Interesting..I just went with the Mamba kit which was cheaper but works fine. It had a new banjo adapter to replace the original factory one, avoided having to bash out the old filter and risk reusing it at the block attachment. Also - if you remove the heat shroud it's way easier to to get to the bolts at the turbo end.
@matthewkeim68403 жыл бұрын
I brought a Aeroflow oil feed hose kit. It wasn't cheap, but like u said, you don't want to destroy your turbo. The inline oil filter has a large reusable filter, so you can easily clean it out, being reusable u can clean it out more often. I also bought the Aeroflow oil and water bracket, which looks pretty good. I have to thank you for doing this video mate, I know what I have to do now. Yeah I reckon the Aeroflow bracket and feed line is a bit better than your kit. I don't like the idea of having to keep buying filters all the time. Is your turbo 3584

I did this on my FG nearly 2 years ago at about 80,000 KM. It all went smoothly, with no leaks. My filter had no signs of blocking up. The original filter on the FG/FGX is substantially larger than the one on the BA/BF so they're probably less prone to blocking up. I also suspect that those who have had problems drive their car hard, don't change their oil often enough, and use cheap oil.

I like the stock piping and crossover too, I have put a heat resistant stick on matting on the underside of my crossover and trimmed carefully to do the underside of the turbo intake pipe and the turbo pipe to the throttle body without being able to be seen from the top. I have also fitted a growler intake to replace my factory airbox(which I previously had a k&n panel filter in) Although expensive, definitely an improvement over the stock airbox with better fuel economy I have found and still retains a somewhat factory look.

Some opinions suggest the filter was put in place after there were failures of turbos from casting sand making the blocks killed the turbos. This filter was supposed to be cleaned at each service and then removed after 100ks? This filter is not known in all turbo feed lines in other turbo models cars. Replace the line as suggested in this video or just remove the filter from the factory line if your engine has done over 100k? or just clean and replace filter. Do your own research, if you need total peace of mind put a inline filter replacement. I have two turbo territorys, one with a replacement inline filter and one with the factory filter removed. I guess for me time will tell. You be your own judge, research and then own your final decision. The first indication your factory filter is blocking is a oil pressure low indication light. The sensor is downstream of the filter. Dont drive around if this fault light comes up.

The reason is the early BAs used to blow turbos from swarf getting into the oil line from factory production tolerances not being amazing in the casting process. Generally when the car has done over 20,000kms it wasn't much of an issue, and it improved in later models. So if the car has had regular oil changes you technically don't need a filter, but it also dosent hurt.

For sure.

yes you can but you will need to remove and either clean and replace at least each time you do an oil change

Stop leaving your oil change past 5000km then and you wont have coked oil block the line will you. Engine flush every second change or just remove the bango bolt and take the filter out... just some ideas for your Fixed Or Repaired Daily.

The problem is, aside from the standard filter being too small, it's also plastic cased so it gets brittle over time. You don't need to use engine flush either. Nothing wrong with fords.

Tools, yes just buy when you can cos you never know when you need them. You have the basics but specialised tools are usually once in a blue moon purchase. Glad the turbo oil feed kit has worked for you. I always read & re-read if I need to do any major work. Eventually someone you know will want to do the same thing and you can easily show them. I'm not a fan of HubNuts work. He borrowed a Holden VU ute & kept wondering why he was wheel spinning around the corners. I explained that driving a ute & sedan have major differences in driving style but Ian kept putting his foot flat to the floor going around corners. Especially after it had been raining. He didn't like my comment about changing his driving style to suit the vehicle & conditions and his sour reply I did not welcome it. He had treated other vehicles accordingly to their age & driving style, but not the ute. I unsubbed his channel. If you're borrowing someones pride & joy for filming purposes, respect it.

I don't think I watched that one. For the most part he seems to treat cars well.

@@zenovich1 how about rather then being a clown that's apparently owned all these cars, elaborate. Are you trying to say the aftermarket oil line is a bad idea and shouldn't be done? Because if so I have a bridge you might be interested in buying. Regards an XR6T and F6 owner (since that matters apparently 😂) hope mittens is well.

@@zenovich1 haha Mittens sounds like a great cat, unfortunately my dog won't swear at randoms on KZbin. Anyway on a serious note, I gather you have never taken your turbo off or modified it in anyway, and had to deal with the factory hardlines failing, cracking then leaking. Which they did on my XR6 and Typhoon. Advising people that this 'upgrade' will cause more issues, and cause leaks, is poor advice. I've never had a leak, nor anyone else I know in the FPV owners group who've done this. That's why I didn't know what you were actually implying, because you didn't make any sense. And I mean that in the nicest way possible.

Just not having the right sized deep socket in this instance. One of my sets only has them up to 19mm, which was inconvenient. Luckily the spark plug one did the trick.
