Worm clamps are for garden hoses.

For temp cycling critical fluids, prevailing torque clamps are required.

Oil, air, coolant, fuels

I have (2) different derale sandwich adapters but was going to move to a remote mount setup at the bare minimum, which almost all use the 3/4-16 threads. I am looking into the hellcat oil pump and if I can simplify the dual filter setup sketched below - that is a lot of leak paths and $$$ fittings. I don't use worm clamps anymore after (2) failed and cost me around $200 worth of Redline oil. At a bare minimum I would use the single remote filter with integrated thermostat.

Single filter remote with thermostat gets my vote.

I did see this earlier,and i thought you had a good idea with the way you have it routed.With the Hellcat pump,you'll have lots of volumn to maintain pressure through this set-up.A/N hoses are the way to go,do you have the jaw vices for building them,as they make the job a whole lot nicer,with less blood leakage. This is the way i set up my braided hoses for cutting,use a thin zip disc to cut between the tie wraps

I do, but everything’s in storage while we’re building. I bought some pre-made hoses for the sandwich adapter but it was only two hoses, I’m not paying labor for all those connections, plus I don’t want to have to pre-measure and be stuck with those lengths so I’ll either get the stuff out of storage or wait until the house is done, maybe summer finally.

What sandwich adapter are you running or are you running remote mount filter? I don't have the 6.4 heat exchanger, I have a derale 34 row 59K BTU heat exchanger. I also don't have any of the grill shutters or anything - I think those came in 2015?

What are a few examples of oil pressure, temperature at X ambient temps?



I log everything through VCM scanner (HP Tuners). All of the temperatures make sense at various points, oil temp around ambient when cold, etc. I don't believe I have a sensor issue, just a heat issue and everything is working as designed, I just want to remove heat without sacrificing idle oil pressure.

This is the adapter I'm running https://www.improvedracing.com/oil-filter-sandwich-plate-with-thermostat-for-oil-coolers-10an.html

My temps never see 109°c even on hot days. My oil pressure sits around 50psi on average. Unless I'm on it then I can see 70+ psi

I was looking at that one earlier, just wasn’t sure it would fit the big filter as the one I have is 1.75 thick and did NOT fit the bigger filter but this is 0.375 thinner.
I have no clearance issues At all with the big filter. Definately worth it in my opinion.

That's smart to ziptie both ends. I just usually wrap the **** ouda it with electrical tape.
Ps. How's free speech prison? Pretty sad eh!
