Plumbing for the remote oil filter

Parts Required

The following describes the proper way to add a remote oil filter to your VW, or in my case, Sandrail.   In my situation I used stainless steel braided hose, size No. 8, and Army/Navy (AN) fittings to connect everything.  No. 8 hose is the typical oil hose used for engines of this size, it is equivalent to 1/2" I.D. oil hose.

  1. Full flow your engine case, refer to the following pictures:
    Mail oil galley that needs to be drilled and tapped for full flow oil system 
    90 degree full flow brass fitting
  2. Puchase a full flow oil pump cover, preferrable cast iron.   Mine is aluminum, as seen in the pictures to come, because I couldn't find a cast iron one.
  3. Purchase the remote oil filter assembly, pictures to come
  4. Tap and plug the outlet side of your oil pump to force the oil out into the remote filter, see the following pictures:

  5. Purchase the required fittings, here is a list of Bugpack part numbers I ordered along with a description of the purpose for each fitting:
    • 3122 - No. 8 Braided hose, 1 - 6 foot package ($21.95)
    • 3130 - No. 8 Straight hose end, 4 needed, 1 for each end of the hose ($10.95 each)
    • 3133 - Adapter, 3/8" NPT to No. 8 hose, 2 needed, 1 for the oil pump cover and 1 for the brass elbow at the case ($4.99 each)
    • 3136 - 90 degree Adapter, 1/2" NPT to No. 8 hose, 2 needed, 1 for the inlet and 1 for the outlet of the remote oil filter assembly ($17.95 each)
    • Brass 90 degree street elbow, 3/8" Male NPT X 3/8" Female NPT ($4.86)
    • Total price is $111.63
