Oiling System

Elevate your custom installation with the ECS -10AN O-Ring Boss fitting, a crucial component that connects your ECS Tuning Catch Can to a 3/4" ID hose. This fitting simplifies your plumbing setup, ensuring a seamless solution.

Featuring a pre-installed Viton O-ring, this fitting is engineered for excellence, providing a leak-proof seal that resists the effects of oil and fuel exposure, guaranteeing long-term durability.

The 3/4" nipple is thoughtfully designed with barbs to secure hose position effectively, minimizing the risk of hose disconnection. Keep in mind that clamps and hoses are available for separate purchase. These fittings are sold individually, with most installations requiring a pair of them.

A beautiful addition and durable upgrade for your engine

Tired of staring at that bright red plastic oil dipstick? Waiting for a way to add a nice touch to your engine bay without going over the top? ECS Tuning is proud to announce the billet aluminum oil dipstick! Designed to OE specifications with an easy-to-read fill line, offered in three different finishes. Available in black, polished, or clear anodized, we have an offering for every type of enthusiast. Not only does it look better, but also performs better. Because of the durability, it is easier to insert than the factory ribbon dipstick. So, no more fighting with your dipstick to re-install it.

Upgrade your stock oil cooler thermostat for improved performance. Swap out your existing cover with ease, replacing it with a durable billet cover. Upgrade from your 110-degree Celsius thermostat to a new 70-degree Celsius version for faster oil flow and extended temperature control. With oil temperatures reaching 230 degrees Fahrenheit by the time your factory thermostat opens, initiating oil flow at lower temperatures proves more effective than attempting to cool down already elevated temperatures.

Utilizing a factory-style thermostat, this upgrade can be used in all weather conditions and allows your engine to warm up properly unlike thermostat bypass kits.

Ditch the failure-prone plastic housing with this upgraded aluminum oil filter housing, built for strength, reliability, and peace of mind.

The factory plastic housing is a well-known weak point and a common source of oil leaks on BMW B58 engines. Once leaks develop, replacement is the only solution. Left unchecked, even minor oil loss can lead to premature engine wear, or in the worst cases, catastrophic failure.

This upgraded housing not only solves the problem with a durable aluminum construction, but also comes complete with caps and seals for a straightforward, hassle-free installation.

Protect your engine from unnecessary risk, upgrade your filter housing, and ensure a leak-free, long-lasting seal.

The lower sprocket gear, situated at the engine's bottom, mounts to the crankshaft and is commonly replaced during timing chain modifications for Mini engines. This critical component ensures proper timing and synchronization within the engine system, contributing to efficient and smooth engine performance.

• Essential for timing chain modifications
• Mounts to the crankshaft at the engine's base
• Ensures proper engine timing and synchronization
• Contributes to efficient engine performance

Enhance Your Mini's Drivetrain Longevity with ECS Tuning's Magnetic Plugs

Safeguard your Mini's drivetrain by using ECS Tuning's Magnetic Plugs, meticulously designed to eliminate abrasive metal particles from your fluid. These plugs, featuring permanent magnets, effectively attract and retain tiny abrasive and ferrous metal particles, preventing their circulation within the lubrication systems.

Various conditions, including normal wear of moving parts, inadequate post-machining flushing, casting flaws, or stress-induced component breakdown, can introduce metal particles. ECS Tuning's Magnetic Plugs are the solution, ensuring protection for crucial drivetrain components by capturing these particles.

• Removes abrasive metal particles for improved drivetrain longevity
• Engineered with permanent magnets for effective particle capture
• Guards against wear caused by metal particles in the lubrication system
• Includes 10 copper crush washers for replacement during oil service

The turbocharger oil supply line is one of the most common failure points on N14 and N18-equipped R5X MINIs. Responsible for delivering a steady stream of pressurized oil to the turbocharger’s center housing (CHRA), this line keeps the turbo’s bearings properly cooled and lubricated. Unfortunately, its location directly alongside the exhaust manifold and catalytic converter exposes it to extreme heat. Over time, this heat causes the oil inside the line to harden or “coke,” creating a permanent restriction that starves the turbo of vital lubrication.

MINI attempted to address this issue by adding a retrofit heat shield to N14 models, but the problem continues to plague MINI owners. Furthermore, the OEM banjo bolts rely on copper crush washers that become brittle and warp under heat, leading to persistent oil leaks at the back of the engine.

To eliminate these issues, ECS developed a high-performance replacement for the factory turbocharger oil feed line (11657534454). Built from premium stainless steel braided -4 AN hose and engineered to withstand the harsh thermal environment of the N14/N18 engine bay, this upgrade ensures consistent, dependable oil delivery. A PTFE inner lining provides exceptional chemical and temperature resistance, while black zinc–coated fittings and banjo bolts offer improved corrosion protection and long-term sealing. The result is a durable, leak-free solution that outperforms the factory design in every way.

Features:

-4 AN stainless steel braided hose eliminates the OE swivel fittings for superior sealing and consistent oil flow

PTFE inner lining delivers outstanding chemical and temperature resistance

Black-anodized aluminum AN fittings offer improved durability and a refined appearance

Black zinc–coated banjo bolts resist corrosion for a long-lasting repair

Includes four new crush washers to ensure proper sealing during installation

Whether you're fixing an oil leak or performing preventative maintenance, choose the ECS upgraded turbocharger oil feed line for lasting durability and leak-proof performance.

Meet modern emission regulations while preserving engine performance with the ECS Baffled Oil Catch Can. Designed for BMW and MINI vehicles, this system efficiently captures blow-by gases, preventing excessive oil vapor ingestion into the intake tract.
