Race tested an proven oil cooler connection system for the M50, S50, S52 series engines.

Design features include:
-8AN o-ring ports to provide a leak free fitting without the use of Teflon tape or sealant used by other oil cooler caps.

Viton o-rings are used throughout to maintain function and sealing in a high temperature oil environment.

Use of the stock filter cap bolt to reduce cost and simplify installation.

An internal sealing mechanism to direct oil flow through the oil cooler and through the filter.

1/8" NPT side port for external oil pressure gauge.

The cap is machined from 6061-T6 billet aluminum and hard coat anodized for scratch resistance and to keep the oil cooler cap looking good for years.

To the best of our knowledge, this is the only oil cooler cap available with an actual sealing mechanism to direct the oil flow through the cooler lines and then through the oil filter. Other cooler caps do not provide this seal and therefore the external oil coolers and lines act as a "balloon". The lines and cooler are pressurized, but oil does not flow through them. Flowing oil means it is being cooled and not just acting as an external reservoir.

We have run an oil cooler cap flow comparison testing with a Hedland 0-5.5 GPM flow meter. The difference in FLOW between our oil cooler cap, the euro M3 oil filter housing, and the competition was astounding!

Recent flow testing shows that the oil cooler cap will outflow the Euro M3 Oil Filter Housing by more than 80% as the same, pressure, RPM, and oil temperature. That is a huge difference in flow. In the upper RPM range, there is nearly a 100% improvement in flow from the RallyRoad oil cooler cap when compared to the Euro M3 oil filter housing. This is a worthwhile and cost effective upgrade.

Each oil cooler cap assembly also comes with a lower filter sealing ring and a new BMW MANN Oil Filter Kit.

This Remote Oil Sensor Manifold is designed to facilitate the installation of Oil Pressure or Temp sensor/s.

Originally designed so that the S14 owner can send oil to this manifold, install an aftermarket gauge and still maintain the OEM "emergency oil pressure" dummy light- it had become popular as a quasi-universal item.

Popular on cars that read artificially higher oil temps at the sensor due to the location of the exhaust manifolds or other issues.

•(1) 1/8 NPT Inlet
•(2) Sensor holes: 1/8 NPT + 12x1.5 Metric

This manifold is designed for easy installation with two mounting holes to sheet metal.

Notes:
•Sensors and fittings are sold separately.
•(Due to the fact oil doesn't flow through this type of manifold, Oil temp is not a recommended use for this piece, pressure is ideal).

An excellent upgrade for those who race or have a modified / Forced induction engines, this is the best OE style oil pump available anywhere.

Lubrication issues are a common killer of BMW engines. The dual-pickup pump is much better than standard single pickup but this pump is a dramatic improvement over both.

This oil pump starts with an OEM housing (either supplied by you, or as a core from us at extra cost) that is expertly modified to provide higher volume and improved reliability over stock.

Effective lubrication is critical to all high performance engines, especially the high specific output S54 & S50. The S54 especially, with its narrow rod bearings is sensitive to oil starvation and bearing failure. Assuring that your engine will not fail due to a poor lubrication is crucial during all operating conditions.

This pump features two important upgrades:

1) Engineered using the Oil Pump Upgrade reinforcement kit ( as featured elesewhere in this section) integrated in it's design; giving a stronger gear drive mechanism for much lower likelihood of the common pump failures on the track or hard road use.

2) Fitted with custom gear set with a larger sweep area to the pump mechanism, increasing volume by 22%.

Important Notes about this Service:
A good used or new oil pump is required for this conversion service. Therefore there are 3 options:

1 – We send you a new OEM BMW Oil Pump with the high volume converson and oil pump upgrade kit installed., and charge you extra the cost of this new core pump, in addition to the cost quoted on this page for the actual upgrade service.
2 – You send us your OEM BMW S54 or S50B32 Euro Oil Pump ahead of time and we perform the upgrade on your pump
3 – Occasionally we have a stock of good reconditioned S54 pumps that we can perform the service to, which is good if you don’t want to buy a brand new pump, please enquire.

PLEASE CALL US TO DISCUSS YOUR REQUIREMENTS.
