BMW E46 E39 Easy CCV Delete And $15 Catch Can Install M54 M52TU 

I hate when people post inaccurate videos.

Dude, thank you ✌🏽 priceless info

Ahhhh explains my weird oil leaks thank you sir

Cheers for the info appreciate it

@@hmongkieyaaj1491 Do you have a recommended video on the correct way to perform this modification?

Hey you think you can give me more details on your catch can setup?

Lol buy a bmw

@@grandtheftautoivful only if I had a budget for a BMW

Nathan plaese help. I've just done my cam cover gasket and tested it for 2 days with the crank case open to atmosphere and had no oil leaks. I fitted a catch can the same as you did in this video (vacum from nipple at rear of intake - catch can - valve cover, also plugged ccv drain to dipstick) and now i have a major oil leak from the rear main seal. How has this happened? For 2 days there was no leaking with open to atmosphere and soon as the catch can was fitted after a 10 minute drive i have major leaking. help nathan please

FuckTheGov yours could have hose on it already, you can T into any source of vacuum

Nathan's DIY Garage thanks for your quick reply. Could I t off the intake boot/brake booster line if I can't find anything better ?

Hey Nathan so I went ahead and t'd off the vac line on the intake boot. I plugged the drain hose, and the hose on the intake (my intake only had one hose that needed plugging on the bottom??), and rerouted valve cover to intake boot. I did not remove the ccv from the car. I'm just wondering if it needs to be completely removed or if it's simply mounted to the block (do i need a blockoff?). The car is now leaking massive amounts of oil. I'm suspecting the dipstick tube (I used a very thin gasket from a littke o ring set thinking it would seal, ordered an oem gasket. ) but I'm just trying to make sure i cover all my bases before I take apart the intake again. Aside from that the car is running with no smoke.

Sadly this is problem im facing... Too many people doing it in many different waya

Whatever you do don't do it this way every thing is wrong about this set up

did u find out

Breather will create a vacuum leak

Do you take the old one out or?

Help never had that issue with a catch can, check the oil level before you drive it anymore, if you have changed the filter lately check the filter and see if its is crushed

Aka.. nice !! Haha thankx man you rock I gotta 03 325xi I frickin love it Have spend a good bit on it since the 2g I spent on it from my aunt She is 5speed the car that is !! Absolutely 💯 love this thing Was mint til I hit a deer now pass. Front a lil shitty but still my baby I've put out a good bit to get her running good still needs some love But very happy with it Thankx for your videos you have helped me along my way God bless !!

Possible reason, maybe doesn't want all the dirty crap back into oil system. I know I wouldn't want it in my oil. Whole point of catching it.

That is fine

Why would you want all that gunk back in to your oil pan? Makes no sense

Ted Schoenling what can did you get

+Shadrick Simms - I got one for $15.00 with Free Shipping and real GOOD QUALITY too. Although it was Purple... I sprayed with with Black Paint, LOL. Check out this on Ebay.....

You have to run the hose to the port on the rear of the intake, running it to the vacuum log is too much vacuum

Thanks for the response! I will run it to the rear but, will I still need the PCV valve on that hose from the catch can to the rear of the intake? I'm wondering since, the rear intake has less vacuum, if a PCV is necessary. Thanks for your response! I greatly appreciate it.

Drew Maximus Do not listen to this twat! More vacume is better. That rear nipple will not give enough vacume and will blow something guaranteed. This idiot does this rear nipple method on cars with oil leaks. I done the rear nipple method on car that had no oil leaks because i had replaced every oil gasket and seal and under WOT the rear nipple cant make enough vacume and the crank case will be pressrized and something will blow. Mine was rear main seal as all my other oil seal where tight. This guy wouldn't know because he does this on cars with oil leaks he already knows about so it wouldn't matter that he uses the rear nipple with not enough vacume because something is already blown. Thanks for fucking up my car Nathan you half job prick. I you actually foxed all the oil leaks on a car and tried the rear nipple you would have found out yourself and not fucked up peoples cars with this video you prick.

Nathan's DIY Garage wrong! vacume is good vacume wont blow out a seal unlike the rear nipple you muppet you wouldn't know though because you already have a oil leak when you do this rear nipple method 10 minutes i had it on the rear nipple and it fucked my car right up and blew the rear main seal because i had all new other oil seals and gaskets with NO leaks.

Drew Maximus This is what i should have done use top distribution as vacume and use as long a hose as possible so vacume will run up hill, so mount catch can down the front at bottom of engine bay by rad fan. I even made a hole in under tray to reach under and open the drain plug. no pcv required high crankcase vacume is good for the low tension bottom oil piston rings. up hill long vac pipe and wire wool in the catch can will keep the oil down. All good knowing this now but its to late as i listened to nathan in this stupid video and blew my rear main seal! you cunt

Yes it will fail the do visual and specific ccv inspection 2

Put a Filter on it :D

No way, if the inspector knows anything about the motor. Their initial test is visual, and if they see it's not stock, they will fail it unless any mod has a CARB number / sticker.

dr331 why ?

You can do it to ANY Cars / Trucks!

They are around $100 off ebay with the hoses, $160+ for the cold weather, most of the cars i get in its failed or failing, usually a unfixable lean code, or the intake is full of oil when you pull the disa out, if the diaphragm fails it will suck the oil out of your oil pan in about 30 minutes, alot of the time shops and dealerships will crack the new ccv upon install since its so thin in the middle, once you do the catch an it burns much cleaner and keeps the throttle body and icv clean im guessing you work at a shop ? If what is shop labor on replacing the ccv?

I was quoted $800 to replace the CCV system from an independent mechanic. That's good enough reason for me to consider it.

Lol i can see them charging that

I replaced mine only once so far, did it myself on a weekend

Nathan's DIY Garage I was told that I need a oil separator. And when I search this catch can comes up. Is this what I need to do to fix the problem?

those are tiny, you probably have alot of vaccum and filled the small Mishimoto catch can up really fast so now youre burning oil

You can get them either way , this one is hollow

Nathan's DIY Garage I just bought the same can... can it be opened to add steel wool? just precautionary baffles to avoid sucking oil into the intake

After you did the catch can it blows smoke?

It's less work than fixing anything on the EOM CCV system

Yeah, but only God knows how long tearing the engine apart will take. Usually cheaper to deal with the ccv until the rings fail. Then you swap a different engine into the car lol

this is very good solution but what about price they dont have price for this

Noooooooo... It goes into the Can, duhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!

Well because they are not $20, they are $38 for a china kit, $90 for a good oem, $800 for the dealer to do the job, most of the china ccv's go bad right way, most shops that try the install crack the ccv at the narrow spot in the middle, then you get random lean codes, the catch can is under $20 total cost and you can install it in 10 minutes, that is why this video exist.

You're right now they're $13 with free shipping.

BmKOSWarrior exactly this mate. I wouldn't trust this Nathan idiot with putting a wheel on

Because repairing them at a mechanic shop will cost more than the car is worth.

What prevents you from installing proper parts yourself?

peto22 BMW parts are expensive. You have to realize these are old clunkers. If you were going to repair everything with original and genuine parts, you might as well just go purchase a brand new car.

Genuine parts are expensive but I want that my old clunker is as reliable as possible... dunno how my 100-200$/a on original parts is equal to buy 50000$ new car.

peto22 You haven't fallen into a money pit yet it seems. It won't be just a couple hundred dollars in parts one time. Things will go wrong on your car continuously. Radiator here, sensor there. Each time you'll go and purchase oem parts from the manufacturer thinking it'll be the last repair. Then one day you decide to add it all up and realize that you could have leased a brand new car for what you spent repairing a clunker. The radiator on my Maxima went out. The dealership wanted between $700 to 800 for a genuine Nissan radiator ( just the radiator, not including hoses, coolant or installation). I bought an aftermarket one for $70 and installed it myself. Ditto for everything else that I've replaced (after I got wise).

Well i can pull down all 250 videos, but i will need you to put up new ones that you think is correct, ill be waiting for you to do that before i pull mine down lol

Troy Martin you are an idiot. Thanks to Nathan's videos I have been able to rescue two e36 and one e46 got them all for under $500 a piece and sold for well over $3k. I doubt you can teach anyone how to do that, especially someone with minimal mechanic experience.

Look pretty normal. Nice and dry. Its a workhorse not a fancy ferrari
