oil filter housing flip

[93supercoupe]

I just wanna make sure about this,,,

Is it safe for me to take a b25 oil filter housing and flip it 180* so the filter is pointing towards the radiator?

Is there anything else that needs to be done for this?

go for it. I swapped the oil cooler lines in the housing to make them fit, but had no problems. It's tight to get the oil filter on, but there is just enough clearance to the bracket. I'm not sure you can fit it if you still have AC though.

nothing needs to be done really. if you don't have AC, there's tons of room for the filter - you could also use a shorter one from an E30M3.

that said if you don't have a turbo or some huge headers, just leave it the way it came stock.
