Description
The Mishimoto BMW N20/N26 Baffled Oil Catch Can Kit (MMBCC-N20N26-12CBE2) is a direct-fit, 2-port compact catch can engineered specifically around BMW’s direct-injection N20 and N26 engines. Machined from 6061-T6 billet aluminum and finished in a black anodized coating, the CNC-machined lid pairs a 50-micron bronze filter with internal baffling to separate oil from crankcase vapors before they reach the intake tract.
As one of the more overlooked components of an automobile engine’s crankcase ventilation circuit, an oil catch can intercepts oil-laden vapor long before it fouls sensitive parts of a car engine. Mishimoto built this kit to defend the intercooler, intake system, and VANOS system from oil blow-by, helping maintain proper octane levels to reduce potential detonation during automobile combustion. Unlike heated air-oil-separator systems that drain contaminants back into the oil pan, this catch can traps blow-by permanently and keeps it out of the engine, giving anyone shopping for engine parts for car maintenance a cleaner, more serviceable alternative among today’s car parts. Two CNC-machined aluminum 3/4in barb fittings connect the included direct-fit hoses to the can, and a direct-fit mounting bracket keeps this key engine part in a serviceable location without any modification to the engine cover.
