I want to post the actual part list needed for making custom oil cooler lines. There are many other options on how to do this such as local fitting shops or buying the stock replacement lines from various suppliers. The threads in the past have been a great source of info, but I didn't find the exact info needed when placing orders. Here is what I assume is needed, with prices and part numbers. If anyone knows of more cost effective suppliers or if this is incorrect please post your thoughts.

Using the stock oil cooler to simply replace the lines, no special applications. AN fittings and lines are -10 and I sourced Aeroquip from Pegasus and adaptors and washers from Mazdatrix.
Here is what is needed from Mazdatrix:
www.mazdatrix.com
(3) -10 >16mm THD adaptors $9.50 per fitting =$28.50 PN#11901
(1) -10 >18mm THD adaptor $9.50 per fitting =$9.50
PN#11902
(3) Sealing washers $1.25 per fitting=$3.75
PN#41-6000-9956
(1) Sealing washers $1.25 per fitting=$1.25
Mazdatrix Total: $43.00

Here is what is needed form Pegasus:
www.pegasusautoracing.com
(1) 45 degree -10 fittings $20.99 per fitting =$20.99 PN# 3271-10-45
(3) 90 degree -10 fitting $21.99 per fitting =$65.97 PN# 3271-10-90
(8 Feet+) -10 hose $6.49 per foot = $51.92
PN#3270-10
Pegasus Total: $138.88

Total parts only not including shipping: $181.88


Here is a narrative of what is happening:
From the rear housing to the cooler:
Maxdatrix sealing washer PN# 41-6000-9956
Mazdatrix adaptor fitting PN#11902
Aeroquip 90 degree fitting PN#3271-10-90
Aeroquip -10 hose PN#3270-10
Aeroquip 90 degree fitting PN#3271-10-90
Mazdatrix adaptor fitting PN#11901
Mazdatrix sealing washer PN#41-6000-9956

From the front cover to the cooler:
Mazdatrix sealing washer PN#41-8000-9956
Mazdatrix adaptor fitting PN#11902
Aeroquip 45 degree fitting PN#3271-10-45
Aeroquip -10 hose PN#3270-10
Aeroquip 90 degree fitting PN#3271-10-90
Mazdatrix adaptor fitting PN#11901
Mazdatrix sealing waher PN#41-6000-9956

That apears to be it. I stated 8 feet of -10 hose and that may be a little more then actually needed. It leaves a little extra if a mistake is made on cutting etc.
Again, I know this is not the most cost effective method out there but demonstrates what is needed for building your own AN fitted oil cooler lines.

I am not repsonsible for errors in pricing or part numbers supplied. Please confirm before ordering.
Again, if these PN's are incorrect please list corrections.
Hope it helps.

Awesome! Archive material!

Just got off the phone with MazdaTrix, ordering the adaptors needed for building your own lines. The adaptors were 11902 and 11901. The guy stated that off the shelf AN 90 did not clear the oil cooler up front, and that the prefab AN lines that they sold carried a specially made fitting from Racing Beat. He stated that the cooler would have to be relocated to clear.

If anyone has any feedback on that, regarding the clearance issues please reply. I had already ordered the fittings from www.Racerspartswholesale.com and they were about $6.00 cheaper, plus you receive 5% off AN fitting orders over $100.00. So savings would be $10-12 from Pegasus.

Has this worked? GSL-se compatible? (Linux/) Just what I was thinking of doing next (Damn leaky line!) THanks!

When using a 90 degree fitting for the top of the oil cooler, the line might touch against some metal next to the fan dupport, depending on instal. You can notch about 1.5" of sheet metal out of it, bend the existing metal upwards a little more, or go ahead and use a 120 degree bend 10 An fitting for the top of the oil cooler.

I can grab pics of oil lines I fabbed up eariler this week if you wish.

All I did was take my old lines to ye old local hydraulic hose shop.
Brazed on a new AN Adaptor fitting on the stock metal fittin and made me up a pair of Teflon lined SS Sheathed hoses. Total cost 76.00

This is some good info but on the other hand I just installed my SS oil lines from Racing Beat the other day and for basically $210 they come pre-made with shrink tubing in the right places to prevent rubbing and the quality of them is awesome. I have put together AN lines before and sometimes there a pain in the ****. For the extra 20-30 dollars it’s worth it in my book.

Don’t have to order/find all the parts, don’t have to build them, just plug and play. But it’s awesome that you found all that information. Definitely a must for people on the ultra slim FC budget

Fricken waste of money and time...
Racing Beat lines are just about the same price.
If you want cheap, go with the Cork Sport units that are about HALF the price.

Yeah, I got the corksport lines and they are great.

scathcart

Building my own cost my $135 per set in US funds, which includes shipping, about the same price as the corkport. The main reason I choose to do so as such is it allows me to get rid of all of the stock banjo fittings, which, as well all know, flow like anus. By increasing the flow through the lines, you dcrease total pressure drop through the oil cooler, and get a higher overall oil flow for any given engine oil pressure, which is reason enough for me to spend the extra money over the corksport lines.

Are the threads for the adapters 18x1.5 and 16x1.5 ?
