Take the oil cooler off, get an extra nut, and thread the filter post further into the block.

Looks like you have the wrong adapter plate then. Mine was much deeper.

Where did you get yours from?

eBay. Or pull the shaft out and cut it shorter, but make sure to smooth the end down nice so you'll be able to get a nut back on it.

That's exactly what I did, took a 1\4" off and it fits awesome now
Thanks!- :

Doc B oil pump and prv getting installed this week
The pump upgrade by itself helps but the whole mod with the external regulator is really improves the system. there are a few forum members that have done just the pump.
If you want your pump done PM me and I will give you the details.
Thanks!

Mp3 racer what psi do u run your prv at?

You want to see 25psi at a warm idle and 10psi increase per 1000 rpm's

ok cool thanks. Can i go any higher or lower or does it have to be right at 25?
My oil pressure is usually 15-20 psi @ idle when warmed up. The lowest I have seen was about 12psi @ idle. My oil system is stock and I'm running 5w-30 Pennzoil Platinum and an 02 626 v6 K&N oil filter. I have an Autometer Ultra-lite II mechanical gauge tapped of the stock oil pressure sensor port.
25 psi at idle is just a zone to shoot for. It will ultimately depend on what type of oil and the viscosity you are running to determine what exactly your idle pressure will be. Also, be careful that when the car is cold that you don't get too high of pressures as most non-racing oil filters will explode with pressures over 90 - 100 psi.
sounds good thanks! Wish I could say that with those numbers you are in good shape. However, idle oil pressure is not an indicator of the ability of your oil system.
I see spikes over 70psi when cold. As for the health of my system, I can't remember exactly what pressures I see when warm but I think it was following about 10-12psi/1000rpm. I'll have to take another look after I get my braided oil pressure line installed.
The only information I've found so far for the FS-DE oil pressure is that it should be somewhere between 57-71psi @ 3000rpm. Doesn't that sound too high?
Also, my MSP has run 5w30 full synthetic since 5,000mi (first Mobil1 now Pennzoil Platinum) and has gotten its oil changes and filter every 5,000mi. My car now has 65k on it and the engine is stock. I know that doesn't guarantee that my oil system is ok but it may be the best stock baseline available.
MP3racer, thanks for putting out a great product. One of these days I'll build my spare engine and send you the oil pump so you can work your majic.
