These kits are ideally these are best used with plugged head ports, which means the PCV routing through the valve cover and valve cover gasket is eliminated. Plugging the head ports is NOT required, however having them plugged is a big reason for going to the External PCV routing- as it eliminates boost leaks and other PCV issues through a potentially worn/leaking/clogged/cracked/etc valve cover and gasket. Having it all external means it is more easily accessible for servicing if/when needed as well. Regarding plugging the head, it is highly recommended by not mandatory.

Attached is a picture and this link provides the intended OCC. Please note we are not shipping the kit with the OCC, but are including the adapters if you should choose to order it:
Mishimoto Compact Baffled Oil Catch Can, 2-Port
Original Model: MMBCC-MSTWO-BK (these can be found online for around $110 shipped) NOTE: These have 3/8" NPT Threads for the OCC interface.
Succeeding Model: MMBCC-CBTWO (these can be found online for around $110 shipped) NOTE: These have M16x1.5 Threads/with O-Ring for the OCC interface.

Both of these models are still shipping, causing confusion on adapters, so it usually helps to know which you have received prior to us shipping these kits to ensure we provide you with the correct adapters to match whichever OCC you are to receive.

Other OCC models could be found to work very well as well, this one is just the one we homed in on for usage and produced custom adapters accordingly.

Do you already have a BMS style OCC that you'd like to re-purpose for the low side? See here:

https://www.jb4tech.com/forum/general/market-place-for-sale-trade-wanted/7081-rb-external-pcv-dual-catch-can-support-kit-intro-offer?p=509024#post509024

Also if you already have a standard RB PCV Valve it is adapted for internal functionality and will not work with the external kit. So set it aside, sell to another, or place it in the trash can. Keeping in mind at the end of the day these are maintenance items.

Overall I'd consider this a must for really any die hard N54 enthusiast looking to rule out vulnerabilities in the N54 PCV/Valve cover design and finally having the ability to add in a 2nd catch can into the low pressure side of the PCV system.

Thanks,
Rob

Is this compatible with the BMS OCC?

Is this compatible with the BMS OCC?

The BMS OCC works only on high load (ventilation) function of the PCV system. This means that it only "collects" while you are driving in high load condition (ie. under boost, PCV valve shuts, and the system is ventilation only).

This said in all low load conditions the BMS OCC does nothing as airflow actually reverses through it. In these conditions clean filtrated air (ie. sourced between the air filter and turbo inlet) is pulled into the crankcase, through the PCV Valve, and into the intake where it is ingested through the engine/valves. Now with the low load PCV system being externalized, you can add in a SECOND (ie. Dual) catch can to intercept oil flow into the intake as well. Low load conditions is where most of the contamination takes place, as noted by the generally disgusting #4,5,6 cylinders where the OEM internal low load PCV system dumps directly over.

So yes in short: This will work with the BMS catch can as they are entirely on two different sides of functionality of the PCV system. This is not to be confused in any sort of way of saying that the BMS catch can can be utilized as part of this kits function directly, as they are not related and have to be kept separated.

Thanks,
Rob

OH, ok, so this is a kit in addition to a OCC system already in place. Gotcha..

OH, ok, so this is a kit in addition to a OCC system already in place. Gotcha..

If you have one already? Sure. Then your high load OCC separator will be in use. If not, you will have no high load separator.

Again, this side of PCV functionality is an ENTIRELY different entity which affects all low load operation- which is the vast majority of engine operation. That is unless you live life 1/4 mile at a time, lol.

Just an idea, but would a 3 port occ work? venting both sides of the pcv system to one oil collection unit?

No. Both sides of the system must be isolated.

So this will work in conjunction with the BMS OCC? How would the routing work?

Yes. Again, they are separate entities…

How would it work? Keep the BMS OCC in place, or simply act as if it isn't there if you'd like. Then add this.

That diagram only has one OCC. So on the Flapper side, is an OCC not required?

That diagram only has one OCC. So on the Flapper side, is an OCC not required?

The diagram is not intended to be a "cover all situations" diagram. It is simply for a reference to satisfy your request regarding the installation of this particular kit, which is regarding the LOW load operation side of the PCV system. The vent side or the HIGH load operation side of the PCV system is again a totally different entity. If you want to run an OCC on the high load side as well, great, that can be done and has been done for many years. Now that we have externalized the LOW load operation side of the PCV system, adding an OCC here can also be done. But neither the HIGH load NOR the LOW load OCC's are required.

Rob, can you please offer this kit with AN fitting options for all the connections that require a hose connected?

This looks like a premium product, so the option to have premium hoses would appeal to someone like myself and many others!

The PCV valve has a bung. We can not change this, nor would we want to even if we could. This said you can use -6AN and it mates up perfectly over said bung. The bung on the vacuum source is an exact replica of the bung on the PCV Valve as well, so again -6AN hose works great. As for the OCC portion- you can use off the shelf AN adapters if you think they are more cool, no big deal. But the kit comes with 2 custom adapters with the same exact bung as the PCV Valve, and the vacuum reference; all of which work with -6AN hose. In short, sure you can use AN hose, as long as it is -6AN… but see absolutely zero reason why have AN fittings instead of bungs will make any difference in the world.

It is good for any setup from OEM to the sky limit, provided you want to retain true PCV functionality.

Excuse my ignorance but if I understand you correctly, then currently my BMS OCC runs on the high load side of the pcv system. With your kit it will also support a 2nd OCC on the low side of the pcv system. Since the low side of the pcv system is in operation the majority of the time would it make sense to install my existing OCC on the low side of the system when installing your kit?

The High load side of the PCV system needs a very high flow OCC (such as the BMS) that is not restrictive. The caveat to this is that the OCC is not a very fine separator. This said IMO the BMS OCC does a fine job doing what it was designed and intended to do for high load non-restrictive separation, but for the low side using a fine separator (such as the one I linked) is more ideal. In short if you have a BMS OCC- use it as it was intended on the high load side. And if you want to add in an OCC into the low load side, use the one I linked above for its finer separation characteristics.

Thanks,
Rob

The same reason why the OP (Robc) that you linked in the DIY thread does it to.. To get the engine bay sexy with high quality hoses and the same type/look of hoses throughout.

I think alot of the other questions would be answered with pictures of this actually installed and stating that TWO OCC's are actually needed in this setup.

This would be my ultimate clean setup - Or maybe Terry can make a dual setup that looks good!

Yes. RobC would get some SS AN line, blue AN hose crimp ends, spray paint anything else he could blue, red, or chrome- and be in business. 99% of the others prefer an OEM subtle look, but to those who do not they'll figure a way out to improvise

Anyway the hose can be altered to whatever one likes. It is a hose. Don't like this hose? Ok then use another you prefer. As long as it is a correctly sized hose, you can connect the dots with it by any means you wish. The adapters are the difficult part.

Also as stated above, OCC's are NOT required (for either High or Low Load sides). Not sure how can be any clearer on this. But some may see this as the perfect opportunity to especially add one to the low side now that the interface if finally available. As for OCC choices: Restrictions and filtration ability are important per each side of the system. Really need a type of design per side, so using the same style per side is not most ideal thought. Most who prefer OCC's already have the BMS on the high load side, so now it is as simple of buying a finer separator for the low load side if you so choose.

One last thing and as mentioned above- will take pics when I have the moment of it installed. Not much to see as this is so incredibly simplex, but agree that it will help see placement of the 2 larger adapters.

Rob, recently I bought a pcv upgrade with screw on cap from you.

Should I sell it (since it was never installed) and order this instead? I'm a newb to this n54 platform so I haven't wrapped my head around this product you're selling, fully.
Thanks in advance.

You can run that or this. This is more so if you want to run your PCV system externally, have the ability to add in an oil catch can, block off head ports, etc. I'd suggest reading the thread carefully to determine if it is for you or not. Both options are good solutions, really just depends on what you want.

So I would have to remove the valve cover and plug the ports right?

You do not have to but it is a big beneficial component of the concept of the kit. In short- very highly recommended to get full benefits. I'd suggest reading the first several posts carefully for more information.

This kit will not fix other things (outside of the PCV system) that can be amiss, so I do not want to make false promises here saying it will fix your issues to make a sale. BUT if your valve cover is clogged/cracked/etc or your valve cover gasket is deteriorated- it very well could. I'd suggest reading through the first page of this thread for details on what specifically this does.

I'll snap a couple pictures this morning of the adapters installed. It is so incredibly easy to install them. BUT once you get into plugging the head ports, it requires more efforts. As with anything on the N54, some to extensive mechanical know-how is highly recommended.

Here are pictures and descriptions.

Picture #1: The EVAP Throttle Body Interface. This is what you see on your N54 stock.

Picture #2: The EVAP Throttle Body Interface with new RB PCV Vacuum reference Point installed.

Picture #3: The new RB External PCV. Connect the nipple in Picture #2 to the nipple in Picture #3 and install is complete (without optional OCC).

Picture #4: Mishimoto catch can with RB nipples installed. Connect in between the nipple in Picture #2 and Picture #3 and install is complete (with optional OCC)
NOTE: If you install this can mount it wherever you have space. Since every under hood has its fair share of aftermarket additions, we do not have a position that is all encompassing. So look around it is not difficult to find a position to mount it. It has a mounting adapter equipped with it from Mishimoto.

All you have to do is the above, then connect each nipple (as applicable) with vacuum lines. Again blocking the head off is the ultimate solution as well, this can be done immediately or any time later, but to take full advantage of the solution the sooner the better. Also use clean engine oil on O-rings pre-install (do not install them dry).

Rob

Best bet is to mount wherever works for YOU on your particular car. As stated you can mount the OCC wherever you wish, not run an OCC at all, or stick with the OEM PCV system altogether. Up to you.
