finally installied oil catch can

maicol76 · 02-24-2017, 08:53 PM

At last, I made and installed oil catch cans.

I made adapters and caps instead of stock oil separators, then installed with aftermarket oil catch tanks.

Have to say, that install looks pretty clean!

Nice! More pics...and more pics of that CF strut bar! Any details on it??

Nice install. I get the purpose of the catch can is to help keep gunk build up from blow by to a minimum. What inspired you to install this on your car, any particular problem or just preventative? I wonder if this would reduce some of the fuel that shows up in our oil from city driving these beasts.

Any info on that strut tower bar? Did you have to modify the factory bars? Thanks!

Rajmun340 · 02-25-2017, 09:38 AM

nice install but you just lost horsepower there.

Nice BMS cowl filters. I run them too.

I don't know about fuel efficiency. Actucally this catch cans are for track driving.

Did you have a blow by problem you needed to fix? Some people have issues with power steering blowing out the reservoir but I have not read of engine blow by. Normally it's a forced induction issue.

Since my question didnt get read/answered the first time, and others are also asking... Why did you install this? What are you trying to solve for?

SYT_Shadow · 02-27-2017, 04:03 PM

Love the cf brace!! I don't see it on the website

I don't think so, but don't quote me on that. As I was perusing through some of the non-M3 braces, there were several that mentioned that drilling was required. This one, however, did not.
