Oil Filters for BRZ and 86

Yes in some cases, you get what you pay for. For the measly sum of $18 you could be using a genuine Subaru filter. I know what I'd be using for piece of mind.
Do you know what the by-pass pressure of the Ryco is? Z79X also fits lots of early Mazda/Ford so it's not spec'd specifically for the FA20 engine it's just a generic filter.
Hopefully your fun doesn't end in tears

Yep .. the bypass only works when it's cold. Other than that it filters I think they told me 200 liters a minute when warm / hot.. I went through all of the internals with the Ryco people the other day and I have to say that I am comfortable that it is every bit as good as OEM .. there is no way I would trust it otherwise .. brand new engine and races to get points .. got to finish every race..

To be honest I am more worried about the G's and oil pick up problems on the fast left hand turn one .. with more speed and semi slicks I am not certain... I will have my eyes glued to the pressure gauge as well as my apex !!

Love reading your threads.

I can't make it to SMSP on saturday. I hope you have a great day.

Do you have any oil pressure info at different rpm while using the 5W-30 oil?

Do you vary the oil you use depending on the oil pressure readings?

Thanks.

Notice anything else on left hand turns?

Thanks for the questions as they are very relevant.. I have to say that the Bathurst run was not really the place to test as attention to pressures is a distraction from Apex's and walls I will however start building information from this Friday .. I will use some new 5w 30 and hope to post some info... I do have concerns about the relocation of sender units due to the HKS plate ... I am wondering if it will vary the readings. It shouldn't but I will start to note some of this in relation to revs on a hot engine.

I may vary things dependent on the temp.. ie freezing days at Goulburn although under load with proper warming I am not sure if it will matter.. I am open to views on this.. happy to learn something new..

You want to let me in on any secrets ??? Before they happen

I'm getting what feels like fuel starvation in fast left hand turns like 110 degree corners right after a sweeper into a straight, never when on a full tank, but consistently at 3/4 tank. Wondering if anyone else is having this. I dont recall it being NA, so I will be asking folks who track that go FI, and specifically Vortech FI, cant replicate on the street, just not the same traction as rcomps on a track. LMK. I have this on two different tracks.

Thanks again for feedback. I don't want to pressure you (pun intended), any feedback you want to give is appreciated. I ran a fully stock 86 around the creek (except for 5W40 penrite). I am a total amateur. I was v. nervous about turn 1 and slowed a lot. The instructor eventually said to keep in 5th gear around the corner. V.thrilling fun.

Some clarification.
is the HKS plate for the HKS oil cooler kit?
is the sender the pressure gauge sensor?
If relocated, Where is it now?

I am starting to plan oil pressure gauge and oil cooler. This info is helpful.

Due to your suggestion of 235 wide tyre is preferred, I am going for rims 17x8 +35. will need camber bolts for front.

Thanks
