Oil coolers and lines.

[chuy]

Ive been slowly building my kit and Im down to the cooler and lines and was wondering what size to run? -8AN or -10AN, I found out that Greedy uses -8AN though any help? Thanks in advance.

[Flybert]

Most of the higher priced kits use -10AN and most people I know that track their cars use -10AN. I don't see why -8AN wouldn't work though. Setrab coolers are great and www.splparts.com sells them.

[slider2828]

I would use -8AN because anything larger you will have MAJOR problem running the lines. Trust me, I have the greddy cooler and the lines barely fit. Secondly you will need to run the lines　between the engine mount so -8AN is best..... When I say betwee, it basically means go through the engine mount itself.

O btw setrab are oil coolers that are OEM on ferrari`s and porsches...

What are you talking about with "going between" the engine mount? That doesn't make sense. Do you have pictures of what you are talking about?

[chuy]

-8AN and I was also reading about a transadapter? Do any of you all know what that is. I hope its not a part of the relocator kit.

I know what he's talking about, and take his word for it, you'd be hard pressed to squeeze a -10AN line thruogh there

Hes on that crappy greddy sandwich that has the lines come out parralell with the block, yeah, fuck that noise.

ball outta control redneck spec Run 1/2in barb fittings on a non thermostated base plate and get that retarded kit that turns side mounts to oilcoolers or whatever.

I'm prolly gonna run

Tomei Base Plate
-10AN Prolite with crimped on ends
-Earls Oilfilter stand + Thermostat
-Setrab Core in fairly hefty size

I've been through too many motors/hate climbing under my car too much to dick around with shit denso cores and crappy filter bases.

just run a 1/2 barb and you'll be fine.. sandwich thermostatic adapter place 180F, little bigger oil filter.. say a 4 row cooler and you're set!! thats what i'm running and no probs.. at all.. look into Hayden.. from the cooler, to the sandwich plate.. low cost not flashy looking and most importantly gets the job done! my .02 cents.. you can get the cooler for 80 bucks, and plate for about 30.. buy lines and some fittings and u're set!

don't get your hopes up on install thread from me
A) it may be a while before I do it
B) Im lazy balls.

[ThatGuy]

Get somebody else to take pictures of your set-up and type it then. :bowrofl:

[hybrid_eg]

what pictures are you guys talking about? i must be missing something? lol.. just thought i'd give you guys advice on what i did for a very decent price and works great!

[slider2828]

Well the greddy is not parallell to the block because it has 4 fittings on the sandwich plate...... yah secondly, my kit is the GTR kit, so the oil cooler is much bigger than the sr20.... thirdly I got it for 200 bux everything included....
Can you build the cooler kit for 200 bux? Didn't think so....

[chuy]

I already bought a universal kit from Summit, and Im going to get the hoses and all that jazz and run a Setrab or Earls but Im looking at maybe a 13 row or 8 row, over kill. Also I was going to get an inline thermostat.

[Y4555]

OR, you could do it up Japanese-style and just buy an FC turbo oilcooler from a junkyard and put some earls fittings on it to run it through your filter relocation kit. Total cost approx. $200...

[Dousan_PG]

ok my setup. oil cooler gangster expensive setup haha


tomei engine block
setrab oil cooler
aeroquip fittings
aeroquip braided ss lines
summit racing some brand remote oil filter unit (no thermo, not street driven)

total: 6 fittings
lots of an line
tomei block
summit filter thing
oil filter
and a good amount of oil

hahaha

should be freakin siiick hahah

total cost? too much but well worth the $$
an or nothing. no slip fitting shit.

[chuy]

But what size -AN are you going to run? Thats my main question so I can order the oil cooler and fittings,thermostat.

[chmercer]

Can you build the cooler kit for 200 bux? Didn't think so....

yes, easily. you can run an oil cooler for 50 bucks, 200 bucks would be running all baller equipment.

OP - run 10an if you can, 8 is ok if thats all you got though.

PS for oil transfer you should consider getting aramid braid hose instead of stainless, pretty much the only thing metal braided hose is needed for is brake lines, i dunno why everyone uses it on everything. aramid braided hose is way lighter and the price is similar.

[Dousan_PG]

oh im running all -10


200 bucks is NOT baller
sorry
200 barely covers an fittings and lines hahaha

im at the ..mm i think mine 600ish oil cooler setup
not bragging, just bieng honest
depends how far and how much of aperfectionist you are
i dont want to change it later.

[hitman]

i have a fc core in my garage, anyone heard anything good/bad about those?

[chmercer]

lol aaron 600 bucks is like omg rich man polished platinum lines with ruby encrusted cooler

if you get your parts used off ebay you can get billet filter landing and relocation, setrab core, goodridge kevlar lines, hayden thermo for ~ 200

[Dousan_PG]

like i said it depends how far u go
i coulg have gotten some sandwich adapter setup and shit like lindsay did (u know)

but i want the baller setup haha
good an fittings are bank. i foudn this out fast. damn motor rbuild it killng me.

[chmercer]

yeah im just sayin for the rest of us poor hobos :)

[Vatche]

so whats the deal with the thermostat, hows that work. where do u install it on the oil cooler setup, whats it for.

^stupid questions but i need to start somewhere to figure out what it is for

[Flybert]

Thermostat can be included in the filter block or you can buy one separately that hooks up to the lines after the filter and after the cooler that way it diverts oil from going to the cooler when temps are low.

[Vatche]

ooh totally makes sense, thanks

[chuy]

Yea another DIY selfer. So Ill be running -10AN lines and connectors and try to get everything together and see what happens.
