So i'm test fitting all the manifolds, hoses, ect. For final installation into my car and I ran into a problem. I bought the oil feed line/pipe from 915 racing and it seems either the pipe that connects to the front cover or the flex pipe that connects to the turbo is the wrong one maybe? Can anyone tell which of these items are the wrong one? This is and s4 13bt that i'm swapping into my gxl.

 

Looks like you have an S5 front cover. May have to make a custom piece as even using the S5 drain assembly wouldn't work since the turbo location is slightly different. But try one first and see.

 

S5 front cover!?!?!? I bought this engine bareblock and seller included front cover and some manifolds. Dammmm your right!!! what am I gonna do!!

 

Is there any negative to using s5 front cover on a s4? I rebuilt the engine so want to make sure o-ring on front cover will be o.k.

 

Could I use an s5 front cover oil feed pipe?

 

I belive you can.

I swapped a s5 turbo onto my s4 motor, but had to swap out the lines. Oil in and oil out, but I think the water lines were fine. If I remember correctly.

 

Thanks for the help.

 

But I don't have an s5 turbo, I have all s4 but front cover.

 

Just get an S5 drain and hold it up to see if it fits. You may have to make a custom unit though. But either way, making a custom one should be a sinch with an extra drain around as the pipes can simply be cut and welded together, or cut and joined with some high quality high temp silicone hose.

 

Thanks for the ideas, i really need them!!!
