The holes of which you speak are different for different oil filters. this uses the stock filter, hence the holes and the entire design is different. the other sandwich adapters you've seen do not utilize a stock honda oil filter. look closely at the GE unit. they're there. it's black, so they're tougher to see. but they are there.


beautiful piece vince....soon as that kit is togedda i'll be callin.

 

When I orignally asked about this kit, you said it was going to utilize a -6 line as which was advertised way back when...

is that still possible...

 

Very nice unit! Shoudl give a nice clean installation!

 

My apologies. It does have a -6 AN fitting, I was just tired when I was posting last night.

 

Yes, we can supply you with a plug also. Then the unit can be used for just turbo oil supply and laster if you need it, the plug can be removed and used for your LS-VTEC conversion.

 

very nice kit. running your oil feed after the filter will help to prevent oil contamination of the turbocharger..

 

how are these suppose to seal the stock oil filter? I don't see the groove where the gasket would seal?

You are comparing the wrong sides of each block man.
-the GEM block, you are looking at the filter side
-the other block, you are looking at the engine block side

The GEM will have the o-ring seal on the back side..


**For below; this is called a oil filter "block", I was not meaning the cylinder "block"
You are comparing two different perspectives of these parts....that is where the confusion is. This part will work fine with your block and will have no problems sealing**

The back side of the block has an o-ring just like stock. The front side, which you see in the pic, is where the o-ring on the filter sits.

 

So this side goes inside the block?

 

The side you see faces away from the block and is where the filter would mount. The other side mounts onto the block like to filter would in a stock situation.

 

stop confusing me hehe, i wasn't looking at any block, i thought you meant the pics i posted. Both pics are on the same side of the block where the filter sits, am I right?

 

Ok, thats what im talking about, its flat on the filter side from your adapter so where would the filters oring sit? I'm just worried about it sealing because i'm interested in getting one



The only filter i can find at the moment i think its from a prelude

 

n/m i kept thinking there needed to be a groove on that side but it appears the block doesn't have one.

 

The o-ring from the filter sits on the flat part of the VTEC Conversion block just like it would stock.

 

Yes i see that now, the greddy one threw me off

 

vince, what about the guys who decide to use the earlier GSR oil coolers in the b20 and ls blocks ? you gonna make a sadwich adapt for that or no ?

greg

 

I have one of these and let me tell you it is great.

 

Yes Vince, what if we want to run an oil cooler, or already have one?

 

Unfortunately, these units do not work with the existing oil coolers. We do have a model coming out that will within a couple of weeks! E-mail me then for availability!

 

what is the price?

 

that is a very nice piece
how much is it?

 

Price is MSRP $89! We are looking dor dealers so please inquire with us or if you know of any shops that may be interested, please have them call us. (909) 592 - 4311. More products to come very soon!

 

Hmm... I guess I'm a bit concerned with how long that gasket that seals the oil adapter to the block will last. I'm sure it will last a few years, but once the rubber hardens and goes bad, you'll start leaking oil and uh oh....

 

We use a VITON rubber O-ring which was designed to withstand -20 to +400 F and comes with a lifetime warranty! No worries
