We now have new higher quality Oil filter relocation kits available for the RX-8!
This is a High End kit with the following:
- All aluminum AN Fittings
- Stainless Steel braided hose that comes in black hose and black fittings or silver with red and blue fittings.
- Includes fittings for both M20 and 3/4 UNF thread sizes
- AN Fittings Pre-Installed on the hose so there is no chance for error of the proper torque which means no leaks and it is already done for you!
- Lines are pre-cut and will be 30 inches long each
- Each hose will have one straight end and one 90 degree
- Mounting bracket
- Two threaded taps for an oil pressure gauge and oil temp gauge
*Please note the Black hose is more flexible and easier to install as it has nylon sheathing.
I already have my kit installed but I wonder if you would consider offering the kit with different size lines and/or different hose ends (all 90deg for example)? With the lines being so dificult to bend, having the proper length is very important. I had to shorten mine to mount in my prefered location.

how much more difficult is it to install the none black one ? or is it just a matter of patience. And if i were to put it by my KN intake would any cutting or adjustment need to be done ?
The blue/red with silver lines are not as flexible as the black lines so it would make it more difficult to move around and route but not too much.
I am sure if you are mounting it by the intake some sort of modification would be needed, however it does come with brackets so at most you may just need to drill through the shield to secure the filter base.
Received my kit yesterday, thank you Brice! and nice T-shirt too
I will mount the kit in a temporary location this weekend, and will get some laser cut bracket made for the RHD rx8, it's more difficult to mount in a RHD due to the water bottle and brake booster being in a different spot compared to LHD rx8, so see how I go.
