Oil Filter Relocation Optionz
Has anyone tried one of these things?
eBay Oil Filter Relocation Kit
It looks like a pretty decent little unit and not very different from the Hayden unit.

1. There is nothing wrong with the stock location.
2. Using Ebay oil line parts on a dedicated track car is just retarded.
3. Introducing more failure points on a track car is just retarded.
4. Pusha is a retard. His sig is also retarded.

That kit probably isn't any worse than one of the cheap summit/jegs 'universal' kits, about the same price though...
If you're gonna get that, might as well just get this kit eh? Whats the issue with ebay -AN fittings? I haven't read.

Crimp connectors leak more than my diy screw on fittings, and normal torque on the fittings crush the flare. At that point it might be leak free, but you most likely can't remove and replace it, as it'll leak if it's in a new position. Also theyre not the same angle, so if it fails, you can't mix and match pieces.

2: Those 90° AN fittings are terrible from a flow standpoint. You want the ones with a swept aluminum tube, not a drilled-out aluminum block.

Like I said, they're usually not -AN fittings. Only way to replace them is to use more -AN fittings, or buy real -AN fittings along with new hoses. The only part I'm using from my $160 ebay oil cooler kit is the sandwich plate, which luckily had real NPT threads to put some NPT-AN adapters in.
