In the midst of swapping oil filter housings, I though of an idea. After some research, I am shocked that I could not find anyone that has done it before.
Everyone in the DSM world is always looking for more room for large downpipes. ALT relocators, Forward Facing OFH's....ect. I came up with a simple and easy way to gain Another + inches without spending the money. (with a 91-99 filer housing)
Here is your typical "I need to remove my exhaust to change my oil" clearance
Running the smaller 6607 Filter helps, but you more than half your filter area which is never good. IF you are like 95% of DSM'ers not using the oil "cooler" this mod is for you.
When you take the Water cooled OFH off, you get this guy.
The thread is conveniently the same on both sides. So, I cut the longer threaded end off clean at the beginning of the taper (on the right)
Clean up the threads-cut some lock tight on the end you will screw back into the OFH, and screw it in.
What your left with a is a filter that is tucked well under the alternator-and a truly eliminated water housing that you not dont have to worry about leaking, or coming apart internally. This is with the full size big boy 1G filter as well.
If this has been done, I guess I need to search better. If not, we can just call it the Coltboostin/JP special OFH mod and make it official!
I hope it helps some people looking for better fitment and like saving a buck!
