Greddy Oil Filter relocation Kit MODIFICATION
4 Attachment(s)
I bought a set of Greddy oil relo kit - and after having read threads about the hoses popping at WOT, I decided to make a mod by replacing the barbed fittings w/ 8AN fittings (initially by wacking off the barb and welding on a AN fitting) - but decided to machine me a new set of new one piece fittings.
This way there is no chance of the hoses slipping off w/ the clamps. I am working on the fittings for the hose. I got a still braided teflon hose rated at 3000psi from work (I know its overkill), but hey WTF, its my car :) The only reason I did this is because: 1. I own this Greddy kit - and now that I know the fittings suck, I am gonna fix it (obviously I can't send it back to the company I bought it from - been too long). 2. I can't sell it to another forum member - that's passing the problem onto someone else. It cost a little more to do this than just the original kit itself. But it will not slip off under any condition. You can see the original pieces w/ the barb fitting and the new pieces w/ the 8AN fittings. I even put grooves for the rubber rings. Fits perfectly. Anyway, just wanted to share this w/ the forum. Del |
you better put a Paten on that!

It's been documented... :)
|
I wonder how many people have the relo kit and are using it as is?
|
i thought about doing it but couldnt find the advantage other than dont have to take the elbow and intake ping off.
so i dont take the chance. but nice job thanks for posting up for future rotor heads. got any part #s for those an fittings? |
The fittings are your standard AN fittings size 8 (1/2") - the fittings you see in the pics are machined from one piece (thread, nut and fitting).
|
you should make a couple of those and sell it as a kit, I know I would buy a set..
|
Doesn't racing beat have an oil filter relocation kit too? and even a setup for 2 oil filters?
|
always wondered why people relocate the oil filter as its in a pretty easy spot to get to.

I have a Greddy relocation kit and I would be interested in this too
|
I am picking the rest of the pieces/fittings for the hoses - I'll post pics tonight w/ all parts assembled - just not installed in the car - I think I will install this weekend.

Here are the parts to complete the set - I used the existing hoses that came w/ the kit and inserted fittings that can handle up to 3000psi.
The other end is identical, though not yet finished - need to measure lenght needed. After inserting the fittings w/ the aid of a hydraulic machine, we were unable to remove the fitting - trust me we tried. As this is a screw on fitting, it will not pop off at WOT. I'll take a pic of the kit installed. |
