Oil Cooler installation help requested

[BoulderG]

I'm adding a remote oil cooler to the stock 2000 Honda CBR929RR motor in my car. My best plan is an "oil filter relocation kit" that will allow me to plumb in a large oil filter before the cooler and provide the adaptor I need for the engine side. Something like this:

They key is finding the adapter from the engine. Is it a funky size?
Any suggestions on where to get this for a Honda motorcycle motor?
Is there a better or smarter way to do this?

Thanks for the help.

Have you done a Google search for something like, oil filter relocation CBR929RR?

Maybe there are Honda racing forums or venders you could ask.

I got my oil filter relocation kit from Peter D Motorsports. My engine is a Kawasaki. Not sure about Hondas.

I've found likely sources for what I need, but we need to verify the size of the adapter ring that attaches to the engine in place of the oil filter.

Does anyone know the measurements, or a source for the measurements?

Needed:
Oil filter inner flange diameter
Oil filter outer flange diameter
Oil filter thread size/pitch
Oil filter thread depth

(Unfortunately, I'm away from my car for ten days.)
Thanks,
G-Man

See if you can look up oil filter part numbers that fit your engine and then find their specs. Or, just buy a filter and measure it.

A quick search on the Baldwin filter website shows that most of the Honda bikes use a 20 x 1.5mm thread, which is also the same thread size used on most late model Honda cars (1988 & later). Earlier model Honda cars used a 22 x 1.5mm thread (which is what I use on my H-prod Honda).

Note: Baldwin's site did not have a listing for the CBR929RR but they did list the CBR600, CBR1000, and CBR1100.

Grab a cheap filter from Wally world (Fram or Filtech) to check. Anything from a 1988 or later Civic should work.

Thank you very much, Russ and GP15.

Just one more comment...

Once you have determined which thread size you have, consider using a higher quality machined 'billet' adapter instead of one of those cheap cast units like you would find from Jeg's. If you ever compared the two side-by-side, the quality of the machined unit is much higher and the ports are much less restrictive. The cost is relatively insignificant (around $75 I think) for the better unit.

Canton makes a very nice machined unit:
