Awesome video !! Keep up the great work Fritz !!
Thanks! Will do!
All you had to do was use the 90degree hose in place of the kinked one and it would have been shorter and less cumbersome thn the way you went down and back up. In addition it's not a good idea to have the oil vapour cool down in the longer hose as it will pool at the bottom of the bend and collect there instead of in the catch can!
I think even some 60 and 30 degree bends would be even better make a small S since a 90 is still pretty restricted
Love your videos. Can't wait til u start tuning your car
Thank you. I will soon
Any thoughts on the supply pipe to the catch can dropping below the level of the can before returning back up to it? Wondering if a pool of oil would eventually collect down there as it drops out in the tube with nowhere to go but down, eventually blocking the path of vapor entering the can 🤔. Every bend causes a reduction in flow and the low point seems like a likely location for a pool to form. Just my thoughts. Not sure if it’s correct or not.
Great point! This should be checked every time the can is serviced. Fortunately no oil has been caught so far (47,000mi).
Hey Fritz, would installing any electronics (like a CarPlay module or new screen) void my manufacture warranty??
I'm sure it does but it depends on what kind of warranty you have. If it's just for mechanical issues then it shouldn't
In order to maintain a direct path to the catch can from the valve cover i wonder if it would be appropriate to use unicoil bend guide on the straight hose to prevent it from kinking. I'm planning on giving it a shot but the silicone hose may still be a bit too soft to not kink even with a bend guide.
Hey, you never know until you try. If it works out let me know, I'm interested to see how it goes. Hopefully your solution is better than mine
@@FritzRamos Will do, it was good that you were able to catch the breather was kinked. N55 doesn't need any help springing oil leaks prematurely.
@@FritzRamos On a side note, silicone heater hose isn't rated for fuel and oil (two substances known to vent from the crankcase). I don't think it will fail in a catastrophic way but you may notice oil weeping from the hose or build-up in the inlet hose of the OCC. If that becomes the case it may be worth replacing the hose(s) with ones designed for fuel or PCV breathers.
I installed my DIY catch can Couple days ago and I didnt notice any Turbo Lag, but instead the car is very linear in power now.
That's good to hear, glad it worked out for you on the first try
Why didn't you put the 90° hose on the other side where the kink is?
The 90° hose fits better on the catch can adapter than the other hose.
I don't get it: why didn't you just replace the kinked hose with the 90° hose???? The straight tube now again needs to bend upwards. 😞
Great
I’m gonna attempt this. When you say Bay Area you mean Tampa bay or somewhere else
San Francisco Bay area. Sorry man. Is Tampa where you are at?
Did you catch any oil yet??
Not yet.
@@FritzRamos I was reading up on it and it says the N55 has an advanced PCV system over the N54 so it doesn't need the catch can, what do you think? Regardless, I think it's better to have it than not to. That's why I'm going go put one on mine anyway. Thanks for your awesome tutorials!
@@albikasemi2322 I think that is very accurate. I have yet to catch oil, but I plan to keep this car for several years so better to hedge my bets.
@@FritzRamos I agree totally. Thanks for the replies!
Jesus under the hood is making me so claustrophobic lol
now i know all car engineers like all of them all stooped like MB, PORSCHE,AUDI,CRYSLER EVEN ROLLS ROYS NO ONE FIGURE THAT THEY NEED INSTALL SIMPLE OIL CATCH CANS LOL OMG!!!
Well the N55 seems to be doing okay. Here's the results since installing the oil catch can. ruclips.net/user/shortsz1BWR3yM7V8?feature=share
That’s because it’s for emissions. Duh.
Why in the world do you think the PCV system is causing turbo lag ?? That literally makes no sense.
It's not a true turbo lag and I explained it in the video.
Yeah any positive pressure built up in areas like the head or the crankcase can cause a number of issues, especially with engines that use a lot of oil driven hydraulic mechanisms. This scenario is mostly dangerous because it can damage many of the engine seals that are not designed to hold pressure.
