Hi all,

Currently trying to get the oil filter of cheff stageas wags for him and it seems as if theirs a bracked or something on the side/next to it that stops it from comming loose?

Is this correct if so whats the go with removing it to change the oilfilter?

Its a stock setup no filter relocation kit or anything :(

Fast replys would be good :banana:

Cheers,

Chris

pics.... are you serious? lol how the f would i get a camera in their!!?? Dono if its tighter on stageas but fark this no room to move at all once ur on the filter with ur hands and its done up sooo f**king tight!

I/We (cheffstagea) feel like f**king idiots... Cant get this oil filter off at all! Done filter/oil on rb25's a fair bit and its a piece of piss but this f**ker just wont come of!!! Dono if its over tight or what? Boostworx did the 100K 5K ago and should have changed it then but dont see why they'd do it up this tight....

When I did my first oil change on mine I spent literally a half hour trying to get to f**ker off because whoever the cart was that installed it had done it up way too tight. I ended up having to buy one of those filter socket tools.

Even with this tool I had to get it to bite into the edge of the filter. Worked in the end though! I will now only use the Drift and K&N filters that have a nut welded to the end of the filter.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
