| I need your opinions/thoughts guys... I am considering designing In-line oil filters for our turbo oil feed lines, Which will possibly go to for a GROUP BUY, Depending on interest.
I have spent about 4 hrs of researching, finding SO many different options etc.. and I think I have narrowed it down.
The setups will most likely incorporate...--Two serviceable, 20 to 40 micro in-line oil filters (one for each turbo) (which only need to be cleaned, not replaced)--.035" restrictors (GT28R,GT28RS, GT2871R, GT3071, etc)
-- 2 piece -4AN SS braided oil feed lines (4 lines total) (Will replace stock hard lines)
--ALL Necessary fittings,crush washers etc.
--I am also planning on fabricating some brackets to secure the in-line filters.
I need to know which you guys think you would rather prefer..
The filters mounted up higher, toward the engine bay to service/clean or down underneath near the turbo area to make the lines a little shorter which can be serviced when under vehicle changing engine oil. While, I do not think making the lines a little longer to reach engine bay will adversely effect anything.. I think it may be best to keep them shorter. I am not sure which would be the best bet.. now would be a good time for some to chime in.. I will be purchasing some things to get this started but will need to do some tests to ensure there aren't any problems. Please let me know of any thoughts! I have not come up with any solid dollar amount estimates yet.. I will keep you updated when I purchase a setup for my own Z. After conducting my research, I have found that this would really help prolong the life of our turbochargers.. As long as the filter elements are on a preventative maintenance schedule, there should not be any issues. It will ensure that the turbo will only "see" oil that have no contaminants. I will be doing this to help the Z community out.. not out to make fat pockets.
Thanks!
