If fitment wasn't a problem, would the efficeincy be the same or better?

 

any update HC?

shouldn't there be 3 - 18mmx1.5 and 1 - 22mmx1.5 because the stock oil coolers take 18mm? or am i reading wrong info around the forum?

 

An auto tranny cooler may not be rated to handle the normal engine pressure level, the pressure an auto trans cooler line is not nearly as high.

My oil pressure pegs the guage at cold start up. Maybe close to 100 psi.

A clue may be Trans Oil cooler lines are usually held on with simple light duty clamps. Compare that with the fittings used in the FD's oil system.

Is there a writeup for this yet? I'm curious to see how the 2nd cooler was mounted.

 

bump for update w/ pics.. specifically on the bracket made for the passenger install. Thanks G

 

id prefer the aftermarket coolers...they look so much better than the stockys. price sucks though

can the stock oil coolers be cleaned with the same chemicals used to clean houseold a/c coils? because mine have so many bugs and dirt stuck in the coils

 

theres a company where you can send your oil coolers to and they will clean it up/fix fins and whatever and return it to you as if it were brand new, forgot what the site was but i remember damonb did it, try doing a search

 

i dont want to have to pay..thats the thing haha. i want to be able to clean them myself. thats why i'm asking

 

Man, I got excited when I saw this thread bumped up. I thought the instructions were finally on here

 

That would be American Cooler Service, www.americancooler.us/index

Arlington, Tex. They have all the FAA certifications to do aircraft coolers.

planning on adding a second cooler over the winter. want to just stick with oem as i think it will do the job fine.

 

In the UK we can use Motec oil coolers which aren't too expensive, I have the dual oil coolers but uprating them is on my 'to do' list.

I cleaned mine up using a decent sized paint brush and Auto Glym engine cleaner, they came up like new!

 

It will. Did wonders for me. G

 

Dammit!! Every time I see this thread bumped, I get all excited to see a writeup with pics!!


Fooled again I guess......

 

really interested in the details...Post some pics with it too

 

Howard could you post a picture of the pick set you use. I don't understand what you mean by "oval" shaped pick. Thanks.

 

what a tease

 

is there a write up on this yet, I just ordered the parts from pegasusracing...

 

Give the guy a break, he's probably messing around with his auxillary injection type stuff Bump for a writeup since we're all a little too lazy to do our own engineering

 

post pics of the stuff when you get it!

 

it's good to see the thread hanging in there... i promised that i would pull the nose on my car in January to do an install/pics post and what do you know it is January. look for a lot of pics in the near future. i will be adding an FJO oil temperature and FJO oil pressure gauge to my setup too.

real soon...

So anybody want to buy my DS cooler w/ ducting? I even have the lines from my R2 that I'll throw in.

 

I got the R1 set up but I never had oil temp hookup, anyway I tap the bolt that goes to the oil filter lines, and hook up auto meter gauge, This pass tesuday in NJ (1-8-08) temp was mid 60's, so I curious to see what the R1 oil coolers does, I start up thr car let run for 1 hr in the garage oil temp climb to 200, take the car out for spin on highway and cruise around 40 mph (MODERATE TRAFFIC) and I saw it drop to 180, continued to drive to nice highway so I can open it to 130 a couple of times and still read 180, after taht I cruise at 80 and hit the need stay at 160, now I have those rearview mirror that tell u outside temp, and my sensor is right infront of the left side oil cooler, and at all times I have 54 degree reading. So end result the R1 oil coolers is worth it. I will continued to monitor more when the temp rise in NJ I will post more result.
