Emissions System for BMW 3 Series E90 (2006-2011)

Connecting the cyclone oil separator to the engine valve cover, this hose is crucial for maintaining optimal engine performance. Over time, exposure to heat from engine components can cause the plastic hose to become brittle, resulting in cracks, tears, or splits. These issues can lead to vacuum and oil leaks, triggering a check engine light.

• High-quality replacement for BMW crankcase vent hose
• Ensures optimal engine performance
• Resistant to heat and wear
• Helps prevent vacuum and oil leaks
• Easy to install

Oil venting and circulation continues to be a problem on BMW engines and now even more so on the turbocharged N54 and N55 engines. The existing stock system does a very poor job of separating fluid and vapor and this leads to an oily film or even small pools of oil throughout the turbos and intake. We're seeing a lot more 135 and 335 cars with drivability and performance issues because oil has sneaked by the ring seals and is coating the intake piping, intercooler, intake valves, and other critical areas. The problem is worsened with higher boost levels. Oil is excellent for lubricating moving parts but terrible when it gets into the combustion chamber, effectively lowering the octane rating and reducing performance. Our own shop has gone the extra step and offers media blasting of the intake valves to strip away the oily buildup we have seen.

Our shop also strongly recommends an oil catch can be installed in the line for the crankcase vent. The oil catch can traps oil as it leaves the valve cover and holds it in a canister. Whatever minimal vapors are left over in the oil is then vented back through the canister and into the intake where it is safe to be burned up in the engine or recirculated back through the system again. This is the way the system was designed! At each oil change simply unscrew the canister and empty the trapped oil with your regular used oil. A dipstick is integrated into the cap so you can monitor the oil level. Installing one of these will avoid costly repairs in the future and help maintain your boost and performance. It's one of the smartest modifications you can make because it demonstrates a well-thought out tuning strategy and care for the condition of your engine.

The ECS Oil Catch Can is made from aluminum and with a stealthy black anodized finish. Multiple brackets are available so you're not limited on where to mount it. The location is key as heat will evaporate the oil and send too much vapor back into the engine (where cooler air will turn it back into fluid). The ECS OCC also has a factory-like appearance.

Note: Since the crankcase vent system is considered part of the overall emissions system, installing this may be a violation of local, state, and federal laws. While exemptions are made for track/race and off-road use, check with your local state inspection facility on using this in street-driven vehicles.

ECS Oil Catch Can Features:
+ Increases air intake efficiency
+ Promotes engine longevity
+ 4 chamber design promotes excellent air/oil separation
+ Large In/Out ports (no tapered sizes that slow flow)
+ Anodized black lightweight aluminum
+ Made in USA

This item fits the following BMWs with the N54 twin-turbo engine:
2008-2010 E82 BMW 135i
2007-2010 E9X BMW 335i 335xi
2006-2010 E60 BMW 535i 535xi

BMW N54 3.0L Billet Vacuum Relief Valve from Vargas Turbo Technologies offers precise control over crankcase vacuum levels. This high-quality billet valve allows users to adjust the vacuum pressure with ease, eliminating guesswork and ensuring optimal engine performance. By simply adding or removing shims, users can tailor the vacuum level to their needs.

• Customizable Vacuum Levels: Adjust the vacuum pressure using supplied shims to achieve desired performance.
• Direct Fit: Designed with -10ORB threads for easy installation into VTT modular PCV solutions and VTT Modular CNC valve covers.
• Versatile Settings: Includes 5 vacuum settings ranging from 10' to 18' of vacuum based on shim configuration.
• Enhanced Engine Protection: Helps prevent excessive vacuum that could affect engine seals or cause whistling.

Modern emission regulations require a closed PCV/Breather system for cleaner operation. However, inefficient oil particle capture can lead to excessive oil vapor ingestion, causing carbon buildup, reduced performance, and fuel economy. ECS Tuning's updated ECS Baffled Oil Catch Can, now with an easy-to-empty 1/4" drain fitting, is engineered to collect toxic blow-by gases, minimize carbon deposits, and reduce oil contamination within engine oil. Recirculating oil vapor ensures emissions compliance without venting to the atmosphere.

• Key Features:
• Highly Efficient Oil Separator: Strategically positioned 4 chamber baffle system maximizes oil/air separation and minimizes oil droplets in the intake tract.
• Integrated Dipstick: Knurled and black anodized oil dipstick simplifies oil volume inspection.
• Reservoir: Available in 6oz or 8oz capacity with a 1/4" NPT drain plug fitting.
• Serviceable: Easily removable baffle plates and drain plug for cleaning.
• Easy/Customizable Installation: Combine with the ECS Universal Bracket Kit for simplified installation and adjustable mounting locations.
• Leak-Free Fittings: Machined -10AN ORB (O-Ring Boss) fittings available for secure connections (fittings sold separately).

VTT is proud to announce a ground-up system designed to give the end-user complete control over their valve cover/ PCV set up. Tired of being told you will run two -10 lines from your VC to your Catch Can? So were we. Now you can run them any way you want, including complete VTA, oil cap one-way breather, etc.

Nothing on the market comes close to the versatility of this setup, and it truly is the ULTIMATE Valve cover and PCV combo.

This option allows you to purchase a ready-to-install kit with all fittings, hoses, check valve, etc for you to bolt on, and go.

Kit Break down is as follows:

Two Catch Cans

One N54 dual can bracket

Banjo Fittings

Vacuum Adapter fitting for Throttle body

Two Hoses from Valve Cover to Cans

Hose from Low side can to Vaccum Adapter fitting

VTA (Vent to Atmosphere) Breather

Inline Check Valve

NOTE This catch can kit is designed to work with the Vargas Modular Valve Cover only and is not compatible with a stock valve cover.

Restore the performance of your BMW M57 3.0L & N57 3.0L Engines with Turner Motorsport's Bosch Oxygen Sensor. If your engine is displaying an oxygen sensor check engine light, it's time to replace it with this high-quality unit. The oxygen sensor plays a crucial role in adjusting fuel mapping for reduced emissions and improved fuel economy by measuring the amount of unburned fuel in the exhaust pipe.

• Ensures proper fuel mapping for reduced emissions
• Improves fuel economy for better mileage
• Restores engine performance and efficiency
• Easy replacement process for quick restoration
• Application of anti-seize prevents thread seizing

Ensure your BMW's engine operates at its best with regular maintenance, as oxygen sensors tend to fail slowly over time.
