Description
Protect your MINI's turbocharged engine and intake system with the Neuspeed NM Engineering Billet Aluminum Catch Can, designed specifically for vehicles equipped with the N14 1.6L turbocharged engine. Carbon buildup is a known issue on these direct-injection motors, and this catch can system is your first line of defense to reduce blow-by contamination, preserve performance, and prevent costly maintenance.
This premium catch can is CNC machined from solid 6061 billet aluminum, then Type III hard anodized in stealth black for exceptional surface durability and a clean, OEM-like appearance. The system efficiently traps oil mist and moisture from the crankcase ventilation system before they can re-enter the intake tract—helping prevent the carbon buildup that plagues N14 engines and often leads to reduced power, misfires, and expensive intake cleaning procedures.
The NM Catch Can Kit includes a patent-pending locking clip system that secures billet adapters to the OEM plastic fittings. This design ensures a tight, reliable connection while allowing for easy installation with no modification. The system is fully serviceable—each component can be disassembled for routine cleaning and maintenance.
Additionally, the kit includes a choked plug for the rear PCV port, helping ensure optimal crankcase ventilation and catch efficiency.
