35d: adding crankcase breather oil separator

[daytonatrbo]

@ZetaTre,

When I made comments about trying to offer the plate, I did not realize you had already started a thread gaging interest. If you are still pursuing that, I will gladly cease and desist with my offers.

I tried to message him about the plate one time and he didn't reply back. So I guess he didn't push through with the project or only made a few plates.

But in case you will have one built, make it two I will buy the other one

Ok. I need to order in the pent-screw bits so I can take it off safely. Then I need to get drawings made and send them to my guy to quote.

Am I to understand that these pieces:

RealOEM.com - Online BMW Parts Catalog

cannot be reinstalled after this mod? Or do they require modification themselves to fit?

Modification to item 6 only I believe.

Wishful thinking to make my life easier

In all seriousness a full kit would be more enticing for someone to purchase knowing that no additional research would be needed in getting the remaining parts. Also it would be easier for shops to install as well. I'm not sure what the total cost of this upgrade would be but if more people were aware of the benefits I'm sure more and more diesel owners would jump on board if marketed correctly.

I developed a product of my own for the E39 platform and it's crazy how it blew up and now available worldwide. The great thing is now I just manufacture and don't have to worry about distribution.

Zetatre or sgrice, can you guys send a picture of what the dipstick attachement looks like? I'm having trouble envisioning how it's put together. I don't understand your earlier post about cutting the T, saddle, epoxy, etc. The outlet from the ProVent and the oil on the bottom both drain back to the oil dipstick is that correct?

Did you see this post? Specifically, this photo shows the copper T hugs (saddles) the dipstick tube. To make it a saddle, the tee will have to lose the bottom of the 1" tube, to make it look like this, with 1/2" opening untouched:


Pay attention to orientation of the 1/2" opening of the tee in relation to dipstick tube.

Zetatre/sgrice, is there a functional reason i should not just cut the plastic tube coming out of the oil separator on the valve cover and connect the ProVent input hose there, not drill holes in the ProVent, and then run the ProVent out hose back to the other end of the plastic tube that connects before the turbo inlet? Basically just replacing the black plastic breather tube on the valve cove with the un-modified ProVent?
