Chris Wilson Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Can you explain in more depth about the oil filter area clearance issues? I am pretty good at sorting these as I come across this a lot when road car engines are adapted to go into race car chassis's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barneybrendan Posted December 18, 2009 Author Share Posted December 18, 2009 Can you explain in more depth about the oil filter area clearance issues? I am pretty good at sorting these as I come across this a lot when road car engines are adapted to go into race car chassis's. i have 6cm clearance from the block where the original filter housing mounted.what i need is almost like a sandwich plate to bolt to the block with 2 pipes coming off to the oil filter relocator. a couple of the pics show the sort of clearance issue i have.

Kirk Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 im impressed i must admit.

RobSheffield Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Good work so far. Im not normally a fan of trial and error on the Supra, but at least you are making progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 My first comment on this post, and it is that i find this a refreshing change to, and partly due to the recent crop of " I'm going to get such and such power" or "I'm going to finish this by" type threads;) You seem to have actually given the conversion a lot of thought, and gone about it in a methodical if somewhat trial and error way, you gladly take sensible advice and criticism and admit to making mistakes, without chucking toys, and so far i can't say that anything you have posted has given me cause to question methods or technicality's (much:innocent:) So i look forward to seeing the end results:thumbs: Subscribed!

barneybrendan Posted December 18, 2009 Author Share Posted December 18, 2009 as this is a learning curve im sure on some aspects people have better ideas .i take critisism constructivly because i view it as help.the thing is you can spend so much time on something that you can become blinded by what needs doing correct.no doubt i will be making more mistakes but hopefully that will help others not to make the same ones.

I may have something suitable, I have locked up shop for the night, but I'll try and get a photo over the weekend. It's an adaptor to remote mount the oil filter, and it's quite slim. The issue will be where the pipes come out of it. Are you stripping the engine before it's run? If so drill and tap the holes in the filter area of the block to take pipe adaptors coming off at suitable angles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Neither hole returns to the sump, one is the feed from the outlet side of the oil pump, the other feeds into the main oil gallery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Spin on filters always flow oil OUT through the centre hole into the main oil gallery, so the one on the perimeter of the hollow in the casting is the feed from the oil pump pressure side.

barneybrendan Posted December 19, 2009 Author Share Posted December 19, 2009 started stripping the front off to fit the fmic.its started to snow lightly so descided to get a coffee.will be making the mounting brackets in a minute.has anybody left the pas cooling pipes in place.

Wez Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 has anybody left the pas cooling pipes in place. You can only junk them if you fit another cooler. From memory some FMICs come with replacements where as others just require you to bend or move it. Some track setups replace them with a proper cooling matrix and 10mm piping, something that is on my todo list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barneybrendan Posted December 20, 2009 Author Share Posted December 20, 2009 been thinking about the oil filter housing problem ,and looking at the relocation kit. drill a hole through the middle.then a hole in the side tapped out for a fitting.then screw into the block a hollow bolt .place the relocation part over this then secure with a nut.fit a 90 degree elbow to the hollow bolt.then the pipes can run from this to the part that holds the filter.
