Kate Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 I have fitted a TD04 on my Glanza and the intake for the air filter is touching the oil filter and now I can't fit the sandwich plate for the oil gauges. I am guessing I'm going to have to relocate the oil filter... Where do I get the kit for this? Is this an expensive thing to do. So close to it being done and now having to do this. How annoying!! If anyone has any other suggestions that would be great or point in the right direction for the kit pls x Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 You can get remote oil filter kits cost around £100 I have mocal stuff but i also have a thermostatic sandwich plate to an oil cooler think mine cost around £300 you have a wepr by anychance.

Kate Posted February 17, 2018 Author Share Posted February 17, 2018 Oh bugger that's quite a bit. Don't think I'll need an oil cooler but it's still quite a lot of money. Hadn't even thought about the relocation up until now. Was hoping to get it finished today lol no I don't have wepr. I have a manifold from fast road conversions.

akyakapotter Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Or do what I do and run mesh not an air filter you won't need a relocation kit then. Cheers nick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kate Posted February 17, 2018 Author Share Posted February 17, 2018 I did think about that but decided against it as knowing my luck I'd fuck something up. They say it allows more shit into turbo or something x Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Calum122 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Just now, Kate said: I did think about that but decided against it as knowing my luck I'd fuck something up. They say it allows more shit into turbo or something x Well it's not filtering the air is it, you're just stopping big stuff going in there. But think once the engine has spun the turbine to compress as much air as possible, leaves and shit will just get consumed through the mesh. Now I know lots of people run it that way etc etc, I just think it's so hacky when a filter is literally only going to cost you like a pony at max. Kate sounds like you need to better relocate your air filter. Just whack on something like that. Was literally a 10er for two filters nice and maneuverable.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gorganl2000 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 as per your other tread, i ran a similar set up to what you have now, my silicon bend/hose touched the oil filter slightly if i ran the parallel to the ground, so i trimmed the hose/bend carefully and turned the filter set up slightly upwards to minimize any touching the filter itself never touched the oil filter---only the hose/bend Quote Link to post Share on other sites
federalman Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 That’s the setup I’m running. It’s a small K&N filter the BIL gave me from his v8 when he switched to trumpets. Works a treat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kate Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 Do you have your oil filter in normal place? I just don't seem to have enough room with the sandwich plate for the oil gauges. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maddox710 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Kate just search for a forged/cast alloy elbow about 50mm, they usually have a much tighter turn which should help you clear the filter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
