Has anyone ever had a custom oil line for the mivec? still planning on using the stock location and what. Just going to put a different fitting into the block and then run a braided line to the head. Anyone have any ideas??

Problems I see-
What about the little valve that is it the banjo bolt that screws into the block? Is this Valve really needed? I know I am not a Mitsubishi mechanic and have not put millions into the development of this part of the car so??

Any problems with too much oil flow going to the Mivec? Would extra just flow to the head and be no problem. I would think this is not really a problem.

Let me know guys, I am thinking of almost welding a fitting into the block that would be permanent, then running my line off of that to the head in a way to make it match up to the eye bolt.

 

bump for late night deep thinkers

 

On the head, it's not a valve, it is a housing for a small oil strainer. I personally would keep the factory hard line, unless I broke it for whatever reason. If you do replace, make sure to use 90 degree fittings to keep the line close to the block like the stock line.

 

I plan to keep that part of course, that's easy. I mean after the filter and such just the banjo and the eye bolt I would fab something or what. And yes keeping it close to the block as always

 

Then again, maybe its not really needed also, Humm
