Best oil filter 8v92

[luvrbus]

Cliff I'm already using the highest CFM ecolite they sell. Leid tells me I need more air yet. Brand new filter will still pull the filter minder down into the red zone not that I have much faith in those. Richard, I don't really have a huge amount of room in there for twin filters. I've seriously considered it, but just can't make it work.

I have been using 2000cfm Eco filters for years Scott I just checked the Parker (RACOR) site and it shows 17 different sizes in the 2000cfm ECO series

"Brand new filter will still pull the filter minder down into the red zone not that I have much faith in those."
Could that possibly be the culprit? Have you looked further into the accuracy of it's function? Just saying...

A 8v92TA will pull 11.5 inches of water at 2100 rpm,I try for 10 inches measure it and see what it is pulling, filter minders are ok but not accurate,a lot of time since the minders come in different inches people install the wrong one without checking

Scott have you seen Wayne Schells double filter setup?
Maybe he will chime in...

Here Scott straight from DD when you use a Y,JMO but I would not go the 2 filter route on your 8v92,I can post you the restrictions for different sizes of piping 7 inch is the standard for your 8v92 @ 550 hp

Had same problem with getting enough air to my 855. With a new filter the minder would go to yellow. Added a second filter and all is good.

BW: I might have to do just this:

Cliff: I'm running a 2000 CFM filter but it's just not quite enough. Leid noticed I'm getting some black smoke on accerlation. Boost is 26psi so that's all good. He said during dyno testing it wasn't blowing smoke and it shouldn't. He's really wanting me to try to get more air in there.

I like your twin setup rusty. So you don't max out your filter minder now?

Before the dual filter setup I could change to a new filter and the minder would start to show yellow from the get go. With the dual filter I have yet to see the minder move.  The 855 is known to smoke a little under normal operations but with the dual filter it it less. I can tell by the smoke film on my toad.

Rusty can you post more photos of your twin filter setup?

[rusty]

Scott I am not sure what you want to see. I will post a couple of other pictures. The way I did it was first fine a place big enough to but a second filter. Then go to a junk yard or get an eco or similar filter that will work. Get as big as that will fit the space but size is not that important we just want to find a little more air. Then pipe the new filter into the existing piping. I used a tee a wye would be better but air will take the path of least resistance and will draw from the second filter if the first filter is not supplying enough or visa vera. I was able to mount the second filter behind a screen to the outside so I could get somewhat cleaner air. Hope this helps

On the oil filter, I'm not seeing any Wix talk or numbers.
The Napa should be same numbering system as Wix and Wix and Baldwin probably the two best filters you can get.

Cummins Fleetguard are good filters,they are the only engine manufacture that makes their own filters

Running two air filters on a 8V-92TA is good since the single air filter is huge. Good Luck, TomC
