Oil Filler Pipe Relocation

[dave205 19]

Hi all, ive been looking into a possible new engine build, but one thing i'd have to move/get over would be to move the oil filler pipe that goes between the filler tower and the block. The engine block im refering to is an XU10 either a gti-6 one or turbo engine block.

 

Any advice appreciated!

which head are you going to use?

[dave205 19]

Probably the 8v turbo one, why's that?

With a 8v metal cam cover you can make this:

 

 

The cap can be found on ebay. (Not my engine btw)

Has anyone done this to an Mi cover?

[welshpug 1,661]

I remember seeing late 8 valve engines with a plastic cam cover with an oil filler.

It's easily done to the XU10J4 cover, but not the XU9J4 as it's magnesium.

I am going down this route, just trying to get my head round how to simplify/route the breather system.

Thanks for the pictures, there good and looks like a smart job.

 

Baz:

Let me know if you have any joy! Pics aswell please

I do this to my race engine I build all the time, I end up with just one pipe from the block and cam cover and can fill the engine from the pipes aswell. Very neat and clean once done to the engine

Sounds good, do you have any pics etc?

[crossflow 2]

No don't have any pictures but can supply kits for MI16 and S16 engines and gti6 engines aswell. Could do a 8v version aswell Would do a group buy if enough people are interested.

is it possible to fit one of these to an 8v turbo engine + keep the original too just to help the engine breathe more?

[dave205 19]

Genuine question now, if that cap is on that filler neck and its tight, how will it breath in anyway?

[welshpug 1,661]

through the standard breather pipes.

[dave205 19]

Yeah i know that, but i thought what johnny is saying, will it further increase the breathing?

[wicked 103 3 Cars]

No, it's a closed cap...

[dave205 19]

No, it's a closed cap...

 

Exactly! So it will in no way aid engine breathing.

[Richie-Van-GTi 72 2 Cars]

Exactly! So it will in no way aid engine breathing.

But the topic is not about the engine breathing, its about filler relocation. Exactly what that picture is showing.

Jeez...i know that but that cap will not aid breathing in ANY way

That was an awesome race,what a win,will be searching for some more on youtube .

[jonnyturbo 3]

whats the need to move it anyway dave? also is it possible to create a breather on the rocker cover similar to that oil filler cap but open to breathe? maybe been done before and someone has a picture?

[dave205 19]

Im looking into fitting a supercharger and the pipe would need to be moved and the hole blanked off. I think i will do something similair to that picture.
