oil filter relocation kit

Hi R&T,

I understand that you are able to supply a quality relocation kit consisting of the block adaptor, stainless hoses & fittings and filter block for about $400 (as opposed to the crappy ones that leak). Is this still an accurate price for a gen 2, 3SGTE SW20 ?

If so, I have a few questions :
Is the block adaptor a spin on type as I don't think the conventional sandwich adaptors will fit given the close priximity of the dump pipe, dip stick and AC pipes ?

Does the filter block accept fittings for oil pressure and temp sender units (specifically 1/8 NPT) ?

Where would the filter be located ? I understand any relocated filter should not be placed higher that the factory location as this could compromise oil pressure upon start-up. In my case, I think the only viable location would be underneath the dump pipe somewhere as there is a big PWR intercooler occupying the right hand side area.

What would you charge to install the kit ?

Could a noob like me install the kit with basic knowledge and tools, or are these kits best left to a professional like yourself ?

Are you open on Saturday ? Thanks for your response

    i cannot still supply for that price. everything imported has risen heaps.
    they dont have the fittings for oil pressure or temp., but that can be arranged
    I'll work out a new price and let you know
    If you have a hoist or good set of ramps, and lots of time, you will be able to fit it OK
    thanks for the interest
