How to Install a Catch Can Simplified

Today I am going to show you how to install a catch can on a BMW E36. The Process is similar on just about any vehicle using the same general principals.

In this install will delete the CCV (Crankcase Ventilation System) and replace it with a Catch Can. The Catch Can eliminates the problems associated with the Stock CCV that tends to get clogged up and send dirty oily air into the intake. Sometimes it can cause the engine to run rough and stumble. This upgrade will eliminate those issues and hopefully increase the life of our engine.

The hoses needed for the catch can need to be able to withstand vacuum and heat. I used a combination of heater and fuel hoses. Most parts stores will carry hose for pretty cheap and by the foot.

I would suggest bringing the fitting for the valve cover and the fittings from the catch can to make sure the inside diameter is correct. I had to exchange my hoses several times because of this.

IN from Valve Cover to Catch Can

7/8 Heater hose
5/8 Heater hose
Reducer 7/8 to 5/8

OUT from Catch Can to Intake

5/16 hose
