Where did you mount your full flow oil filter?

[Bren]

Thanks for all the good feedback. Here is how I ended up doing mine. I used 3/8" hydraulic lines with fittings pre-crimped and a couple swivel connectors. I would like to use some of the Fyrejacket to protect them. Need to research where to get that.

The fire jacket is top notch I used a heat sleeve from a dodge caravan ox sensor wiring on mine also made a louvreed plastic cover that zip ties in to keep rocks out of the oil filter. Aeromech your install is gorgeous

Just saw this little doodad from Chico Performance Racing in Southern California- for keeping your full-flow hoses off exhaust j-tubes.

"Will not work with heat exchangers"

Although it's better than having the hoses flopping around and touching or laying on the pipes it is not the best of designs. Instead of the hoses being one above the other if they were side by side in a horizontal orientation then they would be that much further away from the heat of the pipes.

Those only work with J tubes and not with Heat Exchangers. The hoses end up fairly close to the rear of the heads. With HE's the hoses need to be around 4" rearward from the heads. And that far to the rear there is only a little over 2" between the upper and lower pipes.

I like to go off roading with my bus so have concerns about mounting the remote oil filter behind the tire or next to the engine mount (mustache) bar.

I am envisioning it inside the engine compartment; attached to the spare tire well

I do read that people are concerned with oil coolers inside the engine compartment, which I can understand as you want fresh air for your cooling system.

Additionally I live in the PNW where it doesn't get too hot, and have properly sealed off my engine compartment for this fresh engine install

My oil lines, cooler, T-Stat and oil filter are all located in my engine bay. After a lot of trending, the my oil returns to the case 30° then it left.

Here’s my oil lines, they were customly machined into the case. The oil leaves the bottom and returns on the top. I’m using Parker hoses and fittings.

Here’s my T-stat/oil filter set up. The T-stat is located behind the plate, everything is super compact.

Here’s my cooler and fan. The cooler is two T4 oil coolers that run in parallel with a custom shroud and my fan is controlled by a switch that is located on my gauge cluster. I did not want it to automatically turn on like some people have it set up.

This is how I did it :

^Looks clean! Aren’t you worried about debris conking off the trite and damaging a line or the filter? I would be. I bet a mud flap would offer a lot of protection.

If you had a 1980~83 VW 1600 Vanagon air-cooled, CT or CZ series engine crankcase, you wouldn't need to mess about with remote full-flow oil filter mountings, because it already has one on the crankcase like the VW 1900 & 2100 Vanagon water-cooled flat-four engines.

Note that the photograph has been incorrectly printed, with the left & right-hand sides transposed, which to those knowledgeable about 1973~79 VW Type 2s, would be obvious, from the apparent shape of the engine-bay perimeter and the positions of the spare-wheel well and computer-diagnostics socket!

I made a nice bracket that mounts my oil filter up tight under the drivers side battery tray. Yet it requires no drilling of the body anywhere to mount it. It's pretty slick actually.
