Mine is right next to the fuse box, cant really see the mount there though.

eviltwinkie

I thought one of the Mazsport kits moved it to near the catch can area near where the wiper fluid used to be...

Or was the the Pettit S/C...

I still need to do that AND relocate my battery...ugh

tajabaho1

mazsport doesn't relocate them, I think it was pettit

anyhow, I think you should bring it out at least to where the dib stick is

yep,

i did not see anything in your intake smoothing job.. i am sgt. shultz..

but, i still have the stock wiper fluid holder.. none of that new fangled psi enhancer stuff..

i think i am going to hang it off the air pump bracket. i still have that, or it goes down below.. got to go under the car anyway..

btw, could you get the rr to happen in sept again?

I was looking/thing of a place wheres there easy access and the filter has lots of air to blow passed it.

some guys have mounted it on the fenderwell. if anyone does that use real stainless lines. the header is on that side also and you really dont want a leak there.
alas no rr per nasa. and the only thing i could come up with is a end of the sept event at Road Atlanta with the bmw boys. That would be too far for yall to drive. although if you have ever ran on RA you would never forget it.
NASA had to cancel their oct event (was to be at barber) i am watching that to see if they reschecule somewhere.

Here is where I mounted mine. Its easy to get to and you can fit a rag under it when changing the filter.

i thought i might get a few more hits on this!

but that helps!!!

wouldnt you you want the filter striaght up so it is eiaser to take out and you can prefill before puting it back in

tdiddy

Its upside-down in the OEM location so Mazda doesn't think you need to prefill it.

savedsol

I believe that's what he meant. Vertical with the filter on the bottom.

The problem is space. I'd love to move mine but I don't mind scraping up my wrists a few times a year.

G3RX8

i know mazda doest think so but i thought aftermarket parts are to improve things. just moving it to the side, i dont see any real affect.

FastRX8

Excuse my ignorance, but what difference does it make if you prefill?
I never thought it mattered?

prefill? never done that before.
Great thread Swoope, I was JUST having this conversation with a forum member this past weekend.

tdiddy can you still mount your engine cover?

gregs

iTrader: (7)

i have always been afraid of this also because have heard this can lower oil pressure?

paulmasoner

iTrader: (1)

well, here's one idea:

i've seen a remote mount over near the washer fluid bottle area... just outboard of the bottle... mounted upright though...
