A L 3 X Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Currently my filter relocation pipe sits tight against my oil filter with my wepr turbo kit. Now if I was to get an oil sandwich plate so I could fit some gauges, would this improve clearance or cause more issues?Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starbo Moorley Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Itll just push the oil filter further out, i run mesh cause gettin a filter on is a pain. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A L 3 X Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 Bollocks, so is it gonna cause more issues?Maybe worth me getting the oil filter moved then as I've had mesh and its wank for performance imo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starbo Moorley Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Just try it on mate depends how much of the bend is silicone hose. Im impatient and get annoyed by things not going on straight away lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A L 3 X Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 Haha well its forced on at the moment mate so was hoping it would be improved.Its a huge ass HKS filter and I had to get Dean to make me a custom kit to relocate it behind the bumper, that was before the WEPR kit, now its even tighter, but I really want a set of gauges lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
micky boy Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Get an oil filter relocation kit job done! And dont run mesh it stops the vortex and kills the performance Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A L 3 X Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 Where do I get one of these lol? And where would I put it, don't like drilling random holes and messing stuff up if its not needed lol.I've run mesh before mate, prefer a filter Just realised though, CJ performance seem to have stopped doing the depo gauges Quote Link to post Share on other sites
micky boy Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 You get them with some oil cooler kits mate seen a few greddy ones pop up for sale on here from time to time!Im not sure where you can buy them from now but im sure if you get intouch with TD they might be able to help you out!Ask James see if he can still get you a gauge mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A L 3 X Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 I don't want a cooler though as I don't rag the car enough to warrant one mate, just need the filter moved.And yeah good idea, I'm wanting a set of boost, oil press and oil temp If you know of any other good ones?

micky boy Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 You can just buy the oil filter relocation kits but im just unsure where from! My mate had a fresh import glanza with one on and he didnt have a oil cooler!Theres a few good gauges mate put it depends on how deep your pockets are to what you want realy!But Depo gauges are good for the money so if you can get james to get hold of them for you then go for them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Alex, there a wide range of Prosport gauges available on our website. You can have a nosey at a set in the demo car next time you're over if you want. We sell the oil cooler kits with oil filter relocation, I'll see if I can get the relocation kit alone for you bud. If you don't decide to relocate it, we have just the sandwich place available for the gauges. RegardsIdreesID-Workz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) I run one of these but with a HKS filter housing, you carnt beat the mocal stuff for quality imo no shabby anodizing to flake off and look shitttty.http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MOCAL-REMOTE-OIL-FILTER-KIT-INC-AEROQUIP-HOSE-TOYOTA-CELICA-TURBO-/261068368241?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3cc8e32971 Edited October 23, 2012 by Rob H Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Simon Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Alex think auto are the people to talk to:http://www.thinkauto.com/Tell them what you want and thats it's a Japanese import with the small filter as they do small sized plates to go onto the block.They will be able to supply you with everything you need for a relocation kit. Might not be the cheapest but will be good quality stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Thinkauto is mocals site and yes they are very help full as Simon says. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A L 3 X Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 Yeah that also looks good as you say.I'm gonna see if a sandwitch plate would fit as its adding up to a lot of cash lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 (edited) Get a oil sandwich plate off iddy, I'm running one of his with my Greddys and my filter just about fits and I literally had about a millimetres room. Edited October 24, 2012 by Liam_D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tara Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Where do I get one of these lol? And where would I put it, don't like drilling random holes and messing stuff up if its not needed lol.I've run mesh before mate, prefer a filter Just realised though, CJ performance seem to have stopped doing the depo gauges we still do them dude have some in stock too Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Liam I had a look at Alex's car today, he could make more space by trimming the silicone pipe on the the turbo but it would then foul his radiator. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A L 3 X Posted October 24, 2012 Author Share Posted October 24, 2012 Aye idrees showed me a sandwich plate today and its really gonna be a tough one, the decisions either get a civic rad or move the oil filter I think, hmm.James, you've got them depo ones yeah? Pm me some prices plz for oil temp and pressure, and a boost one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Anyway of just running a smaller filter?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A L 3 X Posted October 25, 2012 Author Share Posted October 25, 2012 Its not so much the filter but the relocation kit mate. Or do you mean oil filter? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A L 3 X Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 May have an idea:http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CAR-INTERIOR-OIL-TEMP-PRESSURE-GAUGE-SENDER-ADAPTER-fittings-sensor-probe-NEW-/250922245950?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3a6c219f3e Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I meant air filter, I'm running a HKS Mushroom with a monster Motorsport relocater and a idworkz sandwich plate and a blitz filter. It's very tight but it all just about fits. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A L 3 X Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 Yeah im running a HKS mushroom but a skyline one or something lol, thats not the issue though its the pipe I assume, well I suppose its because it needs to be wide where it passes between the rad to fit onto the filter.What do people reckon to the thing that tees off the standard oil pressure sensor?
