Saw this on Zilvia group buy. KA24 filter block looks like it'd fit an RB from the looks of it, to me it looks like one of the flanges seem off. Looks like it would be pretty simple to have the original design modified for RB application...

ka filter tree will not bolt up to the rb block. I thought about this aswell so i could get rid of the stock oil cooler on the rb25.

The design just needs to have the design of the base mounting tabs to be modified for RB applications. Should be real easy.. I wonder if they'd make a production run if there's strong enough interest.

Another option to the the spin-on method...

That it is a clean block adapter. I wish someone made that for a rb. I like how it has three port for sensors.

no one is interested?

Was thinking maybe if there was strong interest, I could shoot them an email and see what could be done for our app.

I figured you guys would like the spin on type and run -AN fittings from directly off the block.

That way you don't have bolts or gaskets, just a standard o-ring to deal with.

The block adapters for relocating the filter even have the ports for 1/8 sensors.

I'll see about adding that to the site, and for the mentioned bolt on pieces, they can be made if thats the general consenus of what is wanted

So far it's a KA only, but it looks like the CAD design could be modified for RB applications. I just like to have options and it looks pretty.
