I would like to see just how many real performance guys are here. Please tell if you know what this is and how does it work. Do not worry, you are not being graded. haha Good Luck.

The vehicle is a 2001 GS 430.

 

My first guess? I've seen oil filter relocations / auxiliary filter units similar to this (most due to turbo piping interference and / or filtration issues).

My second guess? It's a transverse mounted torque induced genuine calf-skin bi-valve actuator.

 

looks like oil filter relocation kit.

 

oil relocation kit for those you don't want to get under the car to change the oil filter, the problem is you still have to get under the car to open the oil drain nut ha ha ha. save a bit of time with this. Look like a very clean install who makes the oil adapter? I like I like

 

Correct to all,

It is a relocation kit for an oil filter. You all would be shocked in how many people asked me what it was at show i did a few weeks ago. This oil filter kit is designed for the Supra twin turbo but with longer lines it can be installed on the GS's. The other thing that needs to be done is to make a bracket. Hope you like....

Hope to see more Lexus guys and Girls at the up coming Import Revolution at Anaheim Ca. March 22.

Kodai

 

my bro's company will debut on that show so I'll be there to watch.

 

cooos, which compaany is that

 

what keeps oil from getting all over your sparkling clean engine bay?
( besides lots of rags : )

 

Gravity. Once you open the drain pulg and the the oil is mostly out, you can take of the oil filter off. Very little if any oil drips out. I still use a rag just in case some oil is still left over. Other then that is is very clean oil change....

 

Refill on Blinker Fluid??

 

That's the new hydraulic engine oil level stabilizer! It keeps a constant level of oil in the oil pan when you are cornering hard so the engine doesn't starve for oil! Hee hee. I guess a windage tray could do the same thing.

 

don't you just love buyin IMPORTED "Earl's" lines and fittin's from Trust, Japan
dolla ballr billz
and everybody wonders why a "oil cooler and filter relocator KIT" cost so much
its cause you get like $200 in line and fittings

 

The relocation kit retails for $160. The whole kit not just the lines. Education should be key in all post. do you home work......

 

a Car Show Queen is tryin to tell me to do more research?
gotta love the import scene in America... its so ignorant...

and No, i don't.. HOMEWORK, do you work at home???
yada yada yada, the "oil filter relocation Kit" is relatively cheap.
but a "16row Trust oil cooler AND filter relocator kit" is not.
neither is the Retail on the EARL's braided lines & fitting that come with it...
feel like i'm repeating myself.. blah..

damn prissy lexus owners

 

Yes, i am telling you to do more research. Show car, yes. Daily driver yes. Clean car yes. Here are some number from the TRust master goods catalog.

16 row oil cooler (just the cooler) $490
Oil block adapt (to the block) $120
Thermostat $120
oil filter adat. $120
total $850

hardware makes up for only $40 of the retail price. This includes all brackets and lines and all other nuts and bolts. Yes, do more Research!!

By the way, what shop do you work for again?
