I am very interested, I had planned on this, but never got that far. I have the stock 951 cooler, but would like to add one or go bigger and screw the messy stock location.

Quite frankly, if you hadn't been planning to release a far more thoughtful product, I was going to order a Jegs universal spin-on hose adapter and remote-mount my filter anyway.

There's NO WAY I'm changing that filter again until I remote mount it, engine be damned - it's far too much a PITA.

Are you taking pre-orders on your setup? I'd gladly do it!

If I'm going through all that, I'd rather put in an accusump (dry sump lubrication system). Unfortunately, a good accusump system runs about $1000 to $2000.

But I don't want to discourage you, adrial: go for it!

nine-44, The extra oil cooling that this will offer will be minimal compared to adding an extra oil cooler. The filter will be in a position where it will be in airflow, as will part of the lines. A true radiator style oil cooler will not be included though. Later on, I may produce a kit that includes an oil cooler. However, for the time being I recommend the KISS engineering oil cooler. It's on my list of parts to order/install!

Sam,
I'll take pre-orders after I have a prototype ready. I dont want to jump the gun on this.


Well like I said Zoltan, I am considering plumbing in an Accusump as well.

$1000 to $2000 for a good accusump?? Is it made out of gold? Check out the stuff Canton offers...A few hundred for the pump itself. After that its just valves/hose/adapters. If I offer an accusump I expect it will be well under $1000.

With all the interest thats being shown, I'll get cracking on this!

I will likely be offering 2 kits. One will use a standard spin-on oil filter, the other will use a a filter that uses replaceable elements.
