My bad, I'll remove you

Update - started final de-burring and cleaning
getting the pieces ready for anodizing

SOHC fitment on a truck KA was confirmed
Moses from ka-t.org brought the oil neck off his project
and although the cast is different the bolt pattern in the same

I just have to say Juan is the man. I had told him originally that I needed an adapter by this Thursday because my motor is going to be out of the car for only a day. And he made it happen, even shipped the part on his lunch break to make sure I got it in time. Going to install it tomorrow and take some pic's when everything is plumbed.

Juan thanks for the awesome customer service you showed, always answering PM's fast and helping me out.

*ManoNegra* · 02-05-2009, 08:20 AM

no sweat Marc, glad it got there in time
post office isn't far so it's no biggie

Update:
parts are pretty much done - de-burred, re-tapped, veritexed, ultrasonic cleaned and
soaked in alcohol
just awaiting anodizing
so why haven't we got them out?
answer: fittings

they're pretty expensive
we aren't completely happy with the finish on them
they're expensive
they came with the wrong hex pattern
they're expensive

so

we're going to try to make them
going to spend a few days on them (we're still ahead of schedule)
and then send fittings and blocks for anodizing - black and blue accordingly

chuy · 02-05-2009, 08:11 PM

i love the updates.

dreaMervaj · 02-06-2009, 12:14 AM

Add me to the list.

Thanks! =)

*NemeGuero* · 02-09-2009, 08:56 PM

These came out wicked sweet.

Too bad I won't need one.. *sigh*

nis720 · 02-10-2009, 11:39 PM

You're making your own fittings? Nice.

BTW thanks for the block and the long talk.... maybe I can go again.

SoBay240guy · 02-12-2009, 06:54 PM

Just wanted to say
Juan's GB access is messed up again
so as an update:
parts are done, fittings came out pretty nice
we'll go over them tonight and tomorrow morning
everything will go to anodize
we expect to have parts to ship next week
-Mike

Silverstreek · 02-12-2009, 09:44 PM

various ways to do it, some lines are made specifically for turbos and will have it built in
there are restrictors that bolt to the turbo itself
you'll have to search a little to see what works best for you

KingKong8247 · 02-17-2009, 09:09 PM

I'm in for a SOHC one.

The_Doctor · 02-18-2009, 10:05 PM

If your still making these in 5-6 months I will buy one. Awesome work Juan, keep it up.

SoBay240guy · 02-19-2009, 08:55 AM

Juan stopped by the anodizing place on his way to work
they look pretty awesome!
we'll post some pictures when work permits
paid for parts should start shipping either today or early tomorrow

Hywarp161 · 02-19-2009, 09:09 AM

Silverstreek · 02-19-2009, 09:24 PM

omg, i just skeeted a lil bit in my pants. look awesome!

40daws · 02-20-2009, 06:00 AM

Any suggestions on what kind/style of oil filter mount ?

chuy · 02-20-2009, 08:34 AM

YES so excited

let5l1de · 02-21-2009, 04:12 PM

got mine today! just about to install it right after this post.

ty Juan & Mike!

General pointers for installation.

Be sure to coat the o-rings within the center bore of the adapter with eng. oil prior to installation so that they are not damaged.
When using existing oil adapter bolts, make sure flat washers are used between the adapter and lock washer on the bolt. This is to ensure no damage to the aluminum occurs while tightening the bolts/lock washer against the adapter.
Use your favorite thread sealer when screwing the oil pressure sending unit or other components in the adapter.
Base gaskets (adapter to engine gasket) are okay but I prefer using hi-temp silicone for sealing most surfaces. If using no gasket, be sure not to over/under apply the amount of hi-temp sealer. A 1/8" (approx. 3mm) bead is plenty (note to Juan/Mike: a thin shallow groove machined into the base of the adapter will promote sealer stability.)

Dousan_PG · 02-22-2009, 02:54 AM

got it today
thanks
looks awesome
now i need another 240
haha

any 3/4-16 adapter will work if you want to use OEM filters
there are plenty to choose from Summit, Earls, etc

yeah, we thought about putting a small groove there
but decided at the end to leave the same as the oem design
