Thoughts on cyclonic CCV separator?
A local friend of mine has been running a BMW cyclonic CCV separator on his 1.9L diesel with good results. The separator is used by BMW on a 5L engine and they use two- one per cylinder bank. Inlet and outlet are 3/4", there is no internal filter media.
My CCV is stock but I've been thinking about a CCV mod when I rebuild the turbo.
Any thoughts on using this on the 7.3L? I'd rather not run multiples in parallel because that is too complex.
Here is a listing for the part: oil separator
BMW part number is: 11151705237

Are BMW running 2 because they just put a CCV on each head?
The issue is how restrictive it is. The cyclonic effect may be even more cyclonic with more displacement running through it. It's a cheap part. Put it on and hook up some sort of pressure gauge on the inlet or outlet pipe. Any restriction will show up as positive pressure meaning a fail - not too much money wasted to try it.
Would you catch the oil is a sealed container? If not we hit a recursive loop

I would run the drain to a catch can, BMW returns it to the sump.
Thanks for the replies everybody.
