OCD Works Billet Valve Cover

Any updates on this?

I emailed them and for the sounds of it, it'll be a while.

Scott contacted me to clarify, the weights given are before machining. So those are the raw materials he is talking about. The machine unit will certainly weigh much less. I've updated the article to reflect this.

Why would those weights even be given?? Seems a bit irrelevant... Unless it closely resembles unit weight

I think because if they look up a 150 pound aluminum stock most people might be surprised at the cost.

Makes sense

Emissions is the only reason you want vacuum at idle too. No reason you need it other than that.

Um what? This could not be any further from the truth. Remove vacuum at idle from a car like an 2.3L ecoboost, see what happens. I can tell you, its not an increase in emissions. Its oil usage, smoke at idle, etc. You NEVER want pressure in the crankcase EVER. Applying vacuum to the crankcase is beneficial in ALL situations. At idle it allows proper oil draining, venting of crankcase gasses that aren't being pulled by inlet vacuum. Under boost applying vacuum, or at least giving ALL the pressure a place to escape, not only allows the motor to make more power, its easier on all components, and allows proper draining for the turbos. You think people add belt driven vacuum pumps to scavenge the crankcase on big power race cars because it doest't do anything? You should fact check before posting something that is incorrect.

Updates?

Man....this could be big. Wonder if it will have a vac pump port. Really want to see this thing.

 

[TurboMike]

I wonder if this will be released

 

[doublespaces]

I think it will. They were just busy with PRI. I'll reach out to them again.

Bump

They responded to me today and said they are still working on it, and they are doing cnc programming for the N54 simultaneously. I suppose this means they are programming the CNC as they design it, but I'm not sure.

 

[Erichale77]

That's good to hear

 

[lamia2super]

i wonder how long it'll be until we have a real update

 

[doublespaces]

I got another response from Scott:

We are working on cnc heads for N54 currectly. Then valve cover and catch can together.

So it looks like there may be a new head option coming in addition to a valve cover pcv/occ solution.

 

[Erichale77]

Nice

 

[TibriDotCom]

*waiting patiently*

 

[J_hynson]

I'm in if it has ports for vacuum as well as a option to get rid of the pcv passageways that aren't used when plugging head

Any update?

Really nice
