Jellybean Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Hi I have my oil filter relocated to the Charcoal canister area, the oil filter is mounted off the OEM mounting on the wing , Primarily used for the Charcoal canister; looking at the mount it appears to be there more for positioning than designed to take any sheer load Anybody come across any oil filter mounting brackets?

Burna Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Is it wise to have the oil filter in a higher position than the stock mounting place? Or am I talking out of my arse here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike2JZ Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I would mount that somewhere near the gearbox, maybe on a bracket held in with the gearbox bolts. Then you can jack the car slightly on passenger side and take filter off from there. Those lines should be as short as possible in my opinion.

Chris Wilson Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 The less hoses and fittings in HP oil lines the better, I have never understood this obsession about remote mounting the oil filter. But if you do mount it there be sure to use a filter with an anti drain back valve. The filter manufacturers web sites usually show which have this feature. You will just have to weigh up the options and make a bracket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybean Posted September 3, 2016 Author Share Posted September 3, 2016 Thanks , Only reason I have one is , it was on the car ;would prefer just to run it off the side of the block but I have an oil pressure sensor in the sandwich plate What is the best way to retain the oil pressure sensor and have the filter in the OEM location ? Other option is to get the PHR kit on black friday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 I just drill the filter housing retaining bolt 1/8 BSP or 1/8 NPT and fit a sensor there. If I am being fussy I mount it on a short -3 hose so it's divorced from engine heat and vibration. Frank Bullet is fussy and I did his like that On a VVTI you can drill and tap the top VVTi oil fitting banjo. Bullet has both. But he would.....

Andy-No-Knee Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Does anyone have some pictures of various different locations?

This was done on mine and I had the filter retaining bolt taped and the sensor fitted in the end, not the best picture but you can just make it out.
