Recently I've had both threaded oil hoses break lose and need replacement. Thats done.

Now the base fitting where the hoses connect to the engine is lose and leaks.

Basically I was wondering if this is a nessecity to my turbo 5SFE, or would just the filter be okay. Its the HKS kit, and I haven't been able to find much info on it.

Thanks.

The main reason for the relocater is access. With the 3sgte manifold and DP its a really tight fit to get the oil filter off the block. Another reason for one would be if your running a 2 filter kit, you would have the "extra cleaning power" of 2 filters and be able to hold a bit more oil than normal.


Id really like to ssee how you have it setup also if you have pics.

Yeah, thats the main problem with the hoses. You can't really hold a bend on them to keep them away from the block, and since they're so close the heat just gets to em and they break.

If I did get the filter fitted on the block would it be too close to the heat?

Also, does the circular fitting on the block just screw on? Or is it sealed some other way?

Thanks
