oil catch can hose adaptors for Mini Cooper vehicles

thingiverse

Adding an oil catch can on a turbocharged engine helps prevent carbon build-up on the back of the valves and elsewhere in the intake system. On the R56 Mini Cooper motor the oil catch can is installed in the vent line between the valve cover and the turbo inlet (drivers side of the motor). Simply cut the line and install 2 of the 3 fittings provided with hose clamps (smaller end goes into a 5/8" heater line, the larger end goes into your cut vent line - not at the bends). I used the 180 degree model on the line from the can towards the turbo, and the 90 degree on the valve cover towards the oil can. The 110 model was made but I did not instal, depending on your oil can location and cut location the 110 may be needed. STL's thanks to Zacharylaynewilson. I printed with ABS, high resolution 0.2mm layer height and solid. Seems pretty darn strong. So far its worked fine. I may do a quick acetone finish to reduce any porosity if it seems to have any (maybe oil seeping out?).
