This is very kind of you to share your work to this detail

[@AutoLust]

Thank you and I'm happy you enjoyed the video. Thanks for supporting the channel 🚀

[@TinCanSailor]

I have been wanting to do a catch can kit but have put it off because the abusive pricing. I sincerely appreciate the share sir. I can't wait to see the vacuum tank and the transmission cooler. Much success!

[@AutoLust]

Thanks fam 💯 I'm definitely going to have those videos coming real soon. I'm trying to get her on the track ASAP lol 👨🏾‍🚀🚀🌌

[@ReignRegime]

You reinspired me to get back into vlogging man. Hope to see you at a car show one day man

[@AutoLust]

Thanks for supporting the channel family. I'm really happy you were inspired by the channel. Thanks for the love and support 🚀🚀🚀

[@billboon]

Love it bro. I have a two catch for each side. ...so 4 catch in total and run the hose across the back of the engine so the oil can cool down. I did use an fitting - heat up the an fitting and tap the an fitting into ends connecting to the engine. Love your work

[@AutoLust]

Thanks fam. Sounds like you have a nice catch can setup 🚀🚀🚀

[@billboon]

@@AutoLust dont known if it nice just like to mess around with the car and find improvement... but it funny how 100 bucks and a bit of doing it yourself can save u so much money .. keep it up. I am no way at your level !

[@Dentprotony]

Very nice and clean set up, keep us posted if cans catch anything (i was able to see some in less than 100 miles)

[@AutoLust]

Thanks Tony! I will be checking them in a few weeks to see what I've caught 🚀

[@rangeralpha5205]

Best channel 💡

[@AutoLust]

Thanks fam! I really appreciate that 🚀🚀🚀🚀

[@TheRealEvo]

GOD BLESS YOU. My M6 Gran Coupe had the same issue.

[@AutoLust]

Thanks for supporting the channel fam and I'm very happy that you enjoy the content. Family members like you are who I truly do this for 💯 God bless you as well brother and let's give him all the glory 🚀🚀🚀.

[@TheRealEvo]

@@AutoLust appreciate your work bro, what did you use to seal off the bottom drain system it has, would like to know as im working on setting mine up now. i see you used the drain valve that came with it to lead it to the bottom of the catch can if im correct. Thanks

[@AutoLust]

@@TheRealEvo That's exactly what I did and i used e6000 to to make sure it didn't come out. You have to make sure you have something holding the drain pipe up until the e6000 hardens so it doesn't slip too far in or out before it hardens in place.

[@kayzrx8]

That flapper is not to prevent oil going through. It serves 2 purposes.1) It has a hole in it to meter air into the Case while the intake manifold is under negative pressure, 2) Under positive pressure the valve swings open allowing the crank case blow by into the intake of the turbo to be burned off. To properly put a catch can on these cars, you need one for the Positive pressure side of the vent system and another can for the low pressure side of the system.

[@AutoLust]

BMS and a lot of other companies have this same setup available you speak of and it NEVER catches anything but a little oil filmed water vapor every few months. Not taking away what you said about the flapper valve (that's why I still have it) but my goal is to eliminate oil and oily vapor from going into the intake (dropping octane) as I use my car for drag racing. VTA setup with a crank case breather (one way ball) valve in place of the oil cap is the best way in my personal opinion (from my personal needs). I really don't care about catching any oil as long as the pressure is released and my intake air is clean.

[@nofaceahk5802]

@@AutoLustyour 100% right i have bms catch can setup for my f10 m5 it barely carches oil and oil still gets into turbo inlets and intake manifold i have seen it when it was off. I was looking to do somthing like this but your video poped up thank you sir 🙏🏽 function over looks

[@AutoLust]

@@nofaceahk5802 I'm happy you enjoyed the video fam and thanks for your support 🚀🚀🏆

Trans cooler upgrades are something I would like not for racing but I tow a lot and that is far harder on trans. I got all my stuff from fcp so when I make a big trip I order it up and replace all my fluids and filter when I come back.

[@AutoLust]

A transmission cooler upgrade is a must for even around town driving especially if you live in hot climates, because the thermostats open way too late and it takes forever to cool it back down so it will diminish the transmission life.

[@anasmalaika]

I was hesitant to buy and install 2 open vents catch cans on each pcv hose because some people said that anything with a vent (including the engine oil cap) will change the pressure and vacuum of the system and that’s gonna lead to more problems in the future

[@AutoLust]

That's big untrue. My buddy's been running open vent to atmosphere for over 2 years. And I've been running the oil filter crankcase breather for over 2 years with no problem.

[@anasmalaika]

Great to hear that! But what about the suction from the oil filler cap when taking it off during idle? I’m guessing that it’ll affect the crankcase by constantly sucking air into it.

[@AutoLust]

@@anasmalaika it has a ceramic ball valve inside so it only releases when it's supposed to and seals when it's not I have a video on the X6M playlist that explains everything with a link to the actual cap.

[@anasmalaika]

@@AutoLust Thank you so much bro 🙏🏻

[@joshuaparduram2777]

Hey bro just a quick question. Are you still running this same setup for your catch can or you changed anything around? Im looking to set up my catch can but im seeing some people say that you should connect hoses for in and also out for negative and positive pressures.

[@AutoLust]

I'm still currently running a similar setup but I eliminated the catch cans all together and just running breathers on the end of the crank case line keeping the flapper valve in place. I also run a one way crankcase breather valve in place of the oil cap to deal with positive and negative pressure as well.

[@roody02]

I see you removed the catch cans, were they not catching much oil? And the new set up won’t it saturate the engine bay with oil? Do you have a vid of the new set up?

[@AutoLust]

The science between catch cans and the S63 engine is very complicated. The only way to truly stop oil from entering the turbos and the intake is to delete any avenues that lead to the intake and Turbo that carry oil or oil vapor. The way I have my system run now in conjunction with a oil cap valved breather has worked the best for me. I can't say how it will perform in any other situation or in any other car, But for me I've had no oil in the intake or turbos as well as no oil in the engine bay.

[@luiscarlosmontanosaenz7717]

Hey bro you know if bmw m8 need oil catch can? I wonder why some forums people comment that no longer, I'm still investigating I want your opinion

[@AutoLust]

If you want to eliminate oil into the intake and turbos then it's a good thing if done correctly, but they won't catch much oil.

[@bryanalvarez5562]

Will having this oil catch can set up throw a check engine light ?

[@AutoLust]

Thanks for supporting the channel fam. No not at all 🚀

[@fmmd-1]

This is not a criticism of any sort as i admire your work on the x6m But the pcv valve has a one way valve which (opens or closes) and operates strictly on (vacuum or pressure) in the intake pipe you closed. 1) During open throttle conditions. There is vacuum in the intake pipe and the cleaned blow by gasses are sucked into the intake pipe thereby opening the valve. 2. During close throttle conditions. The pressure in the intake pipe shuts the valve close and blow by gasses are discharged through a secondary valve attached to the oil separator into intake ports via holes in the cylinder head. So with your installation there is no vacuum in your oil catchcan enough to draw the blow by gases out as it is vent to air.

[@AutoLust]

Thanks for supporting the channel and that's totally understandable, but I'm more concerned with keeping oil and oil vapor out of the intake track completely as I will be running extremely high boost. Even with some of the best catch can set ups oil will end up coating the inside of the turbos intercoolers and various other components as well as dropping the octane of the fuel. The main purpose of this kit was strictly to prevent oil and oil vapor from mixing with fresh air.

[@epoxyguys]

Why even use a can? Why not run hoses straight down?

[@AutoLust]

That would cause oil to drip onto the track and cause me to be expelled from the track. The baffle system under the valve covers does a great job for a factory system but it's not perfect, hence the reason for the catch cans to correctly separate oil from air. Now, if you mean run the breeders from the sides of the catch cans under the car I could do that, but I like the look of the triple breathers under the hood.
