Product Description:

M7 Speed proudly presents the Limited Edition Turbo Heat Shield for all Gen 2 Turbocharged 1.6-liter MINI Coopers. This exclusive release features the same top-selling heat shield, now in a custom Hacienda Wrinkle Red powder coat finish. Perfectly complementing the limited edition MAXX Flo intake system also available in this striking red finish.

This new color has gained popularity among young tuner enthusiasts, adding a vibrant touch under the hood and a distinct WOW effect for MINI owners aiming to stand out. Made in the USA from 0.09in [2.2mm] heavy gauge aluminum material, CNC laser cut, and CNC formed, this heat shield ensures consistently high quality. Lined with ceramic thermal insulation on the underside, it minimizes heat transfer to the hood and top side of the engine compartment, proven effective even on professional race cars subjected to extreme heat.

Features and Benefits:

• Fits both the N14 and N18 MINI 1.6-liter turbocharged engines.
• Open design allows heat to escape down and away from the turbo, enhancing heat rejection through radiator airflow.
• Ceramic thermal insulation reduces heat transfer, preserving the engine bay, hood, hood scoop, and hood graphics.
• Simple DIY installation, mounting directly to the engine at easily accessible factory holes.
• All necessary mounting hardware included, with a 15-30 minute installation using basic hand tools.
• Adds a finished look to the engine compartment, enhancing the WOW! effect.
• Acts as an additional layer of protection for the hood and hood scoop, used alongside the factory turbo heat shield.
• PROUDLY MADE IN THE USA.

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.
