It generally costs less to pay for the ready-made AN style lines from RB


EDIT: wait are you using a different oil cooler? If so, what are you using it for?

I made a set of steel braided oil cooler lines a few months ago with a friend.
We bought the parts at a local hydraulic shop. The two lines came out to around $75.

One of those won't equal one stock oil cooler.
Are you running two of them?

You are correct on that, but one of those will be just fine, seeing most of the FDs only have one about that size.

(Cosmo) RE motor swap was mentioned, so I'm assuming it's 300hp+?
It depends on application, but with elevated power levels, that's asking for trouble.
An oil temp gauge will confirm.

That's true, we had an FC with a 13B-RE come through here recently with just one of those Earl's oil coolers on it in the pass side fog lamp and while I wouldn't say it got dangerously hot, it did get hotter than I would feel safe driving hard.
