"Forum experts and social hysteria" say an OCC is not needed but we beg to differ. Baffles are met to redirect flow within a closed chamber. (less than 1 CFM) At these extremely low flow rates baffles would not separate mist. Baffles are not required because the airflow within the PCV system is very low. Test results show up to 95% of the oil is removed from the PCV system with the M7 system in place. The cleaned airflow is then directed out of the OCC system and into the intake hose for recirculation. Gravity then pulls the heavy drops out of the flow stream and into the reservoir for collection. This system combines the small mist droplets coming from the engine crankcase into larger and heavier drops. Oil separation is accomplished inside the can using coalescing separation technology. It uses the factory tab located on the firewall. NOTE: This kit will fit on the firewall directly behind the outlet of the stock or aftermarket airbox. Installation is super easy.no drilling and no special tools are needed. All warranties, product application, fitment,Īnd performance are the responsibility of ECS Tuning.įor additional information see the terms of use.The NEW & IMPROVED Oil Catch Can kit for MINIs equipped with the N14B engine comes with a "designed-to-fit" stainless steel bracket, mounting hardware and pre-assembled hoses. *The above product applications have been written byĮCS Tuning.

Silicone hoses will will eventually deteriorate and make an absolute mess of your engine compartment. Beware of other "low cost" catch can systems that use silicone hoses because oil and silicone are not compatible. The hoses are high quality "Made in the USA" automotive grade designed to withstand the rigors of the under-hood environment and to not degrade when exposed to oil. The design includes an oil drain plug and an easy to view sight tube which indicated the oil level within the can. The M7 Oil Catch Can is not only functional is a work of automotive performance ART! It is CNC machined from billet aluminum and adds a sharp look to your engine compartment.Īll hoses, brackets, clamps, necessary fittings and easy to follow detailed step-by-step instructions are available on this page in.

Eliminate intake tract oil contamination and intave valve damage.

Stainless steel bracket and mounting hardware.

Now with our exclusive "Exact-Fit" pre-assembled hose kit and brackets installation is super-easy. The breather tube connects directly to you intake hose and directs this oily mess back through your engine to be burned. If you don't think your engine is pumping oil back through your intake system, remove the breather tube and look at all the oil!. This oil film & sludge can appear in other critical places throughout the engine- such as the intercooler- where clean surfaces are critical for maximized heat transfer and on your MAF sensor (Mass Air Flow) where the film will cause the sensor to send a false signal to your ECU killing performance.īy capturing excess oil vapor and particles, the M7 Oil Catch Can ensures that oil film and sludge will not become a factor in your vehicle's performance. The end result is loss of power and a very expensive repair bill. Now all the oil blow-by burns onto the intake valves and builds up into a flow choking hydrocarbon mess. Because the 2007 & up MINI is direct injection the intake valves do not benefit from the cleaning action provided by the gasoline as in older port injection engines. With the M7 Oil Catch Can, your MINI Cooper's engine will be protected from excessive oil and hydrocarbon buildup which leads to performance-hindering oil film and sludge along your intake tract, on your engine control sensors and on your engine's intake valves.

Why do so many MINI owners suffer from carbon buildup on their intake valve? The answer is oil being recycled through the intake tract to be burned. NOTE: This kit has been redesigned to fit on the firewall directly behind the outlet of the airbox. The newly updated R55 through R57 Oil Catch Can kit for MINIs equipped with the N12 or N14 engine comes with a "designed-to-fit" stainless steel bracket, mounting hardware and pre-assembled hoses.
