oil cooler

[sleepersupra]

B&M do a few Kits that have hoses adaptors and a cooler in em, add a T Stat to that buy the NA Filter stud and you have a bullet proof Oil system!

ok

That's exactly what I did...AN8 stainless hose w/ AN fittings on the cooler...had to use the slip on hose clamp type on the stock hardline side.

appreciate it.

I like the RX7 unit, but it's not easy to fit this bugger anywhere you want.

Note the center support is history, and what's left is a custom modification that just happens to use the top part of the stocker, and some brackets left over from another oil cooler that I'm now going to put on my A8 transmission cooling circut.

The RX7 setup is fabricated aluminum end tanks, and radiator style tubes with a built in thermostat. Works great and holds more extra oil too. (Just hope you have a place to mount it.)

11x8 B&M cooler, 180* B&M t-stat. love it. mounted it to the coolant resivour bracket, and center support. gained +20psi on cold start, and +20psi at cruise. i also relocated my oil filter to near the passenger side tow hook, and the filter is about 2.5-3x the size of the stocker.
