Billet Oil Filter Housing Cap

[jbfrancis3]

Does anyone still readily offer a billet S54 oil filter housing cap? Many moons ago, I remember some members getting together on a forum to have these CNC'ed. I'm looking for the raw AL look. ECS has a "billet" cap but its black anodized and the style is different than what I am looking for.

Here's the only photo I could readily find. It was produced by MP Racing. I have messages them on Instagram

That's the one. They sure are!

I got one a few years back on M3forum.net from a member in Quebec. I believe his username was M klunk and I wish I had ordered a few more.

That’s it...MClunk.

Thanks guys. 'M clunk' did register on here originally and I sent him a message.

Negative. MP Racing was another lead that hit a dead end. You can see on mpracing.ca on instagram that he was gearing up to manufacture but has been non-responsive. I messaged with another member who believes MP Racing lost his access to a CNC machine. May be worth sending an IG message and see if he responds.

Hey guys!

Would there be any interest if I was to start producing these?
I would also be offering a version with ports for oil temp & pressure lines.

I would definitely be interested

The oil filter cap would be the wrong place to take a temp and pressure reading.

There's already an M12x1.5 port on the back of the oil filter housing for a pressure sender. I run an AN6 line from that port to a pressure sender for a gauge and a pressure switch which activates a siren inside of the car at < 20psi.

I think the ideal location is welding a bung in the witch's hat on the bottom of the oil pan, offset from the center so it doesn't interfere with the oil pump pickup. But the OE oil temp gauge is accurate and an aftermarket gauge is mostly redundant.

What's your oil pressure at hot idle? Mine is definitely < 20psi.

Spec for oil pressure at idle is 0.7 bar or 10.3 psi.
