Oil pipe question, 2.7s into 914-6 Options

[martin_UK914]

Evening all...

Asking on behalf of my brothers car... not mine alas...

Ok, so it was a '70 2.0L, and he did al the right stuff converting to a 6, like engine mounts, oil tank etc etc... all done properly.

Now, we have dropped in a 2.7s einspritzen motor... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) and obviously the oil pipes don't match up... the thread on the motor is different from the car.

Is there an easy fix for this or does someone make a pipe to suit?

Any help would be appreciated. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

If he installed a 65 - 69 2.0L six, the pipe size is 18 mm or something like that. The later six engines were 22 mm or something like that.

You need:

Outlet and inlet adapters for the oil tank which are available. You would then have to find hoses and connectors from the later model engine.

Your other choice is to take the scavenge pump fitting from an earlier engine and replace the one on the 2.7L with the earlier one and your hoses will fit.

Alternatively, you can change everything to AN hose and fittings with adapters for the tank and outlet of the engine.

I have a 2.7L in mine. I used the rear scavenge line from a 911, and then brazed industrial fittings on the the hard pipe, joined all of them with industrial hose, and brazed fittings on the oil tank of the appropriate size.

And I forgot about the on board oil cooler ... You just install the same cooler that was on the original small six on the 2.7L
