Title: Oil filter and Super Competition Post by: low61 on June 26, 2010, 21:37:25 pm Hello!
Who has experience with a full flow oil filter in combination with CSP Super Competition exhaust system in a VW Beetle? Yesterday I spent some time under my car, but have not yet found a perfect place for the oil filter bracket and nor the hose guide. The preferred placement under the fender to the bumper bracket does not really work because of the muffler there. Does anyone have such a configuration in use? For many answers and tips, possibly with a photo I would be grateful! Alex ???

Probably switch it to a dual muffler by csp afterwards. to get an impression of the actual situation I attached a picture [attachment=1] Title: Re: Oil filter and Super Competition Post by: Torben Alstrup on June 29, 2010, 10:06:32 am I use Dunlop flame shield around the hoses to secure them. And yes, it is a PITA to get around that system, as it is so compact.

very innovative position by the way! Title: Re: Oil filter and Super Competition Post by: Lanny Hussey on June 30, 2010, 04:58:40 am I don't think the brass fitting is modified, the case was done by Brothers Machine in SoCal, sleeved lifter bores also. 2332 EFI :)

[attachment=1] after some measuring I welded a bracket. Worked real well at first testdrives. and it got the right looks (imho) as you can see the filter from the rear ;D Title: Re: Oil filter and Super Competition Post by: stealth67vw on July 18, 2010, 22:24:47 pm With some well thought out plumbing and a simple bracket, the filter assy can fit directly below the distributor, under the tin. Are you running sled tin? Seems like if you were, you would heat up your oil more than needed. |
