I did full -6an catch cans and if we miss the check that runs to the intake manifold it'll put the catch cans under vacuum and suck out every bit of oil lol however I'm now trying a block off plate for the intake manifold line I've read since we have map sensors it shouldn't disturb the ideal in any way but more is yet to be seen
@@E70MGarage yeah since I'm trying for a full -6an setup I'm kinda having to pioneer it lol and on top of that I think im have valve stem failure, it's really to bad this car is so much fun I could have had something else with the amount of money I've put into it
@@billybadass7722 good luck! Valve stems aren't very common on E70 S63 though, it's always or at least in most cases the CCV system or vacuum leaks that cause the blue smoke. With the current market, I'd rather throw money into this and keep it until it dies!
There is discusisons about why the passnager side is not getting anything. The design of this year was that the crank case vacuum is connected both to the driver side valve cover and intake, whereas the passenger side is only to the valve cover to the intake. I am working on a split design, where its balanced like the F10 S63 and later models, so that the vacuum is balanced in the block, and also using aftermarket check vales. I messaged you on IG, let me know if you want to discuss..
Its' idle hasn't been very smooth (I wouldn't call it rough) for a while and blue smoke after idling 30 seconds to a minute, however, no smoke at cold start or under load - so I could only point to or narrow it down to the CCV system and I replaced the entire system but it still had the same symptoms, so I smoke tester for leaks and found a minor leak anyway to cut it short I blew into each of the check valves and one of them was bad, replaced it and it was good for a week and symptoms came back Lol so I'm now replacing check valves with quality aftermarket check valves, OEM check valves are total garbage - will make a video on it. Thank you for the appreciation!
how is this set up performing so far? Is there a way to delete all the check valve nonsense?? Can we route the hoses to each intake on its own with out the crossover pipe?
It's performed great but routing hoses to each bank works better (detailed video on that coming soon). Unfortunately, you can't remove the check valves - removing check valves will either create excessive pressure (on boost) and vacuum (on idle) which will cause gaskets to leak/fail prematurely.
Hey - for the E70 S63, you cannot buy them separately. They come as part of the Intake Duct and are pretty pricey. I've been through 3 sets for various curiosity projects lol
Hey, it should only catch most of it in bank 2, bank 1 won't catch much. You'll see some after couple of 100 miles. If it doesn't smoke then your valves are good.
No, height does not have much to do with smoke. It's the checkvalves that cause PCV related smoke. There are 8 check valves in the system, 4 in the lines, and 4 on the oil separators that sit inside the valve covers. If you want to check the check valves, you can blow into them for each direction to see if they are working or not, and also, the orientation of the larger check valves (triangular shaped) matters, as gravity also plays a role in them functioning as intended.
I just clicked this and it you’ll probably explain this in the video, but why did you go to a catch can in the first place unless you’re running a serious stage setup?
BMW S63 is a direct injection motor. I went the catch can route to avoid further carbon build up on the valves. With the tight access, walnut blasting would require the motor to be out. I'm running stage 2+ making about 700 ponies.
