FEnatic Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 I am using this F54 block for my driver, but this looks different with the 4 bolt holes around the filter than the rest of my L28's. Does the oil filter just spin on like the others? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mario_82_ZXT Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 Maybe an oil cooler. Mario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FEnatic Posted June 26, 2005 Author Share Posted June 26, 2005 did the Turbos come with an oil cooler? If so, anyone have the adapter plate for sale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
materchan Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 the turbo autos came with an air-oil oil cooler. that would use the top bolt only. if you feel saucy you can use a diesel maxima water-oil oil cooler. that cooler would use all four of the bolts on the block Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akeizm Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 My old l26 block was just a hole in the side which you screwed your filter into. The l28 block I have has that arrangement that you have in your photo. You need to bolt on the oil filter mount. Its usually a rightangled piece that the filter screws onto.

zbuild Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 Its not a real good shot, but you can see in this pic the position your filter ends up in if you have the oil filter bracket http://www.240z.id.au/images/car/eng_tran/eng2_12_1.jpg I'll see if I can find a better pic of it Cheers - Zbuild Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FEnatic Posted June 27, 2005 Author Share Posted June 27, 2005 Good picture, I get the jist of it, is yours the oil cooler or just a plate? Does anyone have a pic of the turbo oil cooler adapter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zbuild Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 Here ya go, I took a better pic when I got home. .. http://www.240z.id.au/images/car/other/filtermount.jpg Mine has an oil takeoff adaptor mounted on top. . .the brass fittings take the oil to an oil thermostat and then on to an RX7 oil cooler.

AK-Z Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 I think zcarparts.com sells a oil cooler for the non turboed versons of the engine. http://www.zcarparts.com/store/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=PCLC03 Its basically the same but the piece that goes to the cooler is just sandwiched between the block and the filter and doesn't require the right angle piece. I'm pretty sure you could use it on the turboed blocks (f54 block). Anyone can correct me if I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zbuild Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 The one in my pic above is the same. . . you dont necessarily need he mount that fits to the block, there's a threaded tube in the middle that either screws into the mount, or if you dont have the mount, directly to the block. I run (external to this setup) an oil thermostat, but You can get. . and I am going to get one shortly, the same sandwiched block with an inbuilt thermostat. One of my oil hoses blew off my external thermostat and drained my 7 litre sump in seconds, luckily I shut my engine down before any damage occurred, but Ive learned my lesson. . .no more barbed fittings and hose clamps, Im going to get screw in fittings on stainless lines. cheers zbuild Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FEnatic Posted June 28, 2005 Author Share Posted June 28, 2005 So, I can bolt any oil cooler to this flange on the block? If so, I will just get one from the local shop, but if not, do I need the stock turbo setup? This is kind of confusing me. Thanks for the replies though, I'm learning!

zbuild Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 Yes. . you can use a sandwich plate like the one above between your block and your oil filter.. hoses run from this sandwich block to your oil cooler. These blocks are just used as a take-off point for oil, you can then do what you want with the oil. Hope this clears up the misunderstanding - cheers zbuild Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
