Default New Product - Billet Oil Filter console

Whether you’re running a engine mounted oil cooler or one of the factory oil filter consoles, you’ll want to take a look at my new billet oil filter console. For starters, it looks amazing, quite unlike the factory offerings.From a function standpoint, I have a big problem with the existing solutions. Not only is the engine mounted oil cooler pretty ineffective at actually cooling the motor, it doesn’t exist in the 964 / 993 models, so what does that tell you about it’s usefulness.

Filter console options are also limited; there are unicorns like the 959 and 965 filter consoles which aren’t available, leaving you with the sole option of using the 993 console which leaves much to be desired.For starters, the 993 console doesn’t include the return line in the same fitting; Porsche makes you buy a separate widget to attach the incoming line.

Additionally, the 993 console places the filter hanging vertically down, which makes it a bear to actually replace the filter.My console angles the filter like the unobtainum 965 console, but not only that, it includes a female connector for a -16AN line so that you don’t have to attach multiple pieces. You get a clean install, a beautiful looking product rendered in aircraft grade aluminum, and you get a filter that’s easy to change and access.If you’re looking to add a filter to your pressure circuit like the later cars, this is the one you want.

Doesn’t require modification of your engine tin (or anything else for that matter). You will, however, need to do something with the early fan shroud which has a duct specifically for the engine mounted oil cooler. We suggest blocking it off, or switching to a late shroud. Price – $395, available now:

First batch are not, next batch is. Thus far we are making them in clear anodized finish, but we can do any color desired.

When does one need this product?
Are there any pictures of it installed in a 993?

Guys,

An apology is in order on my part. This product was originally developed for 1965-1989 911s and 930s, and 964s without power steering. It is billed as a "993 style oil filter console" that ironically, does NOT fit the 993 due to the PS pump.

I cross posted it to this forum not remembering the 993 PS pump, so again sorry for the trouble.

However, this debacle has inspired me to make a straight down filter version that will actually fit on a 993. Look for that soon......

An easy remote filter location would be nice. Hate the engine mounted filter (lack of) access.

The 993 engine utilizes two oil filters - one at the thermostat housing under the oil tank, and one hanging off the case that serves the hydraulic lifters...

Yes, I know, I am talking about a pressure side filter. Oh, and while Porsche officially put that filter there for the lifters, its main benefit to me is filtering the oil that heads to the main bearings.
