All those plastic crack becomes after a high temp under the hood. The working temp of your m54 is about 105 Celsius. Make a cold thermostat to cool down your engine to about 90 Celsius and change your engine fan to electro - it's also helps to take more extra HP from your engine and extend water pump life.
Cold thermostat ? Lol theirs no upgraded thermostat for the m54 mishimoto makes ones but it's shit it doesn't fit to a oem housing. A electric fan is better but doesn't keep your engine cooler unless you put a controller on it. ( Which u shouldn't need to if you' aren't making way more power and tracking it) The thing you can upgrade to your water pump to a Stewart or a 3 row radiator
@@Scarlif3x you can upgrade the oem thermostat to "colder" one by putting some 4mm ball under the rod of thermopile. I've done it on my M54 and the working temperature now is about 90
There’s a guy named 50skid on RUclips he has better angles and explains way better he probably got the idea from him cause this is the exact setup he does
Just finished putting my catch can!!! Thank you for putting everything in the description. I ordered everything I needed. And got it done I’d say an a hour. Wasn’t hard at all. But 👍🏼 on the video.
, the M52 has an additional vacuum line attached to the Fuel Pressure Regulator. Has any one done a catch can on an m52? If so, how did you tie in the Fuel Pressure Regulator vacuum line
1st time I'm replying on RUclips to anyone after years of watching Evan. I purchased an E46 partly because of you after a year of research. Just letting you know I appreciate your help. Now that I took the time to actually sign in, I might keep in touch, if I can figure out if you replied or not, lol. Be cool. (the diagram was very helpful)
I followed all the same steps you did and I still have a vacuum leak, but when I did it the way Nathan's diy garage and the 50's kid did it I didn't have a vacuum leak but my catch can was getting too hot to touch, but that was a cheap like 25 dollar one so I figured that was the problem because it leaked anyway so I got a mishimoto one for 130, installed it the way you did and I'm still sucking air somewhere and I can't seem to figure it out. Someone please help!!
@@zachv1035 - it is. water did not get heated to evaporate so mixes with oil vapor and milkifies. It's totally normal chemistry and physics. Now if this is milky after an hour of driving in summer...you got a serious catastrophic issue with your head gasket.
Dude, theres major knocking in your engine, low oil, maybe lifters? Any check engine lights? maybe its the recording device but it def doesn't sound good
You probably have a clogged CCV, that's the original problem. If it were working the vapor would be removed from the oil and you wouldn't get the sludge.
More than likely it’s actually the hydraulic lifters. They tend to get noisy when not in tip top shape, but not a huge issue like bad vanos or rod knock
Every couple months in the winter very rarely in the summer. It did 100 percent solve my water vapor condensing issue and reduced my oil consumption!!!
@@EvanGoyuk How much oil consumption did you have before vs after? I haven't done this mod yet but I did purchase turner motorsports oil catch can kit. I currently burn about 1qt per 1k miles and my car does not have any oil leaks.
I’m gonna have to disagree with this whole catch-can install. I was almost all in with it and ready to tear out the OEM CCV system. But I started doing some research. What I learned was that the C/C (catch-can) system isn’t nearly as effective of doing what the stock CCV system is capable of. And for most of us who drive our cars as daily drivers it’s impractical. The C/C doesn’t effectively remove water vapor and ends up just recycling it back into the system. Another issue is there’s no science in your installation. BMW designed the engine to run at specific internal pressures and when you guys start reducing 7/8” lines and restricting then down to 3/8” that’s changing pressures dramatically. So basically what I’m saying is C/C have a place if done correctly with some proper engineering for racing where you are renewing the oil often. But for us who may run an autocross or track day occasionally the OEM system can’t be beat. I know it looks cool and all but…. I’ve omitted a lot so it doesn’t sound like a dissertation but you get the idea. And the catch-can system doesn’t look any easier to install as a new CCV system. Evan I have watched a lot of your videos and have got a lot out of them. You know a lot about these cars but I don’t agree with you on this.
Vacuum build up when removing the oil filler is never good... you should not have that kind of Vacuum I noticed you might have put the little aftermarket pcv valve backwards which would probably be the cause of that vacuum build up. I installed a catch can on my 330i due to excessive vacuum build up now I can remove the oil filler cap with no issue car doesn't burn any oil at all
Where in your video do you show the vacuum connection to the fuel rail area? Are there two vacuum ports? Do you have to block one? What do you think about using the vacuum port at rear of engine instead (It is currently simply capped)? Seems this would be much simpler especially if it is providing same vacuum. Don't have to use the fancy plastic connectors.
Yes there is one vacuum port with a cap on it and another with a line attach going to the SAP system. I just need re-did the like that already had a vacuum line it going to the SAP since this line gets cracked.
hi dear I have got m52tu engine . my ccv have fpr vacuum hose if I delete my ccv then where I can put it in my fpr vacuum hose plz tell me I have done m54 oil cathch can but m52tu engine it have problem the fpr vacuum hose so what am I have to do!!
I'd love to see a follow-up on this when the catch can is filled up and how long it took for that to fill. I'm currently having vacuum leaks cause of the CCV system and I am considering changing over to a catch can...
okay thanks for the reply, i bought another PCV valve because i think mine is too small. i bought one thats made for a 6 cyl ford engine and is about the size of the one you are usuing so ill see if it works
@@EvanGoyuk Hey thanks for the video Evan! I was looking at the Amazon link for the PCV valve and it says it doesn't fit my car (2002 330i), but I figure it will say that just because it's actually not part of the car, but is necessary for the project. Can you confirm please?
@@emergencylowmaneuvering7350 almost blew the headgasket, definitely lifted the gasket in one channel and got a lit of white smoke from coolant in the engine but i caught it quick enough so its fine, just make sure that goes in the right spot

no i had that when i was stock and it was from condensation i live in a cold climate i even got the cover gasket replaced and still had it, after i did my catch can it was all good !
Evan Goyuk hey Evan I love the videos! Can you tell me the kind of head lights you have and a install video? I’ll look and see if you already have one but just asking ! Thanks

m54 ecu is programmable, find your local programmer and he will make your car working with 90 celsius.

put more holes on the stock thermostat for more liquid flow. It might have a bit less MPG but less hot too..

if you have bad valve cover gasket it may be cause... in fact id replace all gaskets and see if the problem is still there
Please install an OEM e60 short shifter and make a video about it :)
I have no suction through the oil cap but the car runs smooth
milky oil cap is normal if you drive short trips...especially in cold weather.
Shouldn’t be

I just use a small 1/4 10mm socket to get that first top plate off rather than take off the cabin filter and all that, just reach under on the left.
Dude, theres major knocking in your engine, low oil, maybe lifters? Any check engine lights? maybe its the recording device but it def doesn't sound good
It’s lifter tick
I think you should also consider about Vanos Rattle Kit. I've just learned about it
You probably have a clogged CCV, that's the original problem. If it were working the vapor would be removed from the oil and you wouldn't get the sludge.
So much easier to do on S54
The engine is knocking. It has some diesel sound. May be the Vanos needs to be rebuilded or smth
More than likely it’s actually the hydraulic lifters. They tend to get noisy when not in tip top shape, but not a huge issue like bad vanos or rod knock
How often are you needing to empty your can? Are you getting any water vapor condensing in with the oil ( your original mayo problem)?

You didn’t use the correct PCV most likely
So on pcv valve the side I cannot blow trough should face the hose that goes into Intake?

Glad it helped you
Song name??
I’m looking to do this as well with my E46. This doesn’t cause any CEL, correct? And is it necessary to have a baffled catch can?
any update or follow up? still running this?
You should make an update video 👍💯
Great idea
Please do so.
Just one question normally on the pcv valve threads go onto valve cover and nipple to intake manifold u put it the opposite way.
Can you communicate the different references and make of the fittings with diameter of the hoses, with search links?
Good video. Some video just point here & there does not help so much. 👍👍👍
I've been wanting to install oil catch can!! Can"t wait til this weekend to try it out. Thanks man. Looks like alot of work.
It’s not too much work but well worth it
I need help, what did I do wrong , also it suck to much air when i lift the oil cap is that normal or not
That is normal

There is vacuum ports mid way down back side drivers side of engine they have vacuum caps you can use one of them
He said 3 fourths😭
Shit sound like a diesel!
So how’d you block the ccv system below?
By unplugging it
Evan Goyuk ah I feel ya. All open ports of the system are plugged so the open oil separator doesn’t matter staying on

There is a tube on the left side of the intake manifold you take the connector off and cut the hose. Reuse the connector
