    Duratec oil housing adaptor

    Hi,going dry sump, so need the housing that bolts to the block , with 2 outlets on it. Is there anyone in the uk that does them? I can find pics on the net but no supplyers. I am using retro ford engine mounts so pretty tight for space!
    Cheers

    You only need one port to pump the oil in to the engine

    Hi Bodger,
    I have just finished a new design (even more compact and cheaper) with the filter horizontal and still with cooler connections.
    The oil filter and hoses miss standard Escort X member and engine mounts and is also perfect in Clubmans.

    That looks really nice, would it clear a retroford lowered crossmember? How much Aud are they? Cheers.

    Looks like a very nice solutions, but would recommend using Roger's (Durescort's) Alloy engine mounts as don't think the oil filter adapter will work with the RetroFord mounts, as per the picture of mine below, which just clears the Dunnell one

    Yes.
    The cooler hoses easily clear over the top of the OE standard X member, so should be heaps clear of a lowered one.(all my Duratec parts, engine mounts, dry-sump kit, water outlet, bell-housing are designed to fit the OE X member with the 48mm thick Pinto engine mounts; no body or chassis mods required)
    Price is AUD $135 + P&P
    Cheers.

    Re: Duratec oil housing adaptor

    Thanks Roger, looking at dobuys picture and yours it doesn't look at first glance like it would fit - I'm looking at the distance from the left hand bolts to the filter plate, its less on yours than the dunnel one which just fits. I guess I should have said engine mounts rather than crossmember, sorry for any confusion.

    In that case my vertical filter type would probably clear OK.(see pics 2/6/2014 above)
    With my horizontal filter type, I don't think there is much in it; Its filter plate is in the true centre of the 4 bolt pattern, very close to the Dunnell one, but difference is mine has a smaller ID seal face, which will take the smallest diameter filters available, and would clear your engine mount bolt.
    I have also just finished a further improvement to enable fitting a (huge) VDO type pressure sender pointing towards the rear.
    Pity you didn't use my sump and engine mounts in the first place it would have saved you all the trouble of having to change X member, steering, chassis mounting, etc etc ! LOL
    For Eric, I will get the postage to UK and advise.
    Cheers.

    Re: Duratec oil housing adaptor

    Hi guys bit off topic but I have a pace dry sump system ready to go on mine but the pump fits the inlet side I would really like it on the exhaust side. I've found pictures of them fitted that side but can't find anywhere that sells a fitting kit?
    Anybody else you them that side?

    Postage to UK is AUS$18 for the horizontal filter type and AUS#38 for the vertical filter type (because it is heavier)

    Vertical type is a bit dearer because it is a bit trickier to machine and is AUS$195 + $20 to NZ.
    I will take an 'as installed' pic. and try to attach it later.
    Email me on jrprmc1@bigpond.com so we can exchange info.
    Roger.

    Some more pics showing vertical type filter installation.
    Please note: Both types are for engines with internal oil pumps; ideal for most people who want all sizes of spin-on filter types with addition of an oil cooler with minimum complication and minimum space requirement.

    Sorry to be answering so late:
    Both my oil filter adaptors are for engines with internal pressure pumps, (like OE type and my dry-sump systems) and for people who want to fit an oil cooler.
    Cheers,
    Roger.

    Re: Duratec oil housing adaptor

    A bit more clarification: The pictures show my dry-sump system which uses external scavenge pump but still uses the OE internal pressure pump (a la Corvette) It's simpler, cheaper and more compact that way.

    I have a oil in plate on the shelf mate
    You would need a remote filter head
