Amsoil EaBP-90 2006 Tacoma Trans Bypass

[AzFireGuy79]

Here is the EaBP-90 I installed on my 2006 Tacoma Prerunner a few months ago. I am running Redline D6 and plan to do a UOA after about 25k and hope to run the filter out to around 60K or so. Special thanks to Gary Allen for processing these pics for me and giving me valuable ideas to complete this project! So far this setup has been great and only cost about $60.

Looks pro!

The only thing I would examine is the quality of the hose clamps. Are those the best from a hydraulic house?

 

[AzFireGuy79]

Thanks pabs. Yeah I spent the extra dough on some high quality clamps from HosePowerUSA. They are a local hydraulic shop here in the southwest. I actually installed the same thing on my Camry although pics on it are next to impossible to get seeing that its mounted behind the drivers headlight assembly. Im excited to see particle counts!

I might ask the guy next time around if these are the best hose clamps they have, but they are pretty robust in contrast to many others I have used. I think they will be fine. It would be a different story if I sourced them from autozone!

Looks good..............Same concern on the hose clamps. You should have better ones IMO.

What do you hope to accomplish with this setup?

Was this just for fun?

How much extra atf did you have to use?

Good job, BTW, looks well done

I wanted the very best in transmission filtration. Who knows how long I will keep this truck, one can really never say. I would like to extend my trans OCI's while giving it the best chance at a long service life. It was fun and didn't take long after all of the parts were compiled.

As far as extra ATF, I believe it is around a quart, maybe a bit more.

 

[hate2work]

Cool...I've always wondered about filtering the atf, especially since all I do are drain and refills, never dropping the pan. The extra quart in the system should help you extend your OCIs on that tranny.

I'll bet you could come up with a way to cool the fluid right at the filter, or maybe inline.

 

[AzFireGuy79]

I considered adding something in the way of better cooling, but the stock transmission cooler looks to be more than adequate along with the Synthetic ATF I chose. That and the extra capacity surely didn't hurt. I know most think this is overkill, but having it, I would never go back to standard filtration in any of my cars.

The particle counts later on should justify my small investment!

Is this simply T'd into the cooler hoses in parallel?
Is the cooler providing the resistance for bypass flow?

 

[Gary Allan]

Yes. There's enough drop across the cooler to drive the fluid through the bypass filter. The .030 restrictor keeps the flow in check. It's the simplest way for bypass filtration on a cooler circuit.
