Turbo M52 Engine Build: Ultimate E36 Catch Can Kit

In today's episode we install the SLG Ultimate E36 Catch Can kit, available below, onto Mike's turbo M52 powered E46. We also touch base on a few of the motor build details and get ready to start the rebuilt engine.
Shop: www.seemslegitgarage.com/prod...
Pretty much the best catch can kit you can put together. Includes required specialty tools and all motorsport grade Vibrant components. The tab on the catch can be bent and rotated to fit in many positions.

id much rather have the e36 🔥🔥

That tap needed a lil bit of tap sauce! lol Nice setup!

[@drewdavis239]

My radium orb -10 fittings are way lower profile imo. (A superior fitting compared to the vibrant. ) Best part they swivel still after install in my m50 manifold. I would also recomend rinsing or blowing out any hoses after you cut and add "an" fittings. Things like fuel lines for example, you will plug your injectors with rubber.

[@SeemsLegitGarage]

yea those are pretty pimp

[@skidbits1802]

Where can I get those washers separately? I could use something like that for so many other applications.

[@Tibi470]

Im seriously confused on why you need two ports out of the valecover. What different function do they have? I mean they are in the same chamber, not like it goes out on one hose and "comes back" on the other one they both just let the crankcase pressure into the canister... I really dont understand why it needs two lines coming from the same chamber into the same canister! PLEASE someone explain it to me!

[@SeemsLegitGarage]

by adding a second hose you can flow more which reduces the velocity of the gas which makes it more efficient at separating the oil from the air in the catch can.

[@Tibi470]

I see! I misunderstood the whole thing! Thanks for clearing it up this quick! Keep up the great work!

[@spiky29]

Super informative episodes. What kind of numbers are we talking about, with all this modifications?

[@SeemsLegitGarage]

price-wise?

[@spiky29]

@@SeemsLegitGarage uh, sorry, i mean in power. this engine is ready for..600,700,more hp?

@@spiky29 yes this current setup made an efficient 740hp and 62tq

Good shit bro, I’m looking at putting an m52 in my ‘83 volvo stock at first, any tips on best ecu setup?

[@SeemsLegitGarage]

We like to use Link ECU for all serious cars. More more street could use ms43 from a e46 well

[@gregweber8951]

Even if it’s a 97 2.8 with bare bones obii?

[@SeemsLegitGarage]

@@gregweber8951 ms43 needs obd2

Any info on the electronic water pump hose routing and install?

[@SeemsLegitGarage]

craig davies pump, wired to a pdm for ultimate control

[@bumjubeo]

Any chance to get more info on the wires you're using for the ign1a coils?

[@SeemsLegitGarage]

they are MSD 32219 that I cut and added standard ends

@@SeemsLegitGarage Thanks!!

[@copyingthenews1137]

Nice build how much did it cost

[@SeemsLegitGarage]

I dont keep track as that would cause me to go crazy

[@toddkane3152]

No ray?

[@beefcake8920]

How do you run the M52 and a modern auto transmission like ecu/dme wise?

[@SeemsLegitGarage]

I would use either a OBD2 engine with BMW MS43 ecu with an electronic throttle body or any standalone controller with the HTG GCU. Having the electronic throttle makes the most of it with blips and cuts.

[@jokinjokerjokesgirl]

Will this fit the m54 valve covers?

[@SeemsLegitGarage]

No unfortunately

[@lone_wolfe]

Can someone explain to me please. why do we need to Drill Two holes in the Valve cover ? would one not be enough to release the air pressure. it is not like a air return line because it ventilate the pressure to the atmosphere or m i wrong ?

[@SeemsLegitGarage]

It allows it to vent more and reduces air velocity which makes the catch can more effective at removing the oil.

[@lone_wolfe]

@@SeemsLegitGarage thanks for the clarification, do you get rid of the oil in the catch can or do you put it back in the engine ?

[@SeemsLegitGarage]

we get rid of it, its often diluted with fuel vapor which condenses and gets caught in the same can so returning it is basically diluting the oils viscosity @@lone_wolfe
