Is anyone running the ACR oil filter adapter on a Gen 2.

[troublemaker]

This is one of those parts that when you find it, if you want it buy it now. I appreciate all the help.

Alright, there is something I just don't get - If I am right in my flow path assumptions (and I might not be), how does the valve in the non-ACR adapter work? If the from the allen cap, the plunger goes first in then the spring, it would be excess pressure that bypasses the cooler, not low pressure. Since that isn't the case, I can't visualize how the spring plunger mechanism works. Does it positively shut off the cooler at low pressure or just open a bypass? Anyone know? Thanks

i know for lancer evo's and other cars that have them they have kits that are a plug like that, with a shaft, and a disc like a washer with a seal that blocks the chamber into oil cooler mode all the time.

we had 4-5 people email about these based of this thread, to make sure the OP gets one, could you please PM real names? we have 3 instock...............

2 people pm'd me, 1 sent me a mesg on ebay, 1 to my email, and 1 to paul's email that he forwarded to me. making this real confusing

 

[troublemaker]

Ryan, sorry I didn't see this earlier, but I sent you a PM just now.

 

[Ryan_DSA]

by dates on P'ms and emails here is the order so far:

TroubleMaker
Ron
MadMax
ViperTony

Im going to go dig through the bin of timing covers and try to find some more of these.

 

[troublemaker]

I purchased one this morning, it looks like Ron is up. If nobody wants it Ryan, I will take it as a back up, but I am not going to hoard them. I am surprised in the interest in them, it seemed like a long lost, dead issue.

 

[Mad Max]

I still want one. Waiting on a reply back.

 

[troublemaker]

Ryan, what other cool trinkets might you have hanging out in those magic bins?

 

[Ryan_DSA]

TroubleMaker ordered from VCA/VPA
RonPaid
MadMaxPaid
ViperTony


oh what are you looking for, i dont check the bins often in winter, they are in a warehouse that is like walking around in a deep freezer from nov-april

So does this mean the 3rd adapter is available to me?

 

[troublemaker]

It can wait until April. I just figured if you had parts that are considered unobtanium just sitting in some bins, the possibility of other hard to find parts might be hiding in there.

Thanks a lot for helping us out.

 

[WDW MKR]

Looks like a missed the boat. Ryan, sent you a PM in case you have any left that could be thrown in with my current order through Paul.

 

[CEJ]

Have you all checked VPA for the adapter?

 

[troublemaker]

I did, they had 4 when I ordered mine.

Here is how they look as new, but check with Ryan first and we will be standing by...

 

[Mad Max]

Is the picture of the ACR unit or the non-ACR one? Looks like the non-ACR version to me.

This is the one specified in the Illustrated Upgrades:

http://forums.viperclub.org/threads...Installation-(Gen-II)-by-Henry-amp-Janni-Cone

Here is the one shown in that tutorial:

The other adapter shown for the Gen 2 Viper is in plentiful supply, albeit around $125 more expensive. We will order one of those as well.

 

[Ron]

The pictures above and the one shown in the Cone guide are not the ACR adapter. I just checked my stock 1996 GTS and unless I got a special pre-production ACR adapter (not likely), 04763735C is stock pressure valved oil filter adapter as verified by the part number. The image without the valve body / allen cap must be the ACR adapter.

Still looking for someone that knows how the stock filter adapter valve functions. Not at what pressure, but in what mechanical way.

Thanks

 

[ViperTony]

The parts listing for 1999, 2000 shows two part numbers for the oil filter adapter:

04886503AC 1 EWB
04886503AD 1 EWB [ARC]

Let's assume ARC is spelled incorrectly and really should read ACR then it would appear 04886503AD is the correct ACR Oil Filter adapater. This is confusing.

 

[troublemaker]

Now you have me second guessing what I ordered. When it gets here I will compare it to the one on my car, it should be stock.

 

[Viper Parts of America]

We believe that the Illustrated Upgrade shows the wrong part and part number. Any that we sold will get the correct part, of course!

 

[Ryan_DSA]

We are out right now, i will be headed out to the ware house to try and dig out a couple more..........

 

[troublemaker]

Not good, but I guess I leanrned something form this thread and hopefully this will at least add some good searchable material for the next people that look for the information. A lot of confusion has come from the lack of material and the lack of correct material on the subject. It figures my first real modification to the car would go South, at least I got that out of the way.

I have this one with a part number on it, it is the one we use to the guys in the shop can compare and make sure when they find one it is correct.

[Ryan_DSA]

there is a cylinder with holes in the sides, at some point the sleeve slides over and closes/opens 2 set of holes in the housing, im not sure if its a pressure thing, or if at a certain temperature the spring collapses

 

[CEJ]

Thanks for the pics Ryan. Looks like the ACR unit ends in 36AD if I'm seeing that correctly.

 

[Ryan_DSA]

there are 3-4 different part numbers for these

this one the with thermostat has :04763735C, which dosnt work on the dodge site, i tried to change it to : 4763735AC and nothing works



the suspected "ACR" style one is :04763736AD : 4763736AD or 4753736AD and neither work

 

[Ryan_DSA]

I found one more, Viper Tony you are up.


next is:WDW MKR, who mesged and called in.

I cant get at most of the bins because they are stacked, so when ever a fork lift gets back there i will check for more

 

[WDW MKR]

Thanks for the effort, Ryan.
