ReSpeed Oil filter relocation kit

Checkout this perfect new location for my oil filter, it mounts to my old AC bolt holes and It's inverted so I can pre-fill the the filter(Highly recomended by Engine builders). It sits lower in the engine bay where temps are cooler

I used Wix filter 1515 from Napa which is perfect because it has a internal bypass, absolutely necessary when you toss your beehive cooler.

Another great product from ReSpeed

I'm running a 86-88 t2 front mount cooler with Icor progold nylon/kevlar lines(love them). I picked up a block off plate from Respeed aswell, it has two ports built in, one for my turbo supply line and one for my oil temp gauge. It's cool to see your oil temp go from 180f @ 15 mph to 140f @ 60mph in no time. The front mount definitely does it's job.

Just a little warning, If you are considering swapping to a front mount, BUY A COOLER THAT HAS THE LINES! If not be prepared to spend approx. $180-$200 for everything you need for the conversion(AN fittings are a killer ).
