I used an oil sandwich adapter like this. It's good for having extra ports if you need them for oil temp or oil pressure gauges or whatever.

I don't know if the bolt pattern is the same on CA/KA, but I know we use the same filter...
I've got a GREX relocation kit on my CA.

Word.
I'm thinking GREX or custom made..
I think GREX is just rubber lines for ~$150ish and I can make one custom with AN fittings and SS lines for under $130..
I just wanted to know what everyone else ran. :)
I helped install a GREX reloc. kit on my friend's SR and it leaked a little bit. After reading some reviews, other people said their GREX units leaked as well. Maybe it was just a poor installation since we tried to do it w/o pulling the motor. Everything was pretty much done blind.
Then he tried to order the circuit sports plate but it's on backorder everywhere. Now I think he's gonna try permacool stuff.
Oh, the GREX kit Scott has came with SS lines.

Word.
I thought they came with those rubber lines and barbed fittings.
I was wrong!
I believe the oil filter fitting is 1/2" NPT, so if I buy an adapter for that and get an adapter for the oil filter mount on the block, it should be quite simple. Then get some SS lines and AN fittings and fab em up in length.
Thinking of putting the filter on the passenger strut tower..

Nah, my GREX kit is AN + stainless braided.
I had to make a bracket since my relocation kit came with the swap (didn't have everything I needed), so I ended up mounting it to the frame rail, forward of the crossmember, and a little bit AFTER the lower radiator hose. It kinda moved the hose off it's normal path, but everything still clears fine.
It's maybe a foot away from the drain plug, and it's mounted SLIGHTLY lower than where it would normally be.

I bought an oil relocation/cooling kit from advance auto part once. It is located in the cooling section on their computer. I paid around $49.00.... I've used it on my ka-t. It comes with everything, the lines are not braided.

Mine was leaking as well at the base, but red RTV fixed that. I don't have a choice since it came with my motor, haha.

sil - pae.
anyways...
I looked at the GREX ones and they come with braided lines, but they're not true AN fittings from what I saw @ FRsport(?)
They had braided + some worm clamp built into a look-alike an fitting, lol.
-edit
Not getting relocation.
I'll stick with oem. heehee
