, how’s the airbag light situation coming along? I have aftermarket seats in myself and have yet to figure out the passenger side. Anyway love the vids !
Hey Kevin, hope all is well! Quick question, do you think that this would be a worth it investment for a daily driver/ occasional track run? I daily my gr86 and maybe 3 times a year track driven. What do you think?
Personally I think so, especially if you get the drain back kit and coolant add on because it's essentially maintenance free and you don't have to do anything to it. It's not that expensive, it's easy to install. For me it was a no brainer.
I've got an oil pressure sensor + gauge coming from iiR that I think is a nice compromise for dropping the oil pan and scratching around looking for RTV haha. If I ever experience oil starvation I'll know.
Great video Kevin. Thanks man. Please excuse my ignorance. I've always used mechanics gloves when working on my cars. So I don't swear as much when wrench slips and I punch the block. (Once was enough lol.) I'm curious as to why you're using latex gloves. I see you're very intentional how you go about things. Why those gloves?
I wear mechanics gloves from time to time as well, but because mechanics gloves are on the thicker side you lose some of the finer movements when you have them on. With the latex gloves I can be very precise and get into tight spots.
Love how these new videos are coming out. Very warm, very cozy, and overall chill vibes. Keep it up!
Glad you're enjoying them! Thanks for watching!!
@@KevinVo They're a lot more relatable, to be honest. We don't have lifts and shops, so we struggle to mod our cars exactly like this.
A man with his GR86 in his not too big or not too small garage, tastefully modifying away his GR86 and making quality videos.
I was always wondering if anyone else had those lines on their windows when it rains or when it’s cold and your video just answered that question.
It's the felt guides that are in the door. No way around it really.
I'll never have cause to do this myself but I still watched the whole vid. Love a well shot how-to.
Glad to hear you enjoyed it!
Damn loving the music vibe! Has that Gran Tursimo garage mode while choosing you car to race with! 😂
I'm loving the chill vibes!
I probably missed a few vids, but I'm glad to see ya picked yourself up and you're back making vids for the 86/brz platform.
Woo!
What a crazy amount of effort for this install
finally ive been waiting for an AOS for this gen!
That is way fancier than the regular catch cans that we have in our other cars. Nice!
It's a really well designed piece!
So you wouldn’t need a catch can anymore if you get this?
Hey Kevin - I installed that AOS over the weekend, with the oil drain back and coolant kits. Fairly straight forward, a bit of a tricky one with the coolant line from the throttle body. Your video was really helpful with the AOS installation, and you same me a TON of headache with the air conditioning compressor removal. Thank you!
How has it been holding up? Does it have any actual effect?
Good thing spring is almost here, so u would need the heater anymore.
Spring is a long ways away for me! haha but I'll get through it!
Great information. I saw this after the Perrin video and ordered the AOS from there.
Great vid keep knocking it out of the park
Thank you!!

Keep 'em coming Kev. Good to see you still giving us great content!

Appreciate your support! Will be looking into some insulation soon!
Ready for a track day now
Looks great and the importance of an AOS is often overlooked! Damn, if that isn't a lot of work, though!. Excellent video, love these! 👍
Honestly, if I didn't have to film the process this probably could've been done in an hour or two! Not to bad at all!
This is great content, it's like having chris fix but specific to my car!!
Nice vid! Thanks for all the help with first gen 86 installs.
Thanks for watching! Will be continue to do 1st gen installs on the FRS when I can!
Thank you for posting. I love the content though I don't have an 86 yet!
Thank you for watching! Hope you can get one soon!!
Nice! I hope to do one of these and a jackson racing oil cooler eventually
Highly recommend! Both great products!
What he said! Great content and I should be getting my 2023 GR86 allocation call any day now (put down the deposit in October)
Also, I see the value in terms of preventative mantinance, but what are your thoughts on this voiding warranty?
If you're worried about voiding your warranty, my opinion would be just to get the car, drive it, and do aesthetic mods until the warranty is up.
Don’t stop making content bro ❤
Didn't know I needed this now
I've been noticing some seepage at the drain back kit on mine. Keep an eye out and make sure those zip ties are tight!
Where exactly on the drain back kit? I'll keep an eye on it.
@Kevin Vo, right where the fitting on the bottom screws in. Think I'm going to take it out, check all the connections, and retape them.
Love this was wondering about the drain back kit. Thanks again for making some of the best install videos out there. I said it before but you could make training videos for automotive tech vids.
Same great content, different location 😉
Thanks for your support!
Well explained, thanks Kev! Keep them coming.
Thanks, will do!
Ran the COBB AOS on my 2020 WRX. I thought Toyota direct port injection motors had injectors above the valves to prevent the gum up?
Still great content, keep it up man
Could you please do a video on what the best Turbo kit out is or rank the different kits cus I definitely want to Turbo mine but don't know what's out there also a brake kit for the car what fits etc

Exactly
The oil can still lower the octane and cause detonation which means you're not getting the most performance, but maybe I'm just future proofing for something that may or may not be coming haha
Finally catching up on your videos! Keep up the great work! Still waiting on the video where you rip off the FT stickers from the FRS lol.
The FRS will be getting some much needed love soon enough! haha
Hey Great Vid! If you don't mind me asking...what camera are you using? Your videos look so clean.
More good content as usual!
I just hit ice and totaled my 23’ 86. I Really miss it
Will you be getting the JDM TRD GR Rear V trunk chassis brace for your car?
Hey Kevin, how’s the airbag light situation coming along? I have aftermarket seats in myself and have yet to figure out the passenger side. Anyway love the vids !
Still something I'm working on. Once I come up with a solution I'll be sharing asap!
Let’s go kev!
Why does this look harder to do than the bushings videos lol
Hey Kevin, hope all is well! Quick question, do you think that this would be a worth it investment for a daily driver/ occasional track run? I daily my gr86 and maybe 3 times a year track driven. What do you think?

Wouldn't oil or fuel additives clear the carbon build up making this unnecessary?
If oil is still getting in there it can still have negative effects to the engine.
Any other preventive-maintenance/reliability-improvement mods y’all recommend?
I've got an oil pressure sensor + gauge coming from iiR that I think is a nice compromise for dropping the oil pan and scratching around looking for RTV haha. If I ever experience oil starvation I'll know.
I have a question, did you have to trim any part for fit your wheels?
Kevin, please help me, I have a GT86 and the HPFP is making the cricket noise. Do you know if there is an aftermarket HPFP that solves the noise
Does the AOS bracket touch the hard line on the firewall? Sorry it's hard to see.
Nope, just enough clearance!
Lets gooo!
does this work on the 1st gen? ive been wanting to get one for my frs to improve reliability
bro, soon you're gonna have more subs than subispeed lol
Who's Subispeed?
@@KevinVo ❤️
How diff compare to oil can catch?
She just needs some ap racing brakes from your old frs and she would be done 😩😩😩
Anyone else call a wobble a swivel?
Great video Kevin. Thanks man. Please excuse my ignorance. I've always used mechanics gloves when working on my cars. So I don't swear as much when wrench slips and I punch the block.

Not worth that money - $30 ones will do the same job
A lot of work for a questionable benefit.
