MMR Billet Oil Filter Relocation Kit (Wanting PICTURES)

[R3dfireCobra]

Anyone have pictures of one of MMR oil relocation kits mounted in their car? Im looking for some feedback too with the setup. With the Team Z k-member I have only been able to run an STP S2 filter and no amount of grinding will I be able to clear another filter without affecting structural integrity so a relocation is my only option if I want to run a quality filter.

Thanks guys

I don't have a picture of it on my car as It's taken apart right now. But the only issue I had with it is it leaked a bit where the fittings screw into the hat. I'm going to try some teflon tape to stop this. or go back to stock.

I made a custom bracket and mounted it behind my drivers side fog light. If it doesn't stop leaking at the fittings I'm going back to stock. I have a upr kmember so it might be a bit different on where you mount it.

That's not reassuring, what did you use prior to sealing the threads? I would think some kind of thread sealant or did it have some kind of feature built in to keep it from leaking?

I never put anything on it. I thought It being a billet piece with expensive redhorse fittings it wouldn't need it but I was wrong.

Is it an npt fitting? expensive or not, npt fittings should have some sort of sealant applied.

Yep

Ya I know I screwed up on the install, trying to get things done quick never works out well.

The only let down with the kit is, the lack of options of filters to use. I don't know why a company that builds ford engines, not make the filter accept ford filters. The new threads are smaller on where the filter goes.

Which kit do you want pictures of? The one with the spin on adapter or the block adapter?

 

[R3dfireCobra]

I'll take whichever you got. I'm looking at the spin on adapter one.

Oh that's no good lol. Like everyone else has stated you still have to seal the threads. Billet just means its out of a solid piece and NC machined. I figured the quality of the components was poor. We all rush and make mistakes sometimes no big deal. Im sure its a good unit, just take apart and seal the threads now.

TT nobody with pictures? Even Google doesn't have anything...

Done

Here's the only decent picture I could find of mine. Went out there and you can't even see it with everything installed. Mine is the block adapter. -16AN braided to the radiator, -8AN for the oil lines. Don't mind all the power steering and up pipes/downpipes. Filter is tucked between the wheel well and bumper. Let me know if you want pictures of that too.

 

[R3dfireCobra]

Thanks for the pic, ya I can barely see it in there. Would you happen to have a pic of where the filter is mounted?
