I want to build an in line filter kit - similar to the picture due to the costs that the tuners are asking for them



The kit will be for a GT30 so AN4 is needed

What i need to know is:


Fittings needed

• 1x 90 degree (to fit AN4)

• 1x 90 degree (to fit oil sender .... need to confirm thread size for this)

• 1x 45 degree

• 1x straight fitting

Now then.......

• Where to source the fitting from in the colour like the picture?

In line Filter

• I have been looking at the Goodridge 149 micron AN4 filter which seems to be the one to use or is it a different size filter for different applications - can this be confirmed?

Many thanks in advance

exact engineering in totnes in devon have all this stuff and all made on site.. shame you are so far away but i think they have a catalogue online..

this is where a lot of the places get the braided brake kits from like woodford ect..

 

I had a filter like that on my moonstoner and I paid around 70 or 80 quid from RichardPon when he used to work at SCC. Bought it at ford fair years ago

 

does the yb oil feed for the turbo come off the un-filtered side of the block?

 

Checked the links above and nothing - proper confused as the zinc covered fittings and the size i'm after are for brake and clutch applications - i take it you should be fine using them still for oil hose they should fit ok?

 

what about the rest of the engine? should there not be filters for that oil?

 

Oil comes out of the oil adapter on the inlet side of the block and is returned to the sump on the exhaust side - normally the turbo feed isn't filtered standard these filters are added for extra security

I think i have solved it, i have sourced where to get all the parts to build one, will post up when i get them.

 

surley the engine oil is generally clean though? and it all passes through the filter at some point, what are you filtering out of the oil?

 

The engine has an oil filter - the turbo feed come from a different area to the right of the engine filter (on a 2wd) - the turbo in line filter is a separate item

 

Manufacturers dont put seperate oil filters on and have no problems, just change the oil and filter often and use a quality oil. The only contamination in the oil will be the engine itself failing, it will be too late then as the turbo will already be dammaged by low oil pressure

 

The main thing that could cause a blockage is carbon, using a flush from new eliminates this, I always flush, got 200K out my last cossie engine, before oil rings let go.

Also i have seen on ebay the fitting for the turbo that bolts on if the Gt series has ythis option.
