Description
The Mishimoto MMBCC-Q50-16PBE is a direct-fit catch can kit engineered specifically for the twin-turbocharged VR30DDTT car engine found in the 2016-2024 Infiniti Q50 and 2016-2022 Infiniti Q60 3.0T. Rather than a generic universal fit, this compact 2-port catch can was designed around the tight confines of the Q50/Q60 engine bay to intercept oil and fuel vapor before it fouls the intake valves of this direct-injection, twin-turbo car engine.
High compression, twin turbochargers, and direct injection make the VR30DDTT one of the more advanced car engines on the road, but that complexity also leaves the intake tract vulnerable to oil blow-by and carbon buildup. Mishimoto’s component-based engineering approach mounts the catch can in line with the factory PCV system, routing crankcase vapor through a 50-micron bronze filter while an internal air diverter increases turbulence to separate oil and fuel particles from air before it re-enters the intake. By keeping these particles off the intake valves, the kit helps reduce carbon buildup, helps maintain proper octane levels to reduce potential detonation, and protects the components of an automobile engine responsible for clean, consistent combustion. It’s a practical way to defend the parts of a car engine most exposed to blow-by without altering how the engine was designed to run.
