RB Turbo N54 PCV valves now available
Hey guys I get messages on these quite often and there's not much information on the valves or how to purchase on this forum, so I figured I'd put this info out there for those who maybe interested:

So this is basically a PCV valve from another make and a machined adapter to make it fit?
What is the replacement interval going forward with this? Will you give out the PCV valve part number or what model of car/engine this is off of so we can replace it going forward, or will we be required to buy another PCV from RB?

These are good questions. You are correct the PCV and Seal are adapted in from another application that I believed to be a better fit to be called an upgraded valve on this engine. The custom adapter I've made makes it to where it can be used on an N54 engine. All of the components are cleaned and then assembled using a sealant that makes them essentially one piece. However it would be possible to take time and clean up all of the surfaces and replace the internal components while reusing the adapter if so desired. This could end up taking some time, but some have more time than $$ and it could be of benefit to them.
On the note of replacement interval this is a PCV valve and overall engine health can affect when replacement is necessary. At times a thorough cleaning may be all you need, at other times a replacement would be prudent. All of that aside I'd personally recommend replacement at 50k mile intervals either way. Quote:

So, you sell rb turbos without being a sponsor for how long? Now, you are a silver level sponsor and you have multiple sell threads and products? If you are going to profit from the community, you should support it as well.

The Oil Catch Cans operate independently of the PCV valve and should not be affiliated with one another. My personal recommendation is to swap PCV valves at 50k intervals, some may say longer, some may say shorter. Ultimately PCV system health could lengthen or shorten the actual interval.

The check valve hose (about $25 new from the dealer) and the PCV valve are fairly cheap potential solutions to some problems out there. If in doubt, replace them and see if it helps out.

Wish I did. Too much of a language barrier for tech talk. Sorry buddy.
Just follow instructions provided from whatever you are running for whatever you have purchased I guess. Rob |

The check valve is integrated into the $25 hose (where the OCC's are installed). The PCV is located in the back of the valve cover under a screw on cap. They are in different locations, and work different functions in of the engine PCV system.

You still need it. With most OCC's you remove the hose and still use the valve and attached the OCC hose to it. The valve/hose can only be purchased as one part from BMW. |
