Oil adaptor block on AE101 4azge

[Bozu]

Car - AE86

motor / part in question - AE101 4agze but with turbo

problem - wanting to mount oil filter directly onto engine block

occurs/started when (if applicable)-

personal situation (if applicable)-


Hi,

I have a AE101 4agze engine in my car on which the oil filter is mounted on some sort of OEM adaptor block. (as show here:)

A similar adaptor block is used on the 4agze engines from mr2's only that one has some additional fittings to use with an OEM oil cooler. The adaptor block on my engine does not have additional fittings.

My question is;
Is it possible to mount the oil filter directly onto the block eliminating the adaptor block? As show in picture below:


I think it should be possible by using the threaded bit where the oilfilter normally screws onto and screwing that in the engine block rather then in the adaptor block.

Does anyone have any experience with this?

I tried my best to explain the situation so hopefully it's all clear!

Ae92 GZE filter is mounted straight onto the block.
Get the correct fitting and you shouldn't have a problem.
Get fitting from a 4afc fwd motor.

4agze except for aw11 don't run that separate block so I don't know why you have one. There was a thread about this in this section a few days ago in which I posted a part number for the oil filter bolt.

Are you a 100% sure the oilfilter will fit directly to block with that partnumber? And will seal properly? Not saying I don't believe you mate but as I'm in the Netherlands is harder to get the right parts so I'd rather do it right first time.

Thanks!

Just use a fitting out of a 4afe or 4ac

as above this has already been covered, thread locked
