Quick 16G install question

[streetdsmpwr]

I am going to be installing my Evo III 16G into my 2G this weekend and I have all the necessary hardware to install it, including an SS oil feed line from the head, and I was wondering if I can use the plug on the head to plug the hole on the oil filter housing that will be there when I remove the stock oil feed line. If not, where can I find a good plug for it?

try your local hardware store, i find plugs there for various things.

This won't work, it must be a 3/8" BSPT plug and most hardware or car parts stores only carry NPT plugs. Go to your local dealership and order MD145018, thats the OEM 3/8" BSPT plug.

Ok, but do you guys know if the stock plug that's on the head will fit in the oil filter location? Is it the same size?

No.

Ok, thanks.

you could try going to the junk yard and pulling one from another car/truck i believe 1G's and the mighty max trucks have a similar oil filter housing mount you can pull from... 10mm allen wrench i believe...

I think I'm gonna head up to JNZ tuning and pick up that OEM plug, only 2 bucks.

Lucky you have a good DSM source so close.
