Been posting and lurking around here and thought I would create a thread on this graphite gray final edition 2023 E63s we got in June. Itll have a couple of quick changes over the holiday break that I am hoping to capture and escalate it quickly
Installed lowering mod already and the rest of these are soon to follow. Hopefully making this thread will help the procrastination a bit…
M177 LS2 Catch Can Install with detailed pics
New wheels coming up from NLWForged stuck in customs.
New PS4S’s came in as I had anticipated for the poor supply and yet it’s the TPMS from Germany that is an extra 10 day wait .
Uniden R9 to wire in
Uniden R7 as back up
Garmin overland gps
SDS100 Scanner
A second Lithium battery set up to hardwire onto
And I can probably pull some CETE module install pics for those in the care.
Its a Cete tap which doesn’t change a thing in the ecu ecm etc. It also retains features like return ride height to normal at certain speeds and therefore also allows lowering at slow speeds.
Install is simple and all the harnesses were provided and easily configured using your phone.
Because its a smart system the alignment has been pretty well straight as an arrow and has not needed to be touched.
Definitely just recycling photos at this point. AMG Hollowed Penta Style Wheels reminiscent of AC Schnitzers on the wagon looks so good. More photos to come. Wheels by NLWForged 👌
Got some word on a pretty cool update on the air oil separators with a teaser pic that was sent to me and now I’m relaying to everyone!
Photo below is part of the culprit causing crankcase pressures to rise as a possible contributor to RMS failures. Based on the oil throughout a used AOS sample it is not a great system and is very basic at how it operates. There was also quite a bit of oil in the used AOS that a catch can will be beneficial.
Further my FE has barely any signs of blowby which is a great candidate for the prototype CC! Makes sense since it has just barely passed the break in period! Here is a photo! Not sure what I’m looking at but looks to be a very simplistic fiber/filter media from the AOS
Well bit the bullet today to clean the new 63 Motorsports Hybrid PCV. It took all of 30 minutes since I am OCD and readjusted the bracket and clamps.
The tools I used and the job took all of 30 minutes from start to finish. I used an AN wrench so that I wouldnt marr up the fittings 😄
This is 1000 kilometers worth of driving in all conditions, comfort, sport, sport plus, some launches, and highway pulls. I wouldn’t wait too long to empty these as the evidence is clear in the photos. That’s a lot of oil separated out 😮
Steps:
1. loosen all AN lines
2. loosen Hybrid PCV cradle from brackets
3. carefully slide out the Hybrid PCV’s out of the brackets
4. empty the can, keep it upright to prevent spilling oil on yourself
5. clean and wipe everything off and install is reverse of removal!
Reinstalling everything is as you’d expect. There is zero room beneath the Hybrid PCV’s and they pretty much make use of the entire space they occupy. AMG is, as AMG does!
I am planning on carrying these four tools with me (or just a spanner with some painters tape) with the amount of oil these cans got! Photos:

That's a beautiful setup. Pulling that much oil into catch cans I think has the possibility of becoming problematic if you're not always monitoring it.
The last aftermarket catch can I ran was on a '05 GTO with a 6.0 LS2 (normally aspirated) and after around 5000 miles I would end up with about 2-3 ounces of oil in the can.
I know it's apples to oranges, but just thinking out loud here.

Agreed. I dont believe anyone knew what to expect. I probably got that much (3 ounces) in this maintenance.

I'm not an engineer by any stretch, but I would think a pressure activated check valve (like a PCV valve) on the catch can inlet would throttle the flow, but then the tricky part would be tuning the check valve to open before the oil has an opportunity to go through the separators, making the catch cans the path of least resistance.
I'm interested to see how this all pans out and I sure hope it can be a solid solution to the RMS failures.
Thanks for the feedback! We are definitely back on the drawingboard to perform minor tweaks that we can send out the pipeline. These are the reasons why we do small batch preproduction testing!

I think you guys are doing an awesome thing here. And it's definitely a great looking setup with high-end parts. Huge thumbs up here!
