Awesome stuff, congrats on finishing and a great result.

Fukn mint, that sound when VVL kicks in is amazing!
quick update. been having issue's with the oil filter block developing small fractures and leaking oil everywhere. always wanted to fit an oil cooler, so i went it this direction. first is an autotech oil block adapter. to this little guy i had an extra 1/8npt thread drilled into it to accomodate both oem oil pressure and the defi oil pressure and oil temp sensors. Trust/greddy remote oil filter block, and a 13 row Setrab oil cooler with some mounting brackets to suit.

Minor point, that's not the Autotech oil block (which comes with two oil pressure sensor taps) - it's an MPI (very similar design)
Id say looking at mine its an identical design.Originally Posted by Martin
As I said - very similar design
The Autotech version has "Autotech Motoring" engraved on it rather than "MPI"
The Autotech version comes with two ports, BSPT and NPT, for sensors - no need to drill & tap
its the same thing. mine has both bsp and npt, and i tapped another npt to replace a sandwich plate for my defi oil pressure/temp sensors

pic of the oil block adapter,with the extra npt thread tapped for the oil temp sensor, and how it looked with the aeroflow AF849-10-10 & AF840-10 fittings in it.

part numbers for all the 10an fittings and hose.
big spacing to the motor, small spacing to the cooler. its important to realise that although the greddy remote oil cooler is thermo activated, and actually does cycle a little oil to the cooler even when its dead cold. it also uses a 7/16 (n14 sss) oil filter, not a n15 oil filter. i used about 4 meters of braided hose to complete all the plumbing.
early days, but the cooler seems to increase oil capacity by about 1 ltr, and although the cooler is one of the smallest in the setrab range (13 row x 20cm), the oil hasn't been over 80deg C, where as before it would run 90-100+C

I would seriously consider the mounting the filter block to a bracket off the chassis and NOT off the gearbox as it will be subject to vibration from the motor as it is now and that’s not what you want.
BRAVO!
What a documented accomplishment.
Very organised, very planned and must be fun to do. You're not doing it 24/7, so is it when you are in the mood you go back to it?
Where is the pic of your bed in the workshop?
BRAVO!
