  • dual oilfilters

    yeah i know this is overkill, but so are most of the things in my build... every little bit helps


    will that work for our engines?
    if it does work, wouldnt i be able to use the filters for our engines too???

    it doesnt specify the thread size for the adaptor or what kind of filters are needed.

    i too want one like this, just never looked into it.

      M18x1.5 for the center adapter thing that goes on the block.

      the oil filters that you use for the adapter thing itseld are ford based oil filters but i got ac delco oil filters for mine there pretty big oil filters that go on the dual mount thing.

      ill check the part number on the ones i got later.

      i just havent mounted it in the car yet was trying to find a good spot to put them.

      Perma-Cool 10795 they give you enough adapter fittings so your not screwed

        Bleh, more chance for engine failure due to hose letting go or something. I'd personally just run a larger filter.

          More oil capacity = better protection and cooler oil. Do it up.

          Im running duals too. Biggest issue for me is finding a spot to mount the bracket for the dual filters.

            ^^^^ im running out of places to stuff shit. ive already got the remote filter for the trans and the fuel pressure gauge box, the relays for the fans.

            once i get everything all set im gonna find a spot to mount it.

            hmm maybe its time to banisht the battery to the trunk i could use that spot.

              Remote filters are nice. Duals are a waste of time though. I would just run 1 larger filter. A Delco PF2 which is a 1QT filter that fits on those adapters is also available from Wix as a 2QT filter. Both are overkill.

              Running 1 larger filter would also be cheaper over the life of the car since most large filters cost the same as small filters.

              If you want really high quality adapters and mounts then only buy from Canton racing. The kit you posted will almost never work out. I have not used even 1 straight fitting on both systems I installed. Your better off buying the adapter and then mount them and figuring out where it all will go and then what fittings you will need. You should also run the AN cutter style ends on some braided hose. Those kits rely on barbed hose fittings with clamps. Not a safe way to go when heat, pressure and vital engine fluid are all is the same equation.

                You could always put the remote ones in the large open area behind the bumper on the passenger side (inside the front of the wheel well) if you leave your wheel well in. Just don't use dual Frams :P I agree with Betterthenyou on the braided SS hose and AN fittings FWIW.

                  I personaly like the TDC and TGP water cooled oil filter adapters. But since I'm keeping the AC on the beretta, Im needing something like the Caddilac oil cooler. But I think 3*00 berettas can use the TDC , TGP oil coolers if the A/C mounts like the w-body.

                  Also the TDC TGP ones act like a oil heater in cold winter days.

                      They are common parts. A lot of V8's had them too. There are also the in radiator oil cooler/warmers. They are more of a temperature stabilization unit. They will keep the oil at the same temp as the engine coolant which actually is the perfect temperature for any oil.

                        The stock trans coolers don't work quite that well though... My t-stat was 185 and engine temp never went over 190, but my trans was able to climb up to 205 at one time... since I saw that I put just an external cooler on it and I'm planning on getting a remote filter to go in-line on that as well.

                          205 wont hurt anything. But cool transmission oil is good.

                            I can see gains from putting external coolers on and such, but what real gain will you have putting on duel filters, remote filters, etc.? If you change it regularly why does it matter...? Only thing "crazy" like that I do is use a pf 52 instead of the pf 47 because it's slightly bigger, and that's because it's easier to grab to take off and put on. My uncle used to use bigger wix filters on his trucks until he lost a engine. He had other people change his oil and they don't pre-fill the filters, and obiviously you guys all do so you shouldn't have that problem... But still, why?

                              Larger oil capacity or a cooler can be beneficial - if the engine runs hot and the oil also gets above the desirable temp. I don't believe that is generally the case with the V6.

                              Adding another oil filter is senseless - more potential for problems and no upside. Just use a good single filter.

                              We often use a remote (single) filter on the race cars, normally in the external oil circuit right before the cooler, or on street cars where the spin-on filter won't clear the frame of the car. Some people use low pressure hosing, arguing (correctly) that it is a low pressure circuit and that's all you need. I use Aeroquip line and fittings because I don't want any failures, ever.
