E36 catch can install

I did the m50 manifold and eliminated the cyclone separator. I left the filter on top. This can has a plug in the bottom. I installed a barbed fitting in the bottom that drains to the hose port on the obd2 dipstick tube. It's a little hard to see but look at the pics of those barbed fittings.

You'll see one end can be fitted with a small tube. I cut a short piece of tube and attached it then inserted that into the bottom of the can.

This allows water to separate from the oil in the bottom of the can. Works great. Is this modification meant as a replacement for the CCV system on the later E36's with that dreaded cyclonic separation unit? My only concern is whether you have to manually empty the system, or whether the dipstick is modified so as the system is hassle-free?

What would also be interesting is whether the intakes still gunk up as badly with more frequent oil changes or whether that makes zero difference. Do you have a picture of how you put the drain to the pan in? I have 2 -8 lines coming off the top of the VC.

The OEM port is plugged. There is a drain on the bottom of the can that goes to a 20oz plastic bottle down in the bumper.

It collects a lot of water ozs every couple weeks in the winter time, PNW and all, a lot less in the summer.

I originally ran the top of the can with the breather like photos but got tired of the oil vapor smell. I then ran a line back to the breather inlet on the bottom of the TB boot. I have checked that tube at the TB boot many many times now and it is bone dry, not a speck of oil. Originally Posted by Bleary. Originally Posted by jakermac. Account Locked Out.
