stevie82 Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Does anybody know if the oil filter housing from a 4efte can be fitted to a 4efe block ? Im looking at turboing my na and before a spend a load of cash having a custom manifold made up to avoid the oil filter I just want to know if the filter housing can be used on na.

RobSR Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 It will, you just need to tap 3 more holes for the studs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Will the centre bolt not just hold it ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobSR Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Will probably leak on just that. the fte one wouldnt have it if they didnt need it... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobSR Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 If you just want it for an oil feed by the way, just t-into where the oil pressure switch is and dont worry about fitting that housing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Duno about the OP but i need it to relocate the filter becausr my top mount mani wont clear the standard FE filter placement. Other option is to get a sandwich plate and a filter relocator, easy done.Im also turbo'ing a N/a engine, seems all the FTE's are fucked, or the good ones are hard got.

RobSR Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 If you need to relocate it you can do that with what youve got..just get a remote filter head on there Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You should get it tappef for the three bolts, youd hate to kill your engine if it did leak.Use the fte head because the cams are different well the inlet at least.
