I use the TRD-1030 dual mount and two K&N HP3001s for more than 12
GPM at 9,600 RPM.
Not at all needed for lower airplane RPM and much less flow, and very
heavy, when both cans are full of oil. So, the choice then could be
based on how your oil lines will be run, and where the filter will be mounted
in the cowl. You would want to have the can hanging straight down to avoid
messes when changing. Some place where you can get to it with both
hands.
And once you determin where, then lay out the oil lines with the idea
that the bends should be (to the extent possible) (one of my favorate
Government terms) made using the oil hose rather than angled
fittings.
Observe the minimum bend radius for your hose. Each drilled 90 degree
fitting has the same drag of 3 feet of hose. So, the filter mount that allows
for the best combination is the one you want. If a 90 degree turn is required
as a fitting try to use a tube fitting, where the bend is actually a 90 degree
bend in a metal tube, rather than the intersection of two drilled holes in a
fitting.
The TRD-1028 is the most common, for mounting low in the left or right
quadrant of the fire wall. Not much of a choice unless angled fittings are
used.
The TRD-1045 has horizontal fitting holes and this gives a bit more
lattitude in mounting location. Also the unused holes can be used for pressure
and temp senders for primary or back up indication.
