Oil Filter Relocation,Oil Cooler and Turbo oil feed

[richmond82]

Previously my setup was routed like this.

1. Stock oil block plate with Oil Filter
2. Oil feed from BLock (turbo side) going into my oil cooler
3. out of oil cooler to turbo ATP Restrictor feed line
4. out of turbo returning to block

Wanted to setup like this-

1. Oil block adapter to oil filter relocation
2. out from filter relocation to oil cooler
3. from oil cooler to turbo
4. from turbo back to block.

?'s that i have on this

1. Do i plug the oil feed (from block to oil cooler currently) ?
2. what about the oil that is to return through the stock filter plate ?
3. IF i am using the Tomei Block adapter do i just block off the return port and use the oil out only ?

(when you take off the filter plate there is a feed and return port/hold in block)
any advice given is appreciated

Sorry for the Shit Pix was hoping to give a visual to go with the questions asked

Why the hell do you have an oil cooler in between the engine and the turbo?!?! You need to route the line after the cooler back into the sandwich block on the engine.

I do not. I was asking if this is the proper way to route with the added relocation kit/adapter plate.

Your comment answers the question. So the turbo will continue to use the lower Feed port from the block (turbo side)?

Oh my.

I don't even know what to say about the oil cooler inline with the turbo feed, I really can't believe anyone would set that up, pictures please?

so far ive gotten two messages on this. Both of them were like "Woooaaahhh, what the hell? " Someone please drop proper setup education here so i can learn what the correct routing of lines is. From my understanding it goes.


IF using the Tomei Block adapter

1. filter block out to oil filter relocator
2. from filter relocator to oil cooler
3. out of oil cooler back to filter block

For Turbo

1. oil feed from block to turbo
2. turbo back to block

Leave the turbo lines to where they're supposed to be. Leave the turbo oil lines alone. Basically, oil feed line from the block to the turbo and let the turbo drain naturally.

You routing the oil cooler in between the oil filter relocation back to the turbo would mean you're gonna squeeze ALL your oil thru the damn turbo. Fastest way to kill everything in your car (TURBO AND ENGINE).

Like I said, route it from the oil filter block to the oil filter relocation block, to the oil cooler, then back to the oil filter block. Run the turbo oil feedline straight to the turbo. Even your current setup is baaaaaad idea. There is no need to have an oil cooler inbetween the turbo and the block, pretty much defeats the purpose of a cooler since you're only cooling the oil going to the turbo and not thru the whole engine.

Cold oil is not good for the engine since the oil is thick like molasses. With a pass thru to the oil cooler, it'll take a while for that oil to get up to temp.

This is the setup my sponsor had put together for me. Thank you for the info, now i am on the hunt for a Thermostatic filter block. Greddy makes a few, trying to get a good deal on one
