oil filter adapters that REPLACE OE shit (KA) - Page 5 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

gunluvS14 · 01-15-2009, 09:32 AM

wow nice stuff, I like this alot

91silvia · 01-15-2009, 10:42 AM

I'm in, too. I've been looking to do a filter relocation and oil cooler and it looks like this would be perfect for what I need.

*ManoNegra* · 01-19-2009, 07:59 PM

ok, here we go...
everything has been done (tooling, set-ups, parts, etc)
all that's left is anodizing
so the first few parts should be in theory ready by the weekend

shitty phone pics to show fitment

OEM set up

Clearance

Oly thing is that in order to keep the fittings perpendicular to the unit we had to use 8AN
10AN would mean a funky contraption and mostly likely angled fittings, ultimately more $$
don't know if that's a deal breaker for some
our boss, who is a 40 year plus car guy, tells us 8AN it's fine for our application

another thing,
I was thinking anodizing them blue as a Premie tribute
with black fittings I think It'd look pretty cool
maybe subsequent batches will be a different color?
haven't decided yet
group buy should be coming soon

comments?

Silverstreek · 01-19-2009, 08:24 PM

what do most setup's like this usually run? do they normally run 10AN and that's why you were trying to do 10AN or what? don't really understand, since i've never had one of these before. but i'm guessing i'll need one since i'll be going ka-t soon and this will make things easier apparently.
and sorry, probably missed it, but we'll still have to buy the oil filter relocation part right? so as long as it's got 8AN fittings on the part that the oil filter screws on to, it's good to go?

Most people prefer 10AN
why? I'm not quite sure
you can still run 10AN on the relocation bracket and cooler
you'll just need a few resizing fittings
yeah, you still need to buy the relocation part
but there are plenty of those to choose from

lflkajfj12123 · 01-19-2009, 08:36 PM

oh snap

count me in on this

*NemeGuero* · 01-19-2009, 09:00 PM

Yeah, I'm waiting for one.

*ManoNegra* · 01-19-2009, 11:44 PM

I'll let you know when it's ready Evan.

Damn, did something happen to your car?

fromxtor · 01-19-2009, 11:50 PM

At work I assemble up to -20 AN lines, trust me -8 is plenty big enough. Our aircraft external power/hydraulic units only use -16 lines, so you all should be fine.

SoBay240guy · 01-20-2009, 10:20 AM

...Hi all I'm the forsaken CNC machinist/setup/guy who made the parts.

When looking at the -10 fittings we realized that in all the popular combinations available the fitting is the actual restriction, to go to a true -10 fitting (where the ID = 10x 1/16") which has a 5/8, or .625 ID, we would have fittings which would need a center to center distance of over 1.625" to make them installable. Making the part much larger, not to mention that the more volume the setup has the more time spent before the oil gets to the engine, (think turbo lag people, same idea...but with your oil)
the fittings that we chose have a 3/8 ID which given the size of our galley's will not be a restriction.

I would not recommend running -10 lines as the volume is going to make for a long dry period.

chuy · 01-20-2009, 07:23 PM

On the group buy is there an estimate that we can look at, so we can save our pennies?

cdlong · 01-20-2009, 08:06 PM

i'm in for one too. i could care less about anodizing, after it's installed, no one will ever see it again.

Adikt · 01-20-2009, 09:42 PM

Awesome I've been waiting for something like this for a long time.

And not to mention all the bosozuko oil cooler fitment on the front bumpers of cars these days... hell -3 would be great for those apps... (only kiddz)

Very nice work on the billet piece! I would love to get my hands on the finished premie version asap! Just about to assemble my KA-t project.

*ManoNegra* · 01-21-2009, 07:52 AM

Thanks for all the kind words

we have some finished parts left over from the development phase
that we were thinking of holding on to and sending to anodize along the next batch
reason being it costs the same to anodize 5 pieces as it does to do 30
but if some of you don't care then they're technically ready

Mike and I will have a talk today and see what's what

daverussell · 01-21-2009, 07:59 AM

Just curious, they look the same but, will this work for the SOHC as well? Or just the DOHC? Thanks.

Dave

*ManoNegra* · 01-21-2009, 08:11 AM

We developed them specifically for DOHC KAs
so don't know if they'll work on SOHC KAs
if we had access to one locally we could check

Ruff Ryder 6 · 01-21-2009, 08:24 AM

Good i was actually hoping for -8AN because i bought a used oil cooler from a Nascar team on ebay and the fittings were -8. Let me know when i can get a hold of one. Oil cooler is next on my list of mods to complete.

Om1kron · 01-22-2009, 03:06 PM

sick titties, I want one.

*NemeGuero* · 01-22-2009, 03:11 PM

Its for KA silly man.

You don't have one of those.

Om1kron · 01-22-2009, 03:19 PM

um do they look like these?

ka24de longblock.

ka24de shortblock

now in the future if I want any lip from you I'll unzip my pants ok boy!

*NemeGuero* · 01-22-2009, 03:23 PM

Heh, you said long block.

*ManoNegra* · 01-22-2009, 03:58 PM
