Hows this for a bypass set up

[dvldoc]

Still waiting for my filter adapter and thread adapter for my Luberfiner XL.

I got the Luberfiners for less than 5 bucks each, Here's what I got back from Champlabs when I ask for it's efficiency.

The LFP780XL is a 5 micron @ 50% and a 20 micron @ 98.67%

This is my Bypass system set up. I am using a Full flow Luberfiner imperial XL full sythetic media filter. With a Fleetguard LF3947 (stratopore) Filters cost me $15 bucks a set, already had a bunch of LF3487 but decided to go with the Stratapore instead. Probably use them for remote tranny filters.

And it's going on?

It's going on my Nissan Elgrand, it's overseas. It's a 3.2 liter turbo diesel. Last dynoed it at 170hp and 450lbs TQ at the wheels, it's alcohol injected and LPG fumigated. Pretty quick for a 4000lbs van. Made 120hp and 322lbs stock.

Plenty of room under the hood since chucking the stock air box. Also added a oil catch can to help keep things even cleaner.

Think I have enough filter to cover me for over 100000 miles.

That is stupid awesome

Got it pretty much put together, I am going to go with 1/2 hydraulic hose vs the push lock just because it looks better, and I can get it cheap surplus.

Added a few hard drive magnets for giggles. The second thing is my remote transmission filter. Thanks to shopping around and finding deals think I paid under 100 bucks for all my hardware. Even wound up with 4 extra universal spin on adapters from perma-cool.

I added grip tap for easy removal of the filters as well.

Not a true bypass because I do not have a restrictor in my system. But I think it will do a pretty dang good job at keeping my oil good to past 12000 to 15000 miles between oil changes.

The old Devil likes his oil filters what can I say. Probably got about 700 at the house. I'm a bit of a filter and oil hoarder but hey, I'm taking them with me next year to the Philippines.

how much are you retiring on to live there? Got any of the filters hooked up to the water/meth?

 

[dvldoc]

Oh I got plenty, Military retirement, whatever VA disability I get, plus my company. Living like a king. You can actually do pretty good on about 1500usd a month income if your careful.

As far as filters for the meth, the tank taps are filtered and the nozzles have a filter. You don't want restriction in the system. Not to mention no filter media would handle the methanol.
