I put my own OCC system together over a year ago using the 42 DD can before BSH came out with their "complete" kit. IMO the 42 DD has a much better baffle design and in/out port arrangement. BSH's dual boost port was the final key to the puzzle making all crankcase crud go through the can. BTW, the BSH kit does not include the boost port. Had to make my own mounting bracket of sheet aluminum and used plastic hose fittings to make the connections. You don't need a dip stick to check the can. Just tap the can with a screwdriver to see how full it is. I put 42 DD's valve on the drain plug and drain the gack into a cup under the car. FYI: No OCC will completely stop the carbon fouling, just slow it way down. 24K down the hatch and it's working fine, but I still do a single Seafoam treatment about every 8K. Good Luck!

PS: That new FMIC is gonna love not being bathed in oil!

 

So any idea what universal accessories from 42D would be required to get it to fit and guess I need a fitment plate making up?

If the baffle design is better I like the idea of that but the BSH seems a ready made solution, just at a premium over here in the UK. The BSH stuff is the same price in £ as it is in $ for some reason where as the 42 DD stuff is not. Something if wrong there !!!

I may end up having to get everything from the US anyway.

 

Just purchased a BSH CC, but have the factory alarm. I see that the can can be mounted on the plastic firewall near the bonnet alarm switch, but I can not see a way to get my hand behind it to attach a nut to a bolt to hold a bracket.

Can anyone point me to directions or provide advice on attaching a bracket to this area.

Thanks!

 

I mounted mine to the same location as the alarm switch and it works just fine. I did have to get a longer bolt.

 

to get behind the plastic wall you need to remove the wiper arms(make sure you mark their at rest location w tape) and then the plastic cowls. Then you will have clear access.

 

That's exactly what I plan to do. Is there a trick to getting the bolt off?

 

To remove the sensor:
unclip the wire
carefully release the clip on each side of the sensor that holds it into the bracket and lift the sensor straight up. I used a jewelers screwdriver between the switch and bracket.
You now have full access to the screw holding the switch bracket.

I had to enlarge the hole in the bracket to fit the bolt.

 

Much appreciated...thanks.

 

Nice install!

i dropped the clip on the boost port, is it really necessary?

 

I would use it. It's simple peace of mind.

If you lost it, simply contact Justin at BSH to see if he can hook you up.

Best,

Excellent thread. I wish I read this last year. Have about 95K an had a cleaning done at the dealership, ~$750...Huge difference...drives like new. Did seafoam treatments but to no avail.

So this is a must mod for all!!!

 

Did you wind up putting a catch can on after your cleaning?

 

Thanks that helped a whole bunch

 

I believe it was a thread that was blocked. You might be able to find a cached copy doing a Google search

 

Thanks, gjn25 hooked me up. Original link is blocked but I now know what he was linking to and was able to read it through.

 

Will be on before the end of the month

 

Anyone have any pictures of the gunk their catch cans have caught?

 

Someday maybe -- if you guys ever offer a fitment for the N18...
