I've thought about this a number of times & with a recent discussion on another forum I've done a little digging to check on costs etc. Just interested to see if anyone would be potentially interested in a fitting to bolt to the block where the filter tree would normally go but instead have two AN - 10 fittings for a remote filer/oil cooler setup. Fitting would be as lower profile as is possible to aid with fitting oversized turbos & would be fully CNC machined here in NZ from high quality 6061 ally. Would just be a very simple fitting, no valves etc inside & would require no modification to the block to fit it. Below is a very rough photoshop to give you an idea of what I am proposing:
Should be able to do something, at least provide an area that could be drilled and taped I should have a proposed price in the next week or two.
suprised a post from Z1 hasnt popped up saying what a coincidence; we are working on the same thing :br: bit like the drive shaft hoop
TBH I'm surprised no one has done it before? Such an obvious item when you think about it and wouldn't be difficult to make. And nothing wrong with competition
What about an adapter like this... could then use low profile 90' fittings for more room for the waste gate actuator. http://www.sxoc.com/vbb/showthread.php?449761-Mazworx-SR20-Oil-Block-Adapter
Mine will be different in that the fittings will be positioned at 90 degrees to those fittings & obviously it will bolt to a VG block not the SR LOL!
I've asked for a quote to produce a small batch & will be contacting another company I use tomorrow to get a quote from them also, Am actually considering buying a milling machine to make the prototype then getting them to simply copy that. Plenty of other little things I want to make with a milling machine so could be a good excuse
Have you done much research/thinking on the best design to give good clearance from the many things that are crowded around that area?
