Could you pm me if you still have the undertray please?

I pm'd you and asked for your paypal address for the exh gaskets.... Can you confirm the gaskets are 17173-46040 and 17178-46010 please and also let me have your pp address. Cheers Dan

Thank you - I'll try to get an email to you later today.

Do you have an email address I could send some details to?

OK - I will try to find out. Thanks

Chris - are you able to source AP discs at a sensible price? I may be after a set of CP3580-1092/1093 if the price is ok. http://apracing.com/info/products.asp?product=25%2E4mm+Thick%2D220%2E5mm+P%2EC%2ED%2E+%2D+Bolted+%2D+CP3580%2D1092%2F1093_2193_2185

We agree. Unfortunately it's blue - a black one would have been ideal to match all the black Anotuff fittings. Fortunately it will be tucked out of sight so it won't stand out as a blue beacon!!

Yes - now sold.

It's sold as an oil filter. The fuel filters have a finer mesh down to about 30 microns....thse I am not sure about temperature limits!

Makes perfect sense mate, we are in agreement. It would have to be a huge restriction to be of any concern to the DBB cartridge.

Unless I spin a shell or something similar equally less catastrophic than spitting a piston. I've bought it now so unless it drops masses of pressure then I'll stick it in....

I have a brand new one, still in the box

For anyone who's interested: The filter has a 140micron mesh. From what I can remember, most regular oil filters will advertise as capable of catching particles in the 5-30 micron range but in reality will pass an awful lot of material well over 40 microns. Don't get the wrong impression though - as a sole oil filter for engine oil this item would be a very bad choice - the mesh is reasonably coarse by modern filter standards and would not provide adequate protection. As a rock catcher the 140 micron good enough for what I want - helping to prevent irreparable and immediate turbo bearing damage as a result of an engine failure. If I wanted to get more into it then I can drop the mesh size as long as it doesn't drop too much pressure but I can't really be bothered with that! However - I'm not sure it's worth it now if either turbo feed is isolated all the way from the main filter.... I design stuff

I know all the feeds are filtered but what I don't know if if the 2JZ has a dedicated gallery that runs from the filter purely to the turbo oil feeds on the side of the block. If it does then I agree it's a waste......I assumed that this is not the case. I wanted a "rock catcher" in place in case any debris got created in the engine (post filter) and found its way to the turbo. If I had some sort of engine failure it would be nice to have a chance of salvaging the turbo at least. I agree that if there is a dedicated gallery feed then this can't happen. As far as the temp question - if I find out it isn't then it will go back as it is sold as an oil filter for this kind of purpose. I can run it for a few hundred hours at pretty much any temp and flowrate I need to and see how it performs if I'm left with any doubts.

I'm not 100% familiar with the oil route "post filtering" in the 2JZ block Chris. Is there a direct gallery through the block to either of the turbo feeds straight from the filtered side of the filter...where there's zero chance of picking up any debris? Edit: I do have a spare block so I can check this out but right now I am immobile and I was also ordering all my Earls parts so it was quick decision time for a quick shipping deal to be honoured.

I have one of these sat unused if someone wants it.

Nice avatar

That's correct Phil - I will be coming off the block in dash 6 to the filter and then from the filter to the turbo in dash 3. I'm not sure on any pressure drop yet - I can test that when I get it but would need to know the flowrate to test it at first. The thing weighs 1kg so it isn't exactly small - I anticipate a negligible pressure drop....and may be less concerned about potential pressure drop than others as I will be running a DBB cartridge anyway.

What a tosser I am ......thanks!

Just bought one of these: http://www.holley.com/data/products/pictures/Large230306ERL.jpg ...and the fittings to drop it into the oil feed line.

UK or J spec

Yes try the graphite but don't force anything once you have graphite powder in there.

Anyone ever done it or seen it? I'm just pricing up an Earls filter and associated hardware now ready to order.

Hmmm a 74mm turbo does sound large - what sort of power will you aim to put down? SimonB runs a 67DBB on his as do a few over on SF. Apparently Jeff from Induction motorsport ran a 71mm turbo to well over 700bhp on one. I am building my kit now (67DBB) around one - but that isn't proof obviously as I am still doing it and it has not been on a RR.
