getting to the oil filter can be a pita sometimes, has anyone used one of these kits before? where did you mount it?

here is a pic of the greddy kit

 

sweet where can i get one

 

Might as well get the b&m oil cooler, which relocates the filter, t00.

Yup, my boy just installed his, now his filter is right next to the radiator and he doesn't even need to jack the car up anymore to change the oil.....well just a little because he's pretty low.
Also, the b&m is half the price.

thanks for the link mr. thunderlips
so did you end up getting the perma-cool kit with the oil cooler and relocator?

 

I have heard of OVERcooling the oil with the combo of a remote filter and cooler on Hondas. Any truth to that?

Nice thing about the filter relocation kits is that most of them use Mustang (or some other v8) filters which are quite large.

 

good things: increase oil capacity, cooler oil

but, is there a sigificant pressure drop? also, if the climate is cool, is it even necessary?

 

My friend got his from Options Auto Salon...I believe it's http://www.optauto.com

 

Yes, you can over cool the oil. In the case of a front mount oil cooler, you'd want to cover 1/2 the cooler with a piece of cardboard or heavy duty plastic with zip-ties if your temps are down in the 20-30s all the time. Down here in TX, it's no big deal. BTW, that B&M kit, what size lines does it have? The kit i put together uses -10AN (bout 1/2"). If it were smaller than that, I'd be concerned with flow capacity.

 

Here is a good right up on a do it your self set up

LOL True that!

 

bump for a good deal

 

the rubber hoses on the B&M get a big . i made a custom remote oil filter kit for about $150 and that is using 12' of -10AN SS line which is $100 itself...

 

whats wrong with b&m's hoses? whats your experience with them? i know greddy's kit comes with earl's ss lines.

 

no personal experience, but rubber hoses just don't seem trust worthy enough for me...

 

yes you can over cool your oil with an air/radiator based cooler... unlike the stock water based heat transfer device which is designed to equalize the temperatures of the two fluids to an extent...

that is why an aftermarket oil cooler is supposed to be plumbed with something like this:

that way you arent cooling your oil while it's trying to warm up to operating temperature... or over-cooling it while you are driving around..
