I will freely admit that being a bit strung out from work is not helping me think clearly here, but for a 2.4 L engine that does not have a front mounted oil cooler are these the right lines to connect Ben’s tank to the engine?

Thanks!

They will work but I have really moved towards the black AN lines as its much easier to mix and match.

Send me an email mid next week with particulars of your setup and I will make a list. I am heading south for a few days.

As long as the scavenge return hard line is the right type/length you should be good.

That kit the #18/1 is only the soft line return (from engine into tank). Also needed is a long hard line with a 90 degree bend, then it goes around the stock /6 motor mount, to this rubber hose (18/1, left/front) and then on to the tank.
This hard line is not included in this hose kit.

Thank you for the information, appreciate the responses.

Is there a recommended oil filter console, and would that vary based on running a front cooler or not using one at all?

Thanks!

I think Ben is making the oil consoles again.

The console isn't part of the these hoses, except for the GT console.

The 18/1 and stock hard line isn't the set up you want if running to a front cooler as you have to run to a thermostat first, so all this hose will be custom, Ben has the GT lines, some use AN hose, etc.

My build I mostly put together an assortment of hoses because I can and there's no way in hell I'm spending over $1000 (Canadian) for a couple of hoses and the cooler mod. Purists will hate my plumbing, but I'm happy with my result.

Is that a higher capacity filter and that is why it is desirable?

Yes.. 2.4 and later 911 engines got this. PMS also sells one.
Direct fit on factory 6 and aftermarket (Bens) tanks.
