Anyone pieced together their own oil filter relocation kit?

Let me know how this works out. My filter is a bit of a tight tolerance pain I. The *** to get to with the Stillen thermostatic adapter on there. It doesn't help that I used a larger filter too though I suppose. Would be interested in something like this.

I don't have an answer to ideal placement however. In my case I'll have more room in that front passenger side so would likely work for me.

Based on that Moroso adapter you could probably put it anywhere along the path to the oil cooler? Just thinking out loud here.

No oil cooler for me... Gamma oil pan (which is why servicing the filter is kind of a pain). From some light googling, looks like there is no real harm in locating the filter higher in the compartment. I have plenty of space where the OEM air boxes used to go... So I am going to put it up there if I can figure out a bracket. Will order some parts tonight and take pics along the way this holiday when I do the mod.

Cool, I didn't know you weren't running a cooler at all.

At least your holiday mods this year will be less intense than last

Got an 'out for delivery' on the frozenboost intercooler so am working from home today so I don't miss it.

Yup... Even in the FL summer my oil temps stay pretty well in check with the Gamma pan... It's cheap too, has all the ports you need, and increases the capacity to almost 2 gallons.... I am kind of surprised it isn't a much more popular mod around here. Getting to the oil filter is a royal pain the in *** though... might be easier if you don't have a turbo drain hose running through the same area.
No kidding!!!!! Though I also won't have the benefit of a lift and an extra pair of hands =)
I am really looking forward to your build!

You and me both! Intercooler just came 5 mins ago!

The SC is self-oiling so I don't need the ports otherwise I'd be ordering a pan too. I'll take a look while I'm under there and see what can be done about relating my filter. Thanks for the idea

I've got it torn down now and put it back together as parts roll in this week - will start a thread when there is more than a partially disassembled engine to show.
