Ok all here are some pics of the install. I will make up the DIY down the road. If any questions please PM me.

Packaged product
























I like the way it came out but I am going to modify the filter end so I dont have the large loop. Maybe add and extension to that nipple or longer nipple.

Anyway, the product is very well made (machined) and the hoses and connections appear properly installed. I have never worked with AN fittings before, so I did some research on torque requirements etc... Do not over tighten.

As seen in the pics, I left my oil filter plate in place and stacked the cap on top. It all fit well. I tried to not scratch the cap and hose ends at the engine using shop rags but was not working. You cant see that end anyway.

Like I said at the top, PM me if you have any questions.

 

if you had turned your mounting location 90 degrees counter clockwise wouldnt the fittings have both been angled down negating the need to change the fittings?

otherwise it looks really nice

 

How about in the trunk next to the battery, subwoofer, amp, NOX tank, and spare tire??

 

Thanks

You gave me an Idea Laythor. I am going to take the top (looped hose) and pass it under the Air Pump bracket and up to the nipple. What do you think I got so tired of trying to find a spot that worked I just wanted to get it installed. Not much to go on here in the 8 club, I looked (searched) a long time.

Ya Think? Thats a long way back. Got the spare, Nox - not yet, Subwoof - maybe?

 

yay.. i'm helpful!

 

I don't want it on the exhaust side of the engine in the event something leaks or blows, that would be an instant fire

 

Good point!

 

I hear you. So when you do yours and find the prime spot, take some pics and let us all know. Maybe in the void of the Air Box? I dont have an after market CAI.

 

There is some good space between the airbox and TB beneath the unit, down and out. Also by the brake master cylinder area as well.

Although you won't see the beauty of the unit.

Ideally, functionally you can mount it lower facing down so oil changes are even easier as well.

 

^^^^



I could care less if anyone sees it


Dan, thanks for the heads up on the Canton filter. I didn't think it was available in the M20 thread.

race roots relocation kit vs greddy

http://www.sportcompactonly.com/Mazd...9696_v-153.htm

anyone used the greddy yet?

 

The Canton filter was only $100 shipped from Summit Racing. Said it was out of stock with a 3 week backorder, but I received it a week or so. All three lengths were the same price so I went with the largest 25-482 version.

 

I was looking to buy one from summit too. Did the filter come with one filter element? I was going to but a 6-pack of refills and a seal kit at the same time. Total would have been about $150 if I remember correctly. With 6 filters I would be set for the next 5 years

 

Great looking kit, the Greddy is a pos,cast hardware and hose clamps. Can you mount it so oil doesn't spill .?

 

Yes, it comes assembled complete. They rate the element on the big filter for 20k street miles and 1k race miles under normal conditions. You can drain the housing between oil changes without replacing the element.

 

1 or 2 refills will last me a lifetime. Did you get yours mounted?

 

hey Brice, Are the o-rings the same on this and the greddy kit? if they are and you can sell them seperately please shoot me a PM. Thanks.

 

They are different sizes if I recall correctly, but shoot me an email of the one you wanted with its size I will see if I can get some.

 

well I reinstalled my kit and ended up with my own exxon-valdez experience. So, I would really like to replace all the o-rings in the kit, so I may just run to home depot or something, unless you can point me in the right direction or help me out

 

Just use this with the current O rings :

You can get it at a local auto parts store

 

Thanks Brice

 

Mark? Scott? Did you guys get yours installed curious to see how others have them installed.

 

I still need to get time to install mine. LOL. I love the build ... good stuff, brice.

 

Bumping this for a customer that was asking about this the other day.

Thank you. Post up some pics when you get a chance I would love to see different locations when mounting.

 

any more install pics guys?
