RnD on Oil Cooler/ReLocation

Doing some research on making a oil relocation kit + oil cooler
The colt can use various oil filters e.g.
Ryco - z411, z142a, z436
all have a seal diameter of 66mm and the same thread so should fit.Mitsubishi genuine oil filter, part number: MD356000
 Took a photo when i was removing the light weight under drive pulley
The z142a is very short, so you don't have to worry so much if you have a lowered car ;)

Plan is that because the evo 9 and other evo use a similar oil filter or can use this one i believe the oil water block should also be interchangeable :)
I am looking at investing in an oil relocation block for an evo and testing it on a colt.

Our water block oil cooler is a M20x1.5mm still need to rip it off and check the top threads.

looking again at the whole oil cooler scene after seeing some cool oil breather/catchcan systems incorporating the PCV valve and the breather.
therefor getting less blow back and oil residue in the intake plenum

so one of the kits i been trying to understand is the whole oil relocation unit + oil cooler
- it starts at the oil relocation adapter [replaces the oil filter original location mount/assembly]
  - engine out goes to > core in
  - core out > filter in
  - filter out > engine in
One of the threads i found use an inline thermostat from Greedy.
This allows the oil to heat up quickly.

another style is where the oil filter relocation block has 2 sets of in and outs
 - 1 output goes to the filter
 - 1 output goes to the oil cooler
 - 1 input comes from the filter
 - 1 input comes from the oil cooler
this style can use an oil termostat within the relocation block

the YR advance unit i read about does something similar minus the oil filter relocation unit
it replaces the stock water cooled oil element thing for a billet aluminum black with a thermostat inside
it has oil out and oil in to connect the oil cooler.

Mocal thermostat oil filter-to-engine sandwich plate.

Another Greedy style i have seen is where a relocation block is mounted on the engine
 - engine out goes into the oil filter
 - oil filter out goes to the oil cooler
 - oil cooler out goes back to the oil filter relocation block and through to the engine
Basically the oil filter relocation block has 2 x in and 2 x out
I assume it is getting filter on the oil engine out and not the oil return.
Wouldn't want and particles going into the oil cooler.
