Hi all,

As per title , is there any place that sells aftermarket oil cooler lines to suit the FD's stock oil coolers (the twin cooler model). I need to get rid of the hard lines for space as mounting WI tank, oil injection tank etc... I see there are man off the shelf kits for the FB and FC even mazdatrix sells them but I haven't seen any for the FD.

This will completely replace all OEM lines with SS line & AN fittings using the OEM oil coolers. No fitment issues with A/C. Be sure to cover the SS lines with plastic loom at possible rub points.

Awesome mate, exactly what I was after !

 

Is this for twin coolers or one?

 

That's for dual coolers
Also good place to deal with ,bought all my fittings from them

 

Is there any specific place certain parts go to such as the 45, 90, and straights? I would guess 2 90s to connect the dual oil coolers, and then a 45 off the front cover, maybe 2 straights off the other oil cooler fitting.

XRP fittings are quality, but you pay for it.

..and along those lines, not sure why folks would want to spend $s on AN line to replace a perfectly good stock line in a stock configuration

 

I mean I got all the stuff from the second post and wondering the install location of the fittings since there are straights, 45, and 90's.

Nevermind, figured it out.

 

Post up some pics!

 

Engine is starting to get rebuilt so I don't want to guess the length of the hose. I did add a 180 degree fitting for the front cover to pass cooler though.

 

i got 13ft of hose as mentioned in the second post and had plenty left over. i routed mine the stock path. i would say get 13ft. it leaves enough for you to mess up. that 180 for the front cover may not work out so well with the clearance of the lower radiator hose and main pulley.

 

I made my hoses up with the engine out of car, used a 180 on the front cover, didn't even think of the front pulley. gonna order a 90 to be safe, thanks.

 

Yea, that is why I am waiting before doing the lines. Although I want to find where they have those rubber/metal brackets to secure the lines with.
