PM'd for kit

BMMal · 07-20-2019, 04:54 PM

Are you still selling these kits? I'd like to buy one.

Same ^, I'd like a kit. Sent PM

BB_cuda · 12-15-2019, 08:38 AM

Just buy the can on Amazon for $80. You don’t need the kit.

I have one I'm not using if anyone wants it for cheap. I won't be able to pull it out of the box, take pics, and ship it until after 12/29 though.

I'm interested? What's included and what's your price?

Thanks gang for your info in this thread. Installed my system today which took about an hour. Got the can on amazon for $26 sold by K-Motor Performance. I like the design being clear I can check it at a glance. Its barbs are 3/8". Used 3/8 to 1/2" brass adapters ( pex type)
picked up high temp tubing from advanced auto. I used 2 short lengths of 3/8 and made my runs with the 1/2 inch. I used about 3.5 feet. Used 1" high temp silicon tubing to connect to the pvc and intake. The tubing was a close fit to the outside of the 1/2" line so I slid it over top. This I secured with zip ties. I did not use any elbows and I have a loop on the inlet side. Not sure how this will hold up but I will try to update if there are issues.

ddinse · 01-16-2020, 01:16 AM

After 4 days (200 miles) I have about 5ml of oil in the can

Saw this message late. PM sent.

Having major smoking issues and a slight rear main oil leak. Pulled the dipstick while the engine was running and was greeted with a small shower of oil. Removed my catch can set up and went back to stock. Repeated dip stick test and no signs of crankcase pressure. A test drive in daylight tomorrow will tell me if the smoking issue is better. My CC was apparently much too small and was taking away the crankcase vacuum.

ddinse · 02-20-2020, 09:53 AM

Smoking 100% better today. Hopefully this was my issue.

Your problem was likely due to your hoses being routed upwards. The inlet to the catch can needs to be downhill all the way to the catch can, or the oil can pool and cause a blockage, which will pressurize your crankcase.

ddinse · 02-25-2020, 10:38 PM

Thanks you're probably right

A little late to the game, but here is my install. Not sure if it will stay here or not. It's pretty easy to maintain at this location. Not well hidden, but I'm ok with that. Partially held in place with friction and keeping it upright with a zip tie with some room to slide it out. Hopefully won't kink or pool. Thanks for all of the positing in this thread as it helped a lot.

Can someone make a updated install with all elbows, quality of lines and links that are valid

This is too much to read through. To pick out all the stuff that worked/didnt work

You get Ccv delete plates for catch-can installs these days

Search whitbread ccv on google

Perfect time to ask then so one hose would go from the delete plate to the can, where would the other hose go?

To the air pipework section (turbo to air filter one, has small pipe on it)

POBEP · 11-08-2021, 02:58 AM

I went the hard way on E70 M57:
- Provent 200 permanently mounted at the rear of intake side
- custom built aluminum vent plate
- 25mm Patrick Motorsport CCV piping to/from Provent
- 1/2 drain pipe to (future) canister near fuel filter
- verified vacuum levels at engine different load scenarios

Report
- setup was expensive and time consuming
- it works excellent
- no piping sipping, no seal leaking
- installation not visible (helps pass smog)
- 1.2L of oil collected over 10,000mi (matches add-up oil quantity)

Red arrows shows routing of uninstalled (at the time of taking photo) piping
