RobSheffield Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 i am thinking of draining the oil on my 'off the road' supra, and refilling it in a week or so, with a new filter relocation kit. the reason is, i want to remove some guages asap, and fit new ones, and i cant afford a new relocation kit this week daft question is, will the engine be 'ok' without any oil in it for a week or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixelfill Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 Rob, which relocation kit are you going for? I've been looking for a few weeks. I'm not sure I can justify the cost of a cooler as I do a lot of short journeys and I believe the cooler may actually be detrimental so would need to add a 'stat too. The obvious solution would therefore be the Greddy one, as it's reasonably priced, but having read Nic's horror story I'm worried. I don't like the idea of Paul E's as the hoses don't look to have decent connectors. Cheers Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Mike Hi Mike The problem I had was with the sprung, snap in connectors (similar type of connector you get on a garden hose, but in metal), not all of the GReddy oil coolers and oil relocation kits use these, most use properly threaded connectors. I can supply HKS, Blitz and GReddy Oil Cooler and Oil Filter Relocation Kits with threaded oil line connectors, if you want prices and more details, email me at the address in my sig below. ps. for those who weren't around all those years ago, [thread=7550]THIS THREAD[/thread] explains the horror story Mike is refering to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
