N55 Catch Can

Mike@N54Tuning.com · 06-01-2012, 08:22 PM

BMS has finally released their N55 oil catch can kit. It uses the same can as the N54 kit, only with a special anodized aluminum bracket and machined PCV adapter. While the N55 generally has less blow by than the N54, partly because it doesn't generate as much power output, they have seen oil coating chargepipes and managed to catch quite a bit of garbage.

Here are some pics for those interested...

How hard is it to unscrew the can to check contents? The way the unit is located in the n55 engine bay it would appear difficult to remove the can.

Not nearly as tough as the location on the N54!

I like this and have been waiting to get one of these for my n55. Question though - why do you leave the heater wire D unplugged? Is the heater removed? It would seem sensible to me to allow that item to do its job as intended, catch can or not.

Thanks!
