My VIII GSR Build - Complete Tranformation

[Evo8Frankie]

Oh is yours a 260 mate as ive got 2 off 3/8 sockets on my oil filter housing so only needed 2 off 3/8 to 1/8 npt reducers and have tapped into these for oil temp and pressure.

could send me a link or pic to a adapter so i can fit the temp sensor.

Well got the discs and pads fitted, handbrake tightened .... erm yeah... there on and bedded them in for around the 50mile mark(ish),while i was there i cleaned and buffed up the pad retaining pins and rattle shim.

The car is absolutely minging :blush: and i need a slap for letting it get this bad.. but hey its a Evo right? :angel:

 

[raph]

Yeah mine a 260. Do they have outlets for a gauge ?


Whats a pf? So your telling.me i dont need a sandwhich plate?

Oh I managed to snap a pic of the oil ports on the housing

 

[raph]

 

[raph]

Here you can see the ports that make a oilfilter sandwich plate redundant.
Pic is from a spare 260 engine I have in the shed, sorry about the poor lighting

[Evo8Frankie]

Great stuff i search for it and found out there is 2 8mm allen bolts on the housing. When you say ypu have a spare 260 engine in the garage does it have a aux belt tensioner as i need one the beariny on mine is squeeling like a pig lol

 

[raph]

I already used the tensioner ,as you can see its missing

 

[raph]

Oh im working on finding the right sized bearing , Ill post it up when i find a replacement,so a squeaky bearing doesnt have to warant replacing the whole unit in the future

 

[Ev0Bee]

I love this build.... a mammoth task tho!

Just a note on running gauges off the oil filter housing is there is a serious lack of space on the one closer to the engine, guess you could get a sensor in but would be a fiddle job. I have a sandwich plate for my depos, Saying that I have a fp oil feed running off the one filter port.

Iv got both, a sandwich plate and a plug adapter, not yet attempted it, whats better to use, the sandwich plate or the adapter ?
