Oil catch can

badblack550xi · 08-12-2016, 02:37 PM

I think people that are pushing their 550 to the limits should invest in to oil catch cans. ive seen many people use cheap amazon catch cans on small turbos. Our cars should have been made with oil catch cans from factory.

Wouldn't something like this work? I know these are more motor or body specific but I think it would still work for our applications. http://www.burgertuning.com/BMW_335_oil_catch_can.html

ive seen them on race cars with out issues and cheap to replace, im assuming any catch can will work as it's a simple part.

An upgraded pcv is what's truly needed. When I had my n54 e82 I ran the RB pcv and a catch can as well. Nothing was found in the can after switching to that RB pcv. That helped out big time

Seems like that PCV valve is for the N54. I assume it won't work on the N55....

Supposedly the n55 pcv is redesigned and that's why it takes longer to get carbon buildup on the valves. The n54 are notorious for carbon buildup and had mine walnuts blasted at 39k and they were terrible.

our cars take the closed system, but he explains well why we need a catch can.

Bumping this to see if you guys have created anything. I've got an RB/Mishimoto setup on the GF's 535xiT and it works awesome. The RB works for DD use while the BMS works for under boost only...point being the RB setup is better IMHO. I've bought a partially created setup for my S63 but I haven't figured out how to finish it.
