Firestorm Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 rite okay guys ive spend some time searching and looking online and stuff and now i just need some advice and answers from you guys cos its doing my nut in now. basically i have a Greddy oil relocation kit..got it out last nite looked at it of course instructions are in jap.. now im sure i can fit it but i need some explaining.. i understand its removing the standard oil filter to another place in the bay etc but im now starting to wonder wether its worth me getting a oil cooler at this time or if its just fine relocating job done style.. i also have a defi oil press gauge that i would need to plumb in and now im seein that an temp gauge is also recommend. at some point in the next month or 2 im gonna do a complete fluid change so whilst im also down there i mite as well put the kit in but then i dont wanna put it in without a cooler kit.. is this eve worth it all.. all a bit overwhelming.. hoping someone could offer some advice and understanding on this... ow head. cheers guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 I was always of the thinking if it is not required dont bother going away from OEM, the oil relocation just gives more areas where it can leak and cause issue, I would only do this if you have a real mechanical need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nicholas Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 If you fit an oil cooler it would be a good idea to fit the relocation kit as the sandwich plate makes the filter extremely hard to replace, I run an oil cooler with the greddy relocation kit to ease filter replacement.

Chris Wilson Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 I would leave the filter where it is and just buy a sandwich plate with an oil thermostat in it (from me...) A `stat is vital on road cars with uprated oil coolers in this country. You can then just run 2 hoses to an adequately sized oil cooler, most kits have hoses that are too small a diameter for the oil flow of a twin turbo 3 litre with piston oil squirters, IMO. Finding somewhere sensible to put a remote filter, and the hoses to it, and on to a coller is a nightmare on a MKIV and access is not much better than stock, yet access for something to hit is a lot better!
