Taps for RDU and PTU - 10-19

[kryptto]

I know a formerly active member put in his own sourced taps for RDU and PTU - while I have the attention of UPR - anyone interested if they will design their own? Making no promises - however I can ask and see if they would think of other model vehicles that might also be of interest.

When I last had contact @Ecoboost_xspor he said he was out.

Drilling and Tapping the PTU, RDU, and Transmission for Drain Plugs [Step-By-Step]

Overview Why would we do this? Well, it’s really just to make life a tiny bit easier for you while conducting maintenance on the platfrom. The PTU is a known weak link and changing the fluid AS-IS (depending on what iteration of PTU you have…see this post) can be a PITA. It’s important to use […]

Anyone?

That would be cool. Maybe 1/4-18, 1/2 NPT fitting with a cap. Would be nice if they made a kit for it with a bit and a tap.

I have one of the previous kits that I have never bothered to install. I would prefer somewhat of a different style. The current kit is tapped into the desired component to be drained. Then there is a knurled cap that gets put on by hand and you use shrink tubing heated over the fitting and cap to keep it on. I would like to see something with a quick connect, a valve, or more of a traditional drain plug with a bolt head.

Sure thing - just a small repeat from another thread I wrote - I have a neighbor who works for UPR, he asked me to bring my car in to shoot a Taurus 2 valve catch can install - for those that don't know both sides of the engine are being filtered, this dual valve.

Steve at UPR wants to compete with J&L and make a Taurus dirty side CC and dual catch can.

They are seeing the potential of the cars aftermarket price dropping and this a new crop of younger mechanics and enthusiasts.

They have magnetic quick drain plugs for oil and not advertised for our cars. Maybe while I have them making CCs for us we can get them to make other useful parts

More ideas welcome.

The photos don't show up on that link when I open it. I have already done the PTU but am interested in the other 2. Do you have pictures that belong to this write up?

 

[kryptto]

no pics, all that link was for is the dual catch can. I have been migrating off Google, or let's say trying.

my suggestion for taps, call or contact Steve Bussius directly. tell him you know his previous neighbor.
