Ordered some more goodies...

[lil_dq]

Here are some shots of the stuff I got that they had in stock
and had to order about $250 worth of extra couplers and such! LOL

I got the Moroso Oil Filter adapter, Trans-Dapter remote oil filter bracket,
a couple -12 AN fittings, and a straight coupler.
The rest will be in this week!!

Somone found that $1,000 in the other thread...right?

 

[6L PWR]

Ah, Doc, ah, we sure wish you would!!

 

[TheRoadVirus]

Damn, I love AN fittings. I'd love to eventually plumb everything with them (costly), but I'll be going the black route.

 

[lil_dq]

One thing to keep in mind with the black hoses is if there is any suction on the return lines they will collapse!

Todd- Your not the only one! LOL but at the pace I keep addin' stuff....... HAHA

 

[Skandocious]

Anyone care to explain what all that crap does? Only thing that I recognized as ENGLISH was the remote filter kit; I know what that one does

 

[lil_dq]

Ok then the rest gets the oil there! LOL

 

[Skandocious]

Geez! Why spend so much money on such a simple task? I've seen countless other guys accomplish the same thing for much less....

 

[lil_dq]

Just cause, hell nobody else is doin it! LOL and to make it a little easier to change the oil filter! but mainly just cause.

 

[lil_dq]

Ok after buying everything, mocking it up, test fitting and double checking, Dad and I decided that the remote mount oil filter was NOT the way to go on a daily driver. Now that being said let me explain....


OK so the inlet for the radiator hose is about twice that of the the diameter of of the inlet side of the adapter. with it being on the pulling side of the motor, we didn't want to cavitate the water pump and risk burning the motor up. So I will return all the stuff and go back to stock.

Good catch on that one Doc.

Late '97's had remote oil filters mounted on the frame just in front of the left fender well. My early '97 the filter was on the engine, a guy had to be Houdini to get the oil filter in and out. By the time I got my '99 they put the filter back on the engine but they redesigned the tie rod to give some room to get the filter in and out.

 

[lil_dq]

Yeah the filter location doesn't really bother me cause I don't change the oil so I just figured the safety of the motor is ALOT more important!

 

[surewhynot]

Instead of changing the oil, you just change the engine???

 

[lil_dq]

Yeah but even that is getting OLD!!!!!LMAO

 

[Skandocious]

Doc why don't you change your oil?

 

[lil_dq]

Cause for $50 I can have the oil changed w/ Royal Purple, front end completly lubed and new filter. I don't don't have to mess with it! LOL

 

[89frankenford]

my oil change only costs me about $12 and that includes 6 quarts of oil, filter, front end and u-joints all greased, everything under the vehicle checked, all fluids topped off, tire pressure adjusted AND a bottle of water!! but i guess thats what i get for working in the shop and doing all that stuff myself

I meant black colored AN fittings, not the lines.

 

[lil_dq]
