    Help random overheating/temp spike!

    My point is it's hard to help when you don't get answers. Edit: As in 20 posts ago.

    Is German Castrol really going the way of the dinosaur?

    Yeah...there's no predicting which store will have it...seems to be completely at random :confused: Guess you just have to keep checking the same stores. Yep...stores in "economically challenged" areas will be more likely to have it. Folks that live around these stores will rarely run a...

    Harness question

    ^^^ Yep...you will have to look at the ECU (behind the glovebox) to see if the plugs are yellow or grey. An auto harness will work on a manual car, but not vice versa...you have to modify wiring for the neutral start switch w/ an auto harness on a manual tranny iirc. You can get a harness...

    Is German Castrol really going the way of the dinosaur?

    Read Post #'s 4, 6, and 7: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=38768 Looks like you came across 6 bottles of the GC Green...nice find ;) I've been seeing GC pop-up in a few AutoZone stores around where I live too....one batch had M07 date codes, but were early '07...

    Oil Relocation Adapter for Dual Filter Remote (Conventional + Bypass)

    I see your concern using a dual filter head...it utilizes parallel flow. However, the Trasko sets itself into bypass mode (what you want in this set-up) at 8-16 psi. Even using parallel flow, there is more than sufficient pressure across the filter head for the Trasko to function. Especially...

    Oil Relocation Adapter for Dual Filter Remote (Conventional + Bypass)

    The Trasko I'm using on my tranny is working as advertised. The Trasko has an internal valve that creates a pressure differential between the input to the filter to the outlet. It works great. Here's another type of bypass filter...the Motor Guard...

    Oil Relocation Adapter for Dual Filter Remote (Conventional + Bypass)

    The Trasko is designed to filter only a small amount of oil...approx 5% of the flow through the filter head. All bypass filters work this way. Eventually all the oil is run through the Trasko over time...it keeps the oil very clean and free of particulates. If you really want to go all...

    Oil Relocation Adapter for Dual Filter Remote (Conventional + Bypass)

    He's talking about this: http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=PRM%2D1223&N=700+400006+310274+115&autoview=sku It allows you to mount two spin on type filters. Adam is going to mount one conventional filter (a Wix...very good choice) and a Trasko Bypass...

    my New Blitz Nur

    Nah...it is a bit too long....1"-2" is about accurate. With a little tweaking, you can get it to fit fine with a stock CAT or std length test pipe ;)

    Idiots who do not do oil change should suffer!!!

    LOL...no, it never does and I doubt it ever will JJ ;) The only way to find out if an oil has lost it's effectiveness is with analysis: http://www.blackstone-labs.com/ Even some of the less expensive (i.e. cheap) oils will keep doing their job well past the 3000 mile interval the local...

    Idiots who do not do oil change should suffer!!!

    Black oil does not mean that it is bad (another myth)...however, particles in the oil is bad. http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=51545 A good syn oil will last 8K easy, assuming you're using a good filter (changed at 4K miles)...even a good Group III oil will go 5K no problem.

    Help random overheating/temp spike!

    It sounds like your thermostat is sticking. The reason I asked about the CT26 coolant lines is they act like a bypass to relieve pressure...I blocked mine off and had a similar problem to yours...the blocked lines caused the thermostat to stick closed. The difference is when the thermostat...

    Help random overheating/temp spike!

    Are you using a CT26 with the factory coolant lines installed or are you using an aftermarket oil cooled turbo and blocked the coolant lines off?

    Oil Relocation Adapter for Dual Filter Remote (Conventional + Bypass)

    This size at minimum: http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=BMM%2D70272&N=700+115&autoview=sku Or if you need one a different shape, the same total area and thickness. Running a Trasko/Wix combo is a good way to go ;)

    Oil Relocation Adapter for Dual Filter Remote (Conventional + Bypass)

    Ok...that Earl's adapter should be fine to use and should come with the o-ring to effect the seal to the block. It's better quality than a PermaCool. The o-ring you are referring to is really not an o-ring per say. It's a rubber gasket that is the same type you see on a filter that has a flat...

    Oil Relocation Adapter for Dual Filter Remote (Conventional + Bypass)

    O-ring size should be close to the size of the filter gasket...it doesn't have to be exact. All it has to do is seal against the flat surface of the filter head or block and allow unrestricted flow to the adapter.
