oil filter adapters that REPLACE OE shit (KA) - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

*NemeGuero* · 11-18-2008, 03:20 PM

I want to do an oil cooler setup but I want a sandwich adapter that REPLACES the OE filter thingamajig.

So I want one that bolts straight to the block.

Tomei makes an SR one..

any for KA?

zaquanh · 11-18-2008, 03:22 PM

circuit sport makes for the sr too i dont think ive ever seen one for the KA

*ManoNegra* · 11-18-2008, 08:06 PM

funny you mention it
it's on the list of things Mike and I have been
meaning to make at point or another.
maybe after we finish the project we're currently working on.

*NemeGuero* · 11-19-2008, 08:19 AM

Huuurrryyyy uuuppp!

I've got the block naked and want to reassemble!

Om1kron · 11-19-2008, 08:44 AM

I hate to say it, but search... the ka block has the same thread pitch as a ford or gm cooler, you can order the sandwich adapter you're looking for from jegs... I dont necessarily have a link for you but i'm sure some searching on ka-t.org should find your answer.

That's all i'm giving you.

I said REPLACES oem unit.

Yes, one with 4 bolt holes, not a thread pitch.
Thanks

Make one, get a block of aluminum, take it to a machine shop and "copy" the stock one, with fittings. OR make the stock one work, cut out the threaded portion weld on a -10 fitting and drill out the return to the block and weld on an -10 fitting

240trainee · 11-19-2008, 09:24 AM

Yea, I don't think you have any off the shelf solutions.

They work awesome for an SR BTW.

lol.

I don't have a machine shop or I'd do it myself.

I miss the Berkeley machine shop..

Eat my peepee!! haha

Sir · 11-20-2008, 01:02 AM

I don't remember how it is on KA, but on SR you got 2 holes: in and out. The "budget" solution could always be to tap them to NPT and use NPT to AN fittings.

*ManoNegra* · 11-20-2008, 08:11 AM

tease, tease, tease....

10AN?
8AN?
Sensors?

LongGrain · 11-20-2008, 08:16 AM

keep the primary inlet and outlet -10.

and leave 2 ports for an oil temp and oil pressure, i'm not sure what size those need to be though.

1/8" NPT seems to be pretty much the standard

unless you're talkin about JDM gauges, which use BSPT if i recall correctly

LongGrain · 11-20-2008, 08:21 AM

word, tomei uses 1/8" npt for the sensor ports.

*NemeGuero* · 11-20-2008, 08:24 AM

HEY! Back off! Its mine! hahaha

I brought mine in to work today so I could CAD it up.
Guess you're already on it.

When is estimated completion date, Juan Valdez?

*ManoNegra* · 11-20-2008, 08:30 AM

That my dear friend, is the million dollar question....
We got two new cars to work on
starting on a motor rebuild
about to swap a motor on a car for a guy
a previous project we're still trying to figure out
and on top of that we work 11 hour days...

honestly, I'm still learning the job and I'm no machinist
If I had the skills, believe me, things would get done a lot sooner

but the boss man tells me this is a pretty simple thing to do
we just gotta take the time and get off our asses
so, soonish I hope

*NemeGuero* · 11-20-2008, 09:08 AM

Anything I can do to help?

I'll come in and work for free tomorrow. haha
I miss the smell of cutting oil and hot metal.

Mmm metal shards.

PS. I've got my block bare. Just need to find a head and order my pistons. PM me that shop's info.

*ManoNegra* · 11-20-2008, 09:21 AM

You can come and wash/vacuum my car... and make me a sammich!
lol

*NemeGuero* · 11-20-2008, 09:29 AM

No me chinges..

chuy · 11-20-2008, 10:29 AM

Did you make it yet?

*ManoNegra* · 11-20-2008, 04:43 PM

is that metric!??
get that shit outta here, this is America!

Been busy with regular boring type work.
Maybe will work on it some more tonight.

*NemeGuero* · 11-20-2008, 05:17 PM

It is metric. Japanese use Metric!

in fact, we are the only retards not using metric. (i think)

Lets use a base system where we have to count to 12 instead of intervals of 10.. you know, like how many fingers we ahve!

WORK ON IT!! haha, I'm piston shopping as we speak.

SochBAT · 11-20-2008, 05:23 PM

Mano, what do you do? Engineer?

i want to engineer things.

So I've been looking around for Oil Coolers, and it seems the KA's get no love, So I figured I'd go on a little mission to put a Kit for use guys together. Also every other Oil Cooler kit I've seen has either been approaching the $300 mark or exceeding it, so I decided to try and keep it under $200, which I think I did a fair job at. I Do not plan on making a write up on the install as I will not be purchasing the kit anytime soon. But if you may, you could purchase the kit and complete a write up.

Earl Oil Cooler Core (Comes w/ Mounting and -8 AN Fittings): $75
Perma Cool Oil Adpt. Sandwich 3/8 NPT In/Out (3/4-16" Is the Block Side Oil Nipple): $32
Summit Racing 3/8 NPT to -8 AN Adpt. (2x): $6 - Price Includes 2x
Summit Racing 90* Elbow -8 AN Hose End Fitting (Oil cooler Side - 2x): $30 - Price Includes 2x
Summit Racing Straight -8 AN Hose End Fitting (Oil Adpt. Side - 2x): $14 - Price Includes 2x
Summit Racing -8 AN SS 6ft.: $27
__________________________________________________ ___________________________

Total: ***** $184 *****

I don't think help but hey.
