Biggie Oil Filter and the V4 ?

[salvageV6]

Anyone know what filter fits with the RJC Biggie Oil Filter mod. and the V4 intercooler and stock bracketry?

Any help would be appreciated, it looks like the filter couldn't be too much longer than a UPF52 which I'm using now. My last one so I want to put the adapter in there and stay big and well made.

TIA

PS: salvageV6 don't answer this one, your technical knowledge is lacking in this area. Thanks.

I have the V4 and use a front mounted relocation oil filter kit and it works great. Plus, there is a line from the filter mount that makes sure you get fresh oil to the turbo via stainless braided line. The filter mounts behind the passenger side headlights and won't make a mess when you take it off...Just reach under the bumper and unscrew it, no more pouring of oil everywhere when the filter comes off the front cover...And the filter is much larger,I forget exactly which filter I use, but it is much bigger than the PF52.

Which kit is that? Not sure what's behind my headlights these days. Ball of wires prolly for the upgraded H4 beams.

I already have the biggie oil adapter but I will keep that option open.

B9 is the biggest I've seen and used, might be something bigger but haven't seen one yet.

Wonder why the B9 keeps coming up? When I do a search on the 455 Buick Big Block (what the biggie filter adapter is patterned after), it always comes up with the B39

Dave have you tried the 39? I have only been using the B9 for a few months and saw a few PSI increase after installation, 60 cold and 24 hot idle. Only switched because of the Pureone filter being discontinued. Let us know if you have tried the 39 or the 9 and have any feedback. I can get any Baldwin filter locally.

Who sells the Baldwins?

About how much?

TIA

I had an AC PF-24 or a Fram 25 and both fit with the biggie filter and the V4. It is tight but it fit.

No i haven't yet. Even though I work for a place that sells Baldwin filters, they don't have the B9 or B39 in stock so I'll have to special order them.
I'm still running with a recently installed WIX so it may be a while before I try a Baldwin on the 86.

I did however find that they carry the Baldwin counter parts to the PF47(B43-S) and PF52, so I got the B35-S (PF52) and hope to get it in the 87 this upcoming weekend.

The Baldwin B39 is the nominal cross reference for the Delco PF24.
The B9 is a 20% longer version of the B39, with same thread and gasket size.

All filters are with "no bypass" (it's in the engine-side adapter), and all have anti-drainback valves. For me, the baldwin anti-drainback has been more consistent than delco (using the mouth "blow test").

Unless you have extra "plumbing" in the engine compartment that "might" get in the way, the longer B9 easily fits with the RJC Biggie oil adapter.

Got it B9 or B39 for the car without the V4.

Will try both.

Now just gotta find them.

Anyone know ballpark price?

TIA

under $5 for a B9 at my local distributor, I expect this is a typical price.

Cool, cheaper than the old Ultraguards.
