AN Fittings

[dmax_silvia_s13]

I havent found anything about this and I am sick of searching!
Is there no such this as a AN-6 female to AN-8 male fitting!???
All I can fucking find are AN-8 female to AN-6 male reducers.
I need this fitting because my oil cooler uses AN-6 fittings and the Oil filter relocation kit uses AN-8.
If anybody can show me where these exist that would help because I cant find them.

-6 is fairly small for engine oil lines.

-6 for oil???? i use -6 for fuel....-6 line is only 3/8ths inch line. -10 is 5/8ths inch line. you may suffer oil starvation running such small lines.

That's my point.

Sounds like a power steering cooler.

yea eithor P/S cooler, trans, or fuel, but NOT an oil cooler.

there is no reason a -6 line should be used for oil, the amount of pressure kept b/c of a small line doenst outweigh the the amount of flow a bigger line will provide.

-8 line is prob the best of both worlds small enough to maintain pressure and still large enough to provide agequate flow.

-10 line will prodvide better flow but may* result in a minimal pressure loss (not much to worrie about)

-12, personally i think should only be used with a dry sump system.

compared to stock, i noticed no difference in pressure drop using -10 line.

Ditto. -8 would even be lame, every oil cooler I've seen is -10.

Yeah It says its an oil cooler on the fluidyne site but I am not going to use it now.
Im going to use it for a ps cooler.

[GSXRJJordan]

Excellent choice, sir.
