Remote oil filter setup for 20v

[KE25 RACER]

Would anyone happen to have one of these setups for sale?

perma cool also do remote filter setups www.perma-cool.com

you can get them from VPW pretty cheap too. you need one to suit 3/4-16 thread for a 4A.

Any speed shop should have the parts.. While you CAN use a Z386 (or similiar) filter, it's so much better to use a decent sized filter on a remote mount. Not only do you get a proper sized filter, you saved a lot of burnt fingers come change time. Also makes it easy to fit a full flow cooler.

On thing you have to keep in mind, you need the threaded tube from 16v to fit il filter directly to block, or even if use remote plate, 20v's one is too tall.

i can vouch for their quality -- top notch plus they are copmpact.

The one from the 4AC works as well. From my experience the 16V one is too long as it through bolts the oil cooler bypass sandwich plate as well. Anyway 4AC one ftw.

Hey guys, just on the topic of remote oil filters.. Has anyone noticed pressure drop when using one? I found my oil pressure to be a bit lower when I had one..

I wasn't sure if this was wrong sized piping, or poorly designed remote adapters. I noticed like the one in the first picture, the flow doesn't look real good.

Just a note:
20V does not come with a sandwich plate for your remote Oil Cooler. 16V does have the sandwich plate with bypass. But like the other dude said, you don't need a sandwich plate if you go the full flow oil cooler rather than bypass (like on an SX.)

I would disagree on both these.. But maybe these are those things that vary by marketing areas.

There should not be pressure drop, unless you use the stock BYPASS oil cooler setup.
But even on this one, there should not be much of an drop...

Bypass varies from conventional sandwich plate coolers by cooled oil returning to oilpan.
But on low revs it should not circulate anything through cooler cause there is spring loaded valve that opens at higher oil pressures, not at idle.

So if you use a sandwhich plate cause you give the oil no choice but to be pumped through all the extra lines you will lower oil pressure whereas having the standard 16v type setup the oil pressure spring only allows oil to the cooler at higher rpm hence not affecting idle oil pres.

A couple of questions for those who have them installed.

1. Have you noticed if it takes longer for the oil pressure to build up on start up with the setup compared with stock?

2. Is it best to mount the oil filter lower than the engine block attachment (where the filter normally goes), so oil does not drain back down to the sump when the car is off? Would this make it better at startup because the lines and filter already have oil in them?

[-GT-]

Yes, i've noticed both a slightly lower pressure and an increased time for pressure to build on the gauge, due to it having to build pressure around a longer system before it gets to the gauge.

Also, as to having oil in the lines and cooler at startup, yeah, if they're pretty full it will take less time to see full pressure on the gauge, but you will have oil (and pressure) through the engine just as quickly as before as the cooler (and filter) will be last thing before the oil returns to the sump. Where in your system your pressure gauge is will affect how quickly you see pressure, it may be a sweeping generalisation but it makes sense that in the factory location it would be a late as possible to monitor all of the oil system.

I guess what i'm getting at is it may take longer to see pressure with the extra lines, cooler and volume of a full flow setup, but your engine should still be getting oil pressure (and being protected) as quickly as before. If the lines and cooler are full or empty will affect how quickly you see pressure on the gauge but not how quickly pressure builds through your engine.

having the filter lower is the way i set mine up.

1. because it will drain almost all the oil out + stuff in the lines

2. convinent
