Remote oil filter

[Biznitch]

I have located a remote oil filter adaptor on ebay. It has side exit fittings and is low profile, 47mm height. Listing shows it to be 22mm for LS1 engine but the seller also lists all the filter types they can spec it out for which includes 20mm.

Messaged him to confirm they can fit a Z142A Ryco filter, so the adaptor will fit the engine. Can rotate outlets 360' before tightening centre nut for optimal positioning. (which i presume is under the 3 bolt allen key top)
Was thinking of using the Jackmaster oil filter he also sells.

Beauty of using that filter is you don't need an additional remote filter mount to attach a traditional filter and the re-placement filter elements are $10. Less if you buy quantities.

Ebay link for adaptor is http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Remote-O...=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3ce3b8a420

Ebay link for Jackmaster oil filter http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/BYPASS-O...=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3ce436ba79

The main reasons I am interested is because my car is stupidly low ATM (filter looks like a rock magnet). Would like an oil pressure and temp sensor and so I can run a bigger(Jackmaster) or dual Z142A filter setup.

What are your thoughts, am I missing anything?

i have one of these setup and seems good..

you just need proper hoses/tubing to suit this..

he can also make you almost anything you need and he likes to accommodate customers as much as he can

If I was going to go down the remote filter route, I'd put a cooler in the loop, using a thermostat. Little bit more tubing & work but beneficial I reckon.

Was trying to find info on remote setups on CVR4 and read a post saying you had a good one but only found the thread where you decided against it. My search skills(sic) must have failed me. I am comforted to know you have one and it works well. Did you use the Jacmaster filter as well?

So the oil cooler would be bypassed with the thermostat when cold?

Correct, get it to the temp at which the thermostat opens and it'll flow through the cooler. Derale make something which should do the trick. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=141012683201&alt=web

They dont completely block the flow, only recircs 95% of the flow when its closed to stop airlocks. But the Derale ones are great.

They also make this one which is good for trans coolers:

This sounds like a pretty good idea. Also may make oil changes easier.... or harder depends where you mount it haha
