dzehner2 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I was told the same by Brian today, where do we get the 40 micron screen? He said you could order one through the manufacturer that Infamous uses for the lines, but I haven't been able to find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dzehner2 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Found it! http://www.xrp.com/ Call them up, they'll have you set up in no time. Just be sure to specify that you already have a filter housing, and just need the 40 micron media itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Y.X. Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 $40 smackaroos!!! For anyone else that would like to replace their filter from a 10 to a 40, you can call them directly and order it over the phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For anyone else that would like to replace their filter from a 10 to a 40, you can call them directly and order it over the phone. I contacted XRP last summer regarding their filters because mine was damaged. They actually told me the filter I was using (same as V2) was too fine for this application and a larger micron filter should be used prior to this filter to catch larger particles first. The 10 micron filter becomes clogged far too easily and will create excessive pressure at the filter. They also suggested I use the brown oring in oil applications. Again, these words are from an engineer xrp and are not mine. Having said that, I still use the 10 micron filter made by xrp on my car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m sprank Posted April 14, 2016 Author Share Posted April 14, 2016 XRP private label manufactures the V2 filters for me. They are 10 micron. The V1 filters were also 10 micron. 10 micron was the original spec I was given to work with when designing the kits. When the decision was made to switch filters many long conversations were had with the staff at XRP. No one had any issues with the 10 micron size or the filter or the application at that time. Otherwise, I would not have made the change. The V2 filters are stronger and have more filter, hence the desire to change. Also, the brown o-ring is Viton which is for gasoline. I have hundreds of them. If anyone wants one, its about $0.60 for a stamp and an envelope. I can mail you one. But the o-ring provided is the one (supposedly) rated for oil. If anyone wants/needs a 40 micron filter element, I can supply those too. Most likely at a lower price than XRP direct. If the filter kits are kept as an active product, switching to a 40 micron element in the next production run is not an issue and does not effect pricing. My in house test mule has been running the V2 filter set up (10 micron and black o-ring) for over 1 year and 25000 miles with no issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dzehner2 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 As usual, I probably should have called you first before dropping $30 on the 40 micron filter element (I blame my impatience on the impending baby coming... Seriously driving me a bit batty). Lesson learned... Thanks again for getting this great kit together, looking forward to getting it on the car.

m sprank Posted May 6, 2016 Author Share Posted May 6, 2016 Kits have sold out. Not sure if I will make any more at this time. Production numbers would be lower which will raise cost (again). On top of the wait time to recover the expenses (sales volume has dropped off significantly as the cars have aged). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On top of the wait time to recover the expenses (sales volume has dropped off significantly as the cars have aged). Doh, I was too slow. If you ever do another production run, you could definitely count me in for one. I might even be able to get another few local LGT owners interested as well.

m sprank Posted May 9, 2016 Author Share Posted May 9, 2016 I have no kits left. I have miscellaneous pieces of kits. It took over 1 year to sell the last production run. On some pieces I must make far more than needed, so I have extras of those. But, to make a smaller run will increase costs again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WRX USA Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 I have a V1 kit that I still haven't installed, do you have what is necessary (bracket and filter, I imagine) to convert this to a V2 kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m sprank Posted May 16, 2016 Author Share Posted May 16, 2016 I have a few brackets, so I would just need a filter. It will have an extra logo on it (the filter body) but I can make it happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
