Forge Catch Can

[Snorlax27]

What’s up, hope everyone is doing well.

I wanted to know if anyone has any experience with the forge catch can and if there has been any issues with it. I’m not sold on Mishimotos catch can and am looking for a better alternative.

Planning on tuning down the line and would like to prevent oil build up in the charge pipes. Thanks!

@a90moe has one installed and I think there are no issues, mine is on the way as well.

Mishimoto is the only company doing it right though.. everyone else is placing the can on the top crack case breather which does nothing.

Looks like it did nothing or has little oil collected. Has the Forge can you have on functioned correctly?

As far as I know the place which Forge and Verus catch cans hook into that barely collects water/oil vapor, it is the CCV line that most of the oil goes through to both the chargepipe and intake. Unfortunately there are numerous reports that Mishimoto catch can is causing big clouds of white smoking coming out of the exhaust.

Will post findings after I rack more miles

It isn't without flaw.. mishimoto needs to have a better/ reliable solution.
My top mount catch can has collected zero since installed 7k miles ago.

So, does anyone have any set ups that actual catch oil?

Is there evidence that there is oil "leak" to begin with?

There are evidence that oil reaches the intake and chargepipe, there was some oil in the OEM intake when I removed it to replace it with Injen Evolution and mileage was 1,000 km.

yes. Every single time i have pulled my charge pipe off there was a significant amount of oil in there, even with the mishimoto can so i suspect a lot is coming from the pcv. This is common for the b58 in general. Many discussions on bmw forums with same issue pictured.

Just checking....
I read some bmw forums as well. It's b58abc, etc., pretty much similar to other bmw engines. Where are mishi and others failing at?

 

[Natek]

no, forget mishi, i am talking about oil in the charge pipe. They do not isolate if it is the ccv or pcv system but they all accumulate significant oil in the charge pipe

Interesting feedback..

I have never actually used a catch can before, but I do understand the concept behind it. I’m wondering if it’s even worth putting a catch can on if there’s still a substantial amount of oil still being found in the charge pipes.
