which way does the fp oil filter go?

 

you know what, does anyone have a thread to exactly how to put in a fp black/red/green etc... where can i get the correct fitment for the oil housing to the fp oil line?

 

I'll be using this info too, thanks! Want to help me?!

What is brad penn oil?

Also is it necessary to replace the mani studs and nuts if I only have 25k on the car or should i just resuse? If I buy new should I buy the OEM ones? Thanks.

 

You can reuse the studs and nuts.

Brad Penn is a brand of oil approved by FP for use in their turbos. Check their website for a more comprehensive list of approved oils.

 

bump for an answer...

 

Long Island is a little far
no need to replace them. unless they have heat cracks or break. and brad penn is oil Fp recommends. no more mobil1 for you guys.


How is the install going?

 

hitting a lot of bumps in the road... cant seem to find the turbo bolts lol... for some reason the head nuts wont go back on correctly there very tight when i try to put them on... but whatever. ill get em on. put it this way its not something i will do again.

 

Call up Mitsu and order new studs and nuts for where the manifold bolts to the head. From what you are saying they all sound stripped. I also suggest ordering 2 new manifold to turbo bolts from mitsu. The hotside should have 2 studs in it from FP, I suggest replace the other 3 bolts from Mitsu. make sure you put anti-seize on every nut and bolt. FP Black install is pretty straight forward, only thing different from installing the oil feed line to filter housing. MAKE sure you replace all the copper crush washers with new ones on the banjo bolts for the oil and water lines...Also replace the oil return lines gaskets. Once everything is installed make sure to prime the turbo...Pull the electrical connectors off the coil packs and try starting it like 6-8 times so oil will get into the turbo and that will also let you know if you have any oil leaks, then hook the coil packs back up and start her up...

 

I dont see this ending well

 

Im sorry, but this sounds like a job you should have paid someone to do... Its really very simple.

 

i would have started the car and let it get warm then as its cooling down the bolts are way easier to take off with out headache . if you have a fastenal the will have the bolts you need , theres three in jersey

 

turbos on and its great now bolting everything was easy. im waiting on more parts to come in like the turbo studs and some more nuts for the headers. all the lines are attached, jpipe line from the boost controller wastegate line coolant lines oil lines (except for the fp line to the oil housing cause i need the part that connects the fp oil line to the housing which of course didnt come with the turbo i got. Where can i get this part (http://store.forcedperformance.net/m..._Code=Acc-Nuts) im not trying to wait for FP to deliver it to my house it wont get here until friday... also i need the bolt that goes to the head where the evo 9 turbo was getting its oil from.

 

The elbow maybe a local performance shop -4an and bring the bolt you took out of housing. prob the only thing i could suggest. could be a standard peice.

 

i called FP and they told me its a 90 degree BSP to -4AN adapter (-4AN being the side to plug the fp oil line in) BSP is supposedly a British fitting? Im going to take a ride over to Bruces' Speed Shop tomorrow and bring them the oil plug i took out and the oil line so they can match it. (hopefully lol)
