Amsoil Dual Bypass

[amsoilman]

DonM,

Look at the previous post I made to Shortshift.

The (BMK-12) Dual-Gard, (BMK-11) Single Remote, are connected in parallel with the main flow of oil, By-passing about 10% of the oil flow through the elements. The (BMK-15) Duel-remote connects to the oiling system so all the oil flows through the "Full-flow" element on the mount, but only about 10% will flow through the By-pass element on the same mount. This is accomplished within the mount itself.





Best regards,





Wayne

Wayne,



ok, now I get it. The thing is tapped into the oil cooler/filter base on P's truck. Man, Im asleep at the wheel today.

I have my oil temp gauge there now.

Thanks Amsoilman.



It sounds like if you have the dual bypass unit, the 2 bypass filters are in series w/ each other, and their circuit is in parallel w/ the main fullflow ckt.



That means that about 10% of the oil branches off from the main ckt, passes through one bypass flter, then has to pass through the other bypass filter before it joins up w/ the main ckt. Pls correct me if im wrong.



If this is the case, there should be very little loss in overall engine pressure as long as the lines arent very long.



Sounds like a pretty good system. Would be a perfect way to tap in an oil-cooler - hehe.

Shortshift,



The two By-pass elements on the (BMK-12) Dual-gard are connected in parallel with each other. This is done inside the mount. The mount is then connected in parallel with the oiling system ie. Full-flow filter. Have I got you totally confused now?

Don M like Amsoilman says the motor handles 90% of the flow and because of the restrictor valve in the BMK12 (small hole- appox 3/16 in) it only allows a maximum of 10% of the flow to go through its system , once the flow hits the mount the flow is split equally through both filters at the same time (5% flow each filter)and then back to the motor ... ... Soon I am going to hook up the oil cooler , I am thinking of hooking up three small fans to the cooler controled from inside with a switch (radioshack sells all kinds) The cooler is 12 x 4 inch ... three 4 inch fans like the ones cooling a computor I think would do the trick mounted side by side also covering 12 x4 inches of cooling area... do I hear overkill again

A little confused with the set-up. I understand how the By-Pass system works, but were are the in/out oil lines connected that go to the By-Pass? I can't visualize how it should hook up and still use the full-flow filter.

Thanks for clarification

Aha! I now understand. Thank you.

Paul... . If you go to picture DSCF0015 (below) you will see the full flow filter with the aux output on the filter mount , the bypass system get its supply here then go to DSCF0018 (link below) and you will see the return line going back into the valve cover , the full flow filter is still in its original place #ad

O. K. I understand it now. Pictures always help in case of a mental breakdown. It looks like you're using the same oil port from the full-flow that I have hooked up to my turbo. I'll need to check that out when I finish shoveling snow.

I've the BMK-15 mounted to the battery box on my truck. Could the BMK-12 be used with the 15? I'd have to mount it to the drivers side because of space available, and use the BE-90's. Would there be a problem with the oil pump and flow rate pressure? Just a thought.

A very cool looking set up!

Thanks for clarifying

Paul

Mentally low, but increasing in HP

 

[PZicha]

There is an aux output next to the turbo supply ,If you look at the picture the turbo line is under the word (image)... ... ... I don't see why the BMK15 couldn't be used with the BMK12 , If you do it take some pics and post it

 

[PLaFrombois]

Now see what you've done. I'm starting to figure out how to mount a Bmk-11, or 12 to my truck. What would you have to use for the hardware if you wanted to return the oil to the "fill cap"? Is there a special cap that's been threaded to accept the fittings from the hoses? Could I use the other output fitting from the top of the full-flow filter mount? I stated earlier the other one is being used for the turbo.

[amsoilman]

If you send me your E-mail address, I can attach some pictures of how to modify the fill cap. I do them all the time.

YYYYEEEESSSS

 

[PLaFrombois]

Thanks Peter for the info. Does that mean both of those outlets are considered to be "High Pressure"? What size hose and adapter fittings did you use? I might have to find someplace to mount it under the truck because of the size and there's not enough room by the other battery.

Paul



Wayne thanks for the e-mail. Let the project begin!
