I want to note two things. One, Not all parts on eBay are cheap or bad. Obviously name brand parts are sold on eBay, But past that, there are cheap parts that work as well if not better than expensive versions. Bad expensive brands. Good cheap brands. I’ve learned a lot of this after working in the parts industry. Would anyone want to see a video on this? Where and when to buy cheap parts. What parts are the same. Different. Etc? How it all works?
Taylor, I hope you realise that you are going to have to remove the drive belt and spin the pump to prime the oil system BEFORE you start the engine. It is going to take some time to fill all those lines, cooler , filter and engine oil passages!
Wouldn’t it be better if the oil filter is upside down? So when you change the oil the oil doesn’t go every where and so the oil goes all the way through the filter
It shouldn't matter, there will be plenty of oil pressure with the dry sump system. Also majority of the oil will come out through the pan. But I see where there could be a concern.
@@lilbatman636 youre saying it will back drain through the cooler and pump? that doesnt seem likely. The best location, imo would have been on the outside of the frame rail infront of the wheel. Itd be better if the filter housing had the fittings on the side.
It'll work fine. Lot's of cartrage oil filters are mounted like that. As for changing the filter, he just needs to put some cardboard under it to direct the oil into a drain pan.
This all looks sick! I'm just going to hate to see the oil spill everywhere when you change the filter. Aside from that, FANTASTIC work on everything you do!
Careful that the stainless braided lines from one cooler don't rub through the rubber line on the other cooler! As another comment said, why not put the filter in the trunk? Less mess for sure. Car is looking awesome.
Your oil feed and return line on your oil cooler itself are backwards it can cause air to cavitate in your oil cooler which will reduce the volume of oil that comes in contact with a cooler which reduces the efficiency at which the oil cooler can cool the oil. Typically you want the inlet to be on the bottom and the outlet to be on the top that way as any air gets sucked into your line and through the oil cooler and it will go into the bottom naturally rise to the top as are does and then get pulled out through the top line. If you have the feed into the top and then out of the bottom when the air gets pulled through the line into the oil cooler air will want to rise naturally it doesn't want to sink so the air bubbles are going to get trapped in the top of the oil cooler while the heavier oil sinks to the bottom and gets sucked out through your outlet line. If you reverse your current Inlet and Outlet lines that will allow the oil to go into the bottom with the air and then come out of the top with the air. Your current setup lets the oil in and out but traps the air
Hey taylor! just saying your videos are amazing. You explain everything, show us how to do it, and what you do wrong and dont hide that fact. You are very underappreciated, keep up the amazing work. Love the angles, different shots, music, info, etc. ❤
You're the real deal on TH-cam Taylor I hope your Channel get bigger and bigger you deserve way more , honnestly. Crazy the new drone angle/shot ahah !
I hope you are taking oil drain back in to account with that remote filter location. In wet sump systems, getting the proper anti-drainback valve oil filter is critical to retaining some oil in the filter for cold starts. With the upside down position, make sure it's right. It would suck to run a fancy dry sump to keep it oiled while drifting but have cold starts fuck up the engine. Also, as stated previously, that upside down placement will probably make oil filter changes very messy.
Hey Taylor just and idea with the filter. Lofs of people have mentioned putting it im the trunk which i agree with, but instead of running lines all the way to the front; what is stopping you from putting the filter between the sump tank and the engine using the sump line? Same idea as putting in an inline fuel filter.
I’d put some shielding around the line from the filter to to oil port on the block just to be safe. Plus the cooler won’t do much if the line after it goes right past the header and gets heated back up.
I had water fill my bellhousing up driving through a deep puddle and saturate my throwout bearing and ruin it while I was driving from washing out all the grease and overheating. So yeah hahaha
Since you have so much clearance from the bottom of the oil pan and the bottom of the subframe, why not fab up a skid plate out of thick aluminum for extra protection?
Taylor, on suction hoses from Pan to scavenge stages- run an inner support spring inside the hose to stop collapse, the pumps suction can suck the hose closed. Just fyi
While not ebay parts related, I'd love to see a video on tires. From size to tread wear to PSI, the different brands you've used, maybe even touch on alignment set ups as well, and how it all affects grip. Would love to hear from you because I know you used to use used tires so I'm sure you have experience with many brands and how to step grip up or down for a tire.
Your normally supposed to run into the bottom of the cooler then out of the top so you don't get air bubbles trapped in the cooler but it should be fine with the high flow rate you have.
Hey Taylor you may have trouble bleeding the air out of the oil system with the cooler and filter setup the way you do .feed from the bottom on the cooler and oil filter is upside down.
I think you may have issues with air getting trapped in the oil filter with it mounted like that. Kinda like why you never mount a cooler with the fittings pointing straight down.
Why Teflon vs standard braided hose for oil lines? Maybe I missed it earlier. For some reason, I thought it was a good idea to be able to gravity drain from the dry sump tank to the pump inlet? Same for the tank vent can.
I agree with a lot of the others posting. Changing the filter might become a messy ordeal, even if it drains down. You'll still have residual oil from the filter hitting your bay. Perhaps a drain chute would be best on the bottom side of the oil filter between the housing and the bay that would drain toward the front end of the car (Keep the dripping oil away from the headers will increase their longevity, after all). Overall, you did an excellent job in this video, Taylor. Keep up the hard work. The drone shots were great, albeit, cutting in and out of them made the intro feel disconnected. Maybe in the future do a majority of the intro walk from the house to the pool door, then do the drone shot from the pool door to when you open the garage door as one shot.
Is the oil filter designed to be mounted like that? To mount like that it should have a non return valve in it so the oil actually flows through the filter
You gotta get that rubber hose from your reservoir tank further off the header. Either tig it up and move it or hard line it. Won't last very long at all.
if you want decent price line thats still good quality go with summit racing line. i buy all their branded an fittings and line and i think its great quality. never had any problems with them
Usually use a wire from a old harness. Run it the way you would the line. Then measure it. That stuff is expensive no point in ordering too much if you don’t need it.
What did you do with the original oil pump and pickup from the engine do they get removed? Also under the headlights since the motors and original lights have been deleted would have been a cool spot for the oil filter and expansion tank
There’s a shit ton of room outside of the frame rail and core support in the corner of the bumper where you talked about putting the p clamp for that line..... should have just made a little bracket and hung the filter in that corner.
Hey, in my opinion you should put the oil filter inline before the oil cooler. That way if you do have a malfunction in the engine most of the stuff will get caught in the filter not all of it going straight into your cooler.
Please put sparco wheels on the Subaru or some sort of OG rally wheels. Everyone's saying your gonna make a mess changing the filter lol or you could just drain the filter by taking off the one of the lines and it won't make any mess lol
I don't understand people and the upside down oil filter thing. In my experience that just covers the whole filter in oil, vs all the oil dropping below your hand
Talls to camera, points with left hand pans out to drone shot and points with right hand hahah good content man drone shots really adding to production
You doing amazing work. Might i suggest you keep your oil lines of low in the short as possible. Or I just think you'll have a lot of problems with bleeding your system and then that it'll take a lot of oil for its capacity
maybe i missed it or maybe someone commented this already but... Are you going to leave your flywheel exposed or is there a cover for that lower part ????
Taylor, in my experience, save yourself some pain with that oil filter relocator mount it so that the oil filter is straight up above (like a Wankel) I thought it was a crappy way to do it till I did an oil change with it and it didnt have a single stray drop
a few things with braided PTFE internal tube hoses. they’re virtually inert to everything even good for ethanol. how do i explain this... ‘flat’ internal ptfe has terrible bend radius and will kink and split the PTFE. the line for the best bend radius that is braided and PTFE Is an Convoluted internal tube hope this helps even ‘Braided’ PTFE Hydraulic hose has the same shitty kink radius edit: don’t stress about it being ‘cheap line’ as i said even the hydraulic hose version has this issue
why not just use 3/8'', 1/2'', 5/8'' hard line and only use a little length of brayed flex line in locations were the line needs to flex? For the cost of that flex line there is no justification not to do as i say with the hard line. bet those oil coolers are made of aluminum, so why not use some aluminum hard line... by the foot hard line cost 4 times less. more for the beer fund.
I went through the same thing with eBay lines like that. I sent them photo proof and had a full refund same day. I hope you can re use the fittings. Maybe try summit or something for better quality line, that’s where I went and holding the two in my hand I could feel a huge difference. The eBay stuff I had was literally just rubber hose with a little stainless braid inside, with the nicer looking sheath on the outside to make it seem legit. Siliconintakes.com sells good line too. Good luck.
"i geel that it is so weak, it will just suction shut" . . . lol we got to test that. and see how many pound will do that to the cheap line peace, eric
@@brianlankford3135 Looking at Dry Sump pictures and diagrams, seems you want it after the pump but before the oil cooler. So he could have mounted it near the oil cooler in the front bumper possibly.
For the love of god can we please get a driveway update?! Are you guys gonna finally fix it? Or you just gonna roll with it all cracked up? Any update would be great I’m dying for you guys to fix it

You should do that with you comparing tools in a mini series, that would be extremely helpful
I think it would be a great video with your knowledge of the parts world
Absolutely! Great vid idea
Yes. Do it
That would be extremely helpful.
I absolutely love how you're integrating the drone shots into the normal things in the video dude. 10/10
Taylor, I hope you realise that you are going to have to remove the drive belt and spin the pump to prime the oil system BEFORE you start the engine. It is going to take some time to fill all those lines, cooler , filter and engine oil passages!
he can alway remove fuel pump fuse and use the starter to prime it ....

Isn't this open flywheel hella dangerous while drifting? I mean getting beaten up by rocks and stuff
ive been wondering about that as well
No more dangerous than rocks slung out by tires.
I think some of the hoonigan guys messed up a flywheel on a vehicle that had an open trans
Im going to built a cover for it and I skid plate as well. Just keep forgetting to talk about it.
I had water fill my bellhousing up driving through a deep puddle and saturate my throwout bearing and ruin it while I was driving from washing out all the grease and overheating. So yeah hahaha
I’m LOVING these drone shots Taylor. Great addition to the vlogs.

Why don’t you put the oil filter before your coolers so it saves them if get shavings from the sump system or engine?
Is the oil filter designed to be mounted like that? To mount like that it should have a non return valve in it so the oil actually flows through the filter
I dunno about dry dump but on a hydraulic system you cool and filter on the return side of the system
You gotta get that rubber hose from your reservoir tank further off the header. Either tig it up and move it or hard line it. Won't last very long at all.
Hey are you going to do anything to cover your flex plate where the oil pan meets it
if you want decent price line thats still good quality go with summit racing line. i buy all their branded an fittings and line and i think its great quality. never had any problems with them
I wish I was as knowledgeable with engines & building as you dude. Can’t wait to be able to do this on my own some day.
Usually use a wire from a old harness. Run it the way you would the line. Then measure it. That stuff is expensive no point in ordering too much if you don’t need it.
You just went past the minimum bend radius for that hose, that's another thing you have to consider when making -an hoses
Taylor filming is on point
Really enjoying your drone shots keep it up 😀
Always start with the hard stuff first when u can so at least when its the end of the day and your tired you only have easy stuff to button up
What did you do with the original oil pump and pickup from the engine do they get removed? Also under the headlights since the motors and original lights have been deleted would have been a cool spot for the oil filter and expansion tank
There’s a shit ton of room outside of the frame rail and core support in the corner of the bumper where you talked about putting the p clamp for that line..... should have just made a little bracket and hung the filter in that corner.
Yep -an lines are expensive I use the eBay lines and connects for just fuel on my 6.0 LS s13 kinda want to go flex fuel.... love your vids
Hey, in my opinion you should put the oil filter inline before the oil cooler. That way if you do have a malfunction in the engine most of the stuff will get caught in the filter not all of it going straight into your cooler.
wow new camera set up is dope taylor!
Are you going to run something to cover the flywheel?
Nice to see some progress ! Keep it up man !
1:08 is there a cover to stop rocks and debris from damaging the flywheel?
What till you take that filter off the first time and oil goes everywhere
I’ve had great luck with fragola ptfe lines just a second choice
Please put sparco wheels on the Subaru or some sort of OG rally wheels. Everyone's saying your gonna make a mess changing the filter lol or you could just drain the filter by taking off the one of the lines and it won't make any mess lol
Put the filter under the front of the car so oil doesn't go everywhere when you change it and it makes your lines straighter and shorter
I love the drone weather update intros!
Maybe mount the oil filter in the wheel well and other side up? You know, that spillage thing ...
That drone 3rd person view is phenomenal
So exited to see Taylor in a subie! Hope you make that thing clean dude, actually I know you will.
Would've been cool to mount the filter relocate to the front bar.
I don't understand people and the upside down oil filter thing. In my experience that just covers the whole filter in oil, vs all the oil dropping below your hand
The new drone shots are sick
Good luck getting the air out the system with the filter that way.
Looking good, lesson learned on the line. Can't wait to see this set up rippin' up OSW.
Talls to camera, points with left hand pans out to drone shot and points with right hand hahah good content man drone shots really adding to production
7:00 this right here. This is where character is built
Planning sh*t out in your future vids will only get quicker
You doing amazing work. Might i suggest you keep your oil lines of low in the short as possible. Or I just think you'll have a lot of problems with bleeding your system and then that it'll take a lot of oil for its capacity
I've had good luck with vibrant line. Pretty solid brand
Notification squad! Don’t forget Taylordrifts.com for the merch!
You didn't mention PACO Racing when talking about parts for that Gambler car... ?

mount it so that the oil filter is straight up above (like a Wankel)
I thought it was a crappy way to do it till I did an oil change with it and it didnt have a single stray drop
a few things with braided PTFE internal tube hoses. they’re virtually inert to everything even good for ethanol.
how do i explain this... ‘flat’ internal ptfe has terrible bend radius and will kink and split the PTFE. the line for the best bend radius that is braided and PTFE Is an Convoluted internal tube hope this helps even ‘Braided’ PTFE Hydraulic hose has the same shitty kink radius
edit:
don’t stress about it being ‘cheap line’ as i said even the hydraulic hose version has this issue
hey taylor will you be going to the spring break bash at osw?
Wanna see a vid on the next Miata oil change! Wanna see how that filter goes 👀
The drone shots add to the video keep doing those.
Best build youtube!!! Awesome car!!
why not just use 3/8'', 1/2'', 5/8'' hard line and only use a little length of brayed flex line in locations were the line needs to flex?

Do you need a oil filter with an anti drain back valve?
Need? No...but yes it'd be ideal
Brent at PFI is the AEM king for tuning the 4 banger Miata
Can you please do a freakin miata mash up with Gingium when the gambler car and the LS car are done?
1:10 you need build a plate to protect the flywheel??
the goal! i like goals
Do a tool box tour and show us all of your tools
Drone footage is always so cool
Mounting that filter on any kind of angle is a bad idea... You should've mounted it vertically, somewhere along the frame-rail underneath the car.

look at omg miata on instagram he has a drysump rotary miata and his lines are super clean
What brand is your remote mount oil filter housing?
I'm Feenin like an addict to see this miata drift proam
matt from demolition ranch and off the ranch is going to be at the gambler you should co ab
What drone do you use?
oil filter orientation well done
"i geel that it is so weak, it will just suction shut" . . . lol
we got to test that. and see how many pound will do that to the cheap line
peace, eric
I feel bad if i missed it but what's the plan with the motor for the subi? EDIT: Also is Adam going to paint the GC8 chassis?
You should get a *super hot boi* vented Hood to keep them engine temps down
Best way is do an easy j9b to get you into then do a hard job then finish with another easy job
Trying to picture the fuel rails gold🧐
Super clean build!
4:08 Ben do Back Rows on a Miata
JackedAF
Did you think about moving the filter relocation to the trunk with the tanks?
It's on the hp side thus he'd need to run 2 more lines. also that extra length means the engine is starved of oil for longer after an oil change
Didn’t think of where it was in the loop. So that make sense.
