i used aeroquip connections, 90 degree bend with 1/4 bsp thread into the block.then onto the turbo.then just T the oil pressure switch into the line where you want it.

can you not take the remote filter housing off and just put the filter on the block


or is the subframe in the way

Lloyd

the engine mount is in the way.

can you use a smaller filter

sjm

i have the 205 in a 2wd, i had trouble but, there are two filters available a 70 something mm and a 90 something mm, the smaller one of the works ok.

no, cos the pressure switchs catah's the rim on the filter when it's on


some ideas there, cheers all

also can't take connect filter to blocks either there will be no room or no cooler

loosen slightly the remote filter housing where it connects to the block ( big nut), raise it up about 10mm and then shim under the bracket where it bolts to the engine mount arm with washers, and refix using a longer bolt and retighten the big nut.

This should give you enough room to use the standard 2wd oil take off block with the oil pressure switch and turbo oil feed installed without fouling the rim of the filter.

I did this about 4 weeks ago with mine and it works fine

i use a 4wd head, but wanted a oil feed for the turbo at the pressure switch, as cleaner and better supply there.

i use std ford oil filter etc etc.

Heres my setup.

cheers guys,

hopefully now we'll be able to sort it

PAUL S

meant to say make sure you are using the thinner 4x4 oil cooler modine rather than the thicker 2wd one otherwise incoming oil bypasses the filter

Fiecos Dan

Whys that?

PAUL S

iTrader: (8)

using the thicker 2wd modine means that the threaded insert which goes into the block and attaches to the big nut of the oil remote filter housing does not seal fully internally leaving a small passage for some of the incoming oil to bypass the filter and mix with the oil that is returning from the filter back into the galleries of the block.

cheers everyone

am i right in saying that the block is a 1/4 npt thread???

Fiecos Dan

Oh.

do you know the difference in thickness? so i can check mine.

as i've always thought 2wd and 4wd's were the same.

anyone know the answer???

u can use a zetec escort filter which is longer but thinner, fits fine on my 4x4 with the 2wd oil feed arrangement

Spiky

iTrader: (1)

you have any pics??

tracktoy

cheers for your help guys but i think i git it sorted

have used the 2wd adapter and turned it through 90 degrees as suggested by spiky

now looks like this and clears the filter no problem

awesome

tracktoy

not sure of the exact measurments but the 4wd water connections are in line with each other and the 2wd ones are offset slightly
