Hey guys thinking of moving my oil filter to a better location can anyone recommend a good set up. Is it difficult to do and is there any issues i could come across.
Cheers Ants

Something like this? http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motor ... 177286.htm
There's a few on tardme, looks to be a reasonably simple install

Has anyone who's done this had any issues such as drop in oil pressure?

depending on how you do it, make sure you're certain on which way you've got the hoses connected. ie oil flow direction.

I've heard of a lot of guys who've munted 1-UZ's because the pipes are around the wrong way. Their usual sign was a drop in oil pressure followed by the lengine lunching itself. Oil filters have a definite inlet and outlet.


Ive used a kit the same as in the link but due to my engine mount height on my 1-uz i had to do away with the factory oil filter mount/plate and get a custom one made up, just two pipes sticking up off a plate with fittings to take the hoses.

I've mounted my filter up behind the headlight as it was about the only free space left.

I fitted one of these from apet racing in my car with the oil cooler. Very easy to install. I had no pressure drop.

got a double filter setup on the 302 in vomitron.. works sweet. no pressure drop. dead set simple.

Cheers for the info guys i went for the Apet setup and have made sure that i got the pipes round the right way.
Won't have it up and running for a wee while yet but hopefully she will be all sweet.
