How deep was the oil and how long did he have it on for?

DrifterX · 03-07-2017, 12:25 PM

Mileage would help too.

Had the can on for 2k miles. Fresh oil change right before I put it on. At 12k now.

Any mods besides the intake?

not much oil in there it looks like mostly water/fuel.

seems like the pcv system is doing its job very well, I assume this is on the high load side only?

CruzM3 · 03-08-2017, 05:13 AM

The need for an OCC is minimal on the B58 and this just confirms it. while it has collected a little bit of oil I wouldn't say this is a must have.

BASELINE · 03-08-2017, 07:08 AM

I kind of had a feeling it wasn't a necessary mod in this car but I guess only time will truly tell.

I would have rather they invested time fab'ing a Turbo inlet pipe that worked with their intake gat deleted that dumb factory intake helmholtz resonator.

PeterA90 · 03-08-2017, 08:48 AM

It's a mix of water/oil. In the cold months that's normal. In warmer months it will just be oil. Its preventative maintenance in my eyes. It's such a cheap mod that it's a no brainer. I definitely recommend it for guys running meth.

Beek · 03-08-2017, 10:26 AM

Not sure I want that gunk hitting my intake valves or jamming up my intercooler. I agree with PeterA90, it seems like it might be cheap preventive maintenance. How much is BMW getting for a Walnut Blast these days?

PeterA90 · 03-08-2017, 12:20 PM

Regardless whatever it caught it's doing its job. Oil has anti octane properties. Also, if you plan on keeping the car it's a no brainer. People spend 3k and up for rims but 199 will set them back lol. Walnut blasting depends on the shop... 300-600. Maybe more not sure.

It's not just $199 as it doesn't work without the BMS intake so those of us that don't want there intake are out of luck. Main reason I don't like it. I hope someone else releases one tho as I don't think it's a must have but I would like to have one just to be on the safe side and I'm. running out of mods to do lol.

insanecoder · 03-08-2017, 01:58 PM

I dont want their intake either and inquired about the oil catch can..
was hoping B58 didnt have an issue with this but am considering a well built can from eBay for about $70.. problem is how to hook it up properly

PeterA90 · 03-08-2017, 03:13 PM

You can always get the eventuri intake as it will allow room to mount in the same place.

Hopefully it will fit around the Eventuri as that's what I plan on getting when it's released next month.

titium · 03-09-2017, 12:11 AM

I personally wouldn't play with the pcv system. it seems it's miles ahead of the problematic n54 system and even better then the improved system in the n55.

carbon buildup I dare say will be insignificant on the b58 - based on the improvement made from n54 -> n55.

shivaswrath · 03-09-2017, 10:46 AM

why don't the N55 engines have this issue?

Anything is better then the N54 system

Walnut blasts are up to about $1250 now so, yeah, this makes it an easy kill.
