you want the one that looks like this page
http://www.magnafilter.com.au/magnefine.html I'm not sure if they have different oil line sizes. I'll measure mine and get back to you. |
my one measured to be 1/2 12mm

you can get a strong magnet for around 10 bux that can withstand the heat ...

yeah it might work but why risk your $3000 SC for a $30 filter that lasts 2 years?:wallbash: |

yeah and then you have to attach it to the oil lines some how. then you still need a $15 paper oil filter.

I dunno what filter ur kit uses but 15 bux a paper oil filter sounds kinda expensive to me.
For me, I would rather just change the filter every 6 months or so than adding a magnet to it and try to use it for 2 years. for this supercharger a 2 years service interval is fine. my oil is still looking pristine and is just due for it's first service. |

we are not adding a magnet. the company specifies a magnetic filter. there is probably a very good reason they want the magnet due to the friction drive.

what im trying to say was, you can just add a magnet to oil filter and forget about that 30 bux magnetic filter thing.

and what I'm trying to say is buying a magnet and a filter will cost a similar amount to a purpose made filter and your getto device may or may-not work as the manufacture intended. so why risk a very expensive SC over a few dollars?

u gotta remember, there is not much to be filtered in a SC oil system. this is also why you dont need to change it as often.
I can't wait to see how it looks, tofu good luck with the install :bowdown: |
lol, well i called bullets today, i just got the rotrex filter. 50 bucks
What rotaryenvy says is correct though, why risk 3500 dollars worth of parts for a simple 30 dollars. |
ok a update.
Almost all the parts are here Just waiting on BHR to finish building the radiator. The installation is going to be stalled till July, as i have my gf's 21st in end of june (i completely forgot.....) So gonna take the money out to take her overseas as thats what she really deserves. If your saying wTFG#&%^) gf > over ?!?! Reason is she has always been against me modding my car, but she still buys me things such as my rims/gauges/oil cooler :) So its time to repay her. Anyways, the feed center gauge pod will arrive next week or so, im going to install the first 3 gauges, oil pressure/temp, water temp. I want to see the temps my car is running at N/A so i can better judget the cooling management when its FI. I have searched the information from others here, but i think a real life observation at my altitude, driving pattern, weather will warrant a better result. |
hey tofu box,
Just wondering do u need to roll ur fenders for the BuddyClub rims? Im getting a set of ADVAN RS which have the same size and offset as urs. Cheers, Max |
nope but i think it depends on your tires though
|
im planning to get 245/35, i think should be fine
|
No issues there except the odd size
|
Thanx Andrew
|
BTW, tofu
do u think it's possible to put this kit on s2 now? i found out they do make 4 beat tuning for s2 |
no idea, i dont see why not though, except the ecu management
|
yeah, anyway, how much hp do u expect from it?
|
i am aiming at a reliable 200-230 hp from rear wheels
More then enough for me as a DD. so about a 70hp improvement |
thats enough for AT, is it safe for the engine?

So if it's a great quality tune that is done properly, all should be fine. |
