fordie_glanzaV Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 tryna do some research before getting 1 for my glanza.aftet fitting my td04 had to ditch my oil filter sandwhich plate which ran my oil temp and pressure sensors. so opting to get a relocation kit.done a quick search on here and aint found anything. so done a search on google and get mixed opinions on them.. people say to stay away from them as there is to much pressure drop. others say it dont effect it aslong as joints are all sealed correctly and its flowing the right way. anyone experienced any problems with them???also best place to relocate it to??? any help will be much appriciated cheers lewis Quote Link to post Share on other sites
H_D Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 best to keep it mounted as low as possible so gravity does not effect the flow of oil too much.If its mounted to high up then gravity works against flow, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fordie_glanzaV Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 the space i had in mind was down low anyway :-D cheers mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TimD Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I have one fitted to mine, I can't give you figures before, but oil pressure seems fine with it fitted. (Ignore the battered filter, was put on to make sure nothing nasty found it's way into oil system) I've mounted mine up inside the drivers inner arch. Had to go to a larger oil filter, because the standard starlet one was too small for the relocator. One thing I would advise is that you fit some sort of thermostat to it, mine struggles for oil temp, even on track. I had to cover half of my 16 row oil cooler to get any real temp into the oil, this was a warm summers afternoon as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fordie_glanzaV Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 cheers for the advise and pictures mate.im not running a cooler so ill see what temps are like first before getting a stat.. misses has just brought me the relocater kit so when it turns up ill check filter fits before i plum it in. just need to but some lines. cheers again mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TimD Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I would go to a hydraulic place and ask them to make you some up, saves faffing about with fittings like I did, it was a nightmare. If you aren't running a cooler then don't worry about oil temps, unless you intend to use it on track regularly it probably isn't needed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fordie_glanzaV Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 yeh theres a hose and hydraulic place nearby so ill go speak them.only plumbing in oil temp back in as the gauge been mounted in the car and i cant stand them not working.but pressure gauge is a must...cheers again pal Quote Link to post Share on other sites
