all you need to do is get a universal kit with the right thread pattern for the CA. it shouldnt pose much of a problem, im sure many cars use the same thread pattern.

if you want a real one though, check ebay all the damn time.

what about a double inlet/outlet relocation plate for the filter so i can also run oil cooler, you think summit would also carry something like that?

why not just run the cooler in line with the filter?

I've got what your looking for and I got it off of ebay. Try searching "thermostatic oil filter adapter". Mine doesn't really relocate the oil filter though, but it's got an internal thermostat and then 2 fittings for my oil cooler.

alright thanks float, reason for me using the cooler was i did a previous oil break down test w 10/30 full syn and 20/50 syn blend.... the 20/50 works out the best and doesnt break down as easily thus providing efficient lubricatin to the motor at high rpms. one thing i did notice was that the 20/50 became MUCHO lagggy when the motor was cold, sputtering and slow revving.. so im goin gback to 10/30 full syn w/oil cooler and relocater kit. but thanks for your help.il llet u know what i find.
