Any pics showing where someone's mounted it down below, or just a good area with the filter downward?

I'd prefer to not have the filter inverted to try and help a little with dry starts, especially after changing the filter since you can't pre-fill it with oil with it upside down.

By filters that have one way check valves. That will keep them from draining and dry starting.

I know that, but when you change it and throw that dry filter on upside down, sideways, or whatever angle it's at, it doesn't have oil in it. I just figure if I'm going out of my way to relocate it, I might as well help with that.

Ooh, I like the location. Had not thought of that. Not a fan of bolting it to the fuse box, but then I see you did good and used a backing plate. Nice.

But... Fram?

Quick Question - Is the gasket used the same size as the gasket that would be found on an actual oil filter?

I was originally going to install like yours but while test fitting tonight I couldn't find a spot on the fuse box I was happy with and still have clearance for my BOV.

Then it dawned on me... I've got a BHR shroud .. two holes and (ideally) a couple sheet metal screws and I should be done and in my new favorite spot...









I shut it down for the night on account of lack of lighting. I have all the plugs wrapped and ready to go... will likely finish it up mid morning tomorrow.

Got mine all buttoned up but am looking to redo the lines. I'm not all that familiar with AN sizing. Does anyone know the designation for the hose fittings?

Will post some pictures shortly.

Was thinking AN10. Just measured my cut connector and its OD is right about 1/2" ... so a 5/8 hose sounds about right.

Thanks Dan!

Is the o-ring adapter the same size too? Looks to be the same without me removing one of mine (Summit Racing® AN O-Ring to AN Adapter Fittings SUM-220164B - SummitRacing.com).

Here are some pictures of the install:

To all that get this kit, double check your AN fittings. One of my hoses was not made properly and a gap was left that caused a leak. Check each end against each other to ensure they are all the same.

You had to be that guy, now my other hose is leaking the same way as the previous.

Looks like I will be tightening this one up too, or saying screw it and making my own lines "The Correct Way"

Blox, I replaced my RR kit with it, its exactly the same. Just no lines, but those can be made for 30 bucks.

Good luck with that ;-)

4 -10 fittings and 6ish feet of braided hose is a lot more than that :-)
