Remote Oil Filter

[Chris@Rvengeperformance]

did you just holesaw out a spot in the lower splash shield?

What I did there is probably not the most ideal setup. I am using a non-crossover block, so I had to do something like this. All it is is a mitsu oil filter housing drilled and tapped for the eye-bolts used on the stock oil cooler. I used the ends of the stock oil cooler hoses and some high-pressure, high-temp fuel line to connect everything. I did just cut a hole in the splash shield for the hose to pass through. I used a rubber grommet to protect it. You will want to use a hard line to route from the block around the belts for obvious reasons. I think I made the bracket to hold it, but the bolt holes are there for the oil cooler, so it wasn't too complicated. I have a front mount oil cooler before the filter. Downside to that is if my oil cooler clogs, my engine dies. I believe the normal housing has a relief valve for such an event. I take care of my oil though, so I'm not too worried.

Yeah you should probably improve the set up some but it seems you are on the right track with it. I see why you wanted the other thread to stay OT.

I'm surprised nobody posted this yet.

Canton Remote Filters

You can get canister style or screw on style. It might be a little pricey but this would be my choice if moving away from anything stock.

[Chris@Rvengeperformance]

doesn't meet most of my requirements

1. no affordable filters
2. no locally available filters
3. do not want canton
4. do not want non bypass, I'd rather have oil bypass the filter than not have pressure at all

I was just looking around on Summit and you can buy just the Canton oil filter plate for $65...from there there are a few options on the filter mounts, and of course whatever lines you'd want....I am thinking about $150-200 for a nice set-up if you piece it together yourself.

Good info.

I'm going to try the trans-dapt since it is about 1/4 the price of that.
