hmmm so which adaptor for the cooler? -10an>???

sorry so many fittings in that thread,

 

for the oil coolers you need a 22mmx1.5 to -10AN fitting adapter.

You will need 3 of these if you plan to keep the stock line from the oil pedestal to the oil cooler. If not then you need 4.

you legend, 3 was confusing me and couldnt understand why not 4 haha bit of a blonde moment there. Thanks

 

Just so I dont assume things, The fitting on the oil filter pedastal is identical to the block fitting at m18x1.5 ?

thanks

 

Yes, but finding a banjo adapter is hard. I'm currently looking for one. I think I found it but I'm waiting on confirmation. I'm also tring to find out if I can just get ride of the banjo fitting and put a 18mmx1.5 to -10 AN fitting (just like the front cover) and run a -10 AN line that way.

 

oh sweet,

Thanks for that, is -10an necessary of -8an enough ? obviously in the interest of cost.

thanks

Well on the oil pedestal you can use the same fitting as the front cover. One thing though, if I'm reading that thread up there right, the front cover is a tight fit if you have AC. Apparently the pully gets in the way. So I found a banjo fitting that will work on either side (front cover and oil pedetal). So I plan on using this fitting at least in the front cover.

good find hondas, the price on pegasus has gone up and is now 240 dollars for all the parts that howard has, I'm looking to do what you're doing in the near future myself, but I'm not sure if that 10 feet of hose for Howards right up includes the hose from the oil filter pedestal to the driver's side cooler. I don't think so since, as hondas pointed out, you need an extra fitting that howard doesn't have listed.

 

I'm planning to get 15-20 ft of hose. I price Summit and Pegasus and they both come out about the same. I'm replacing my oil coolers and going with -10 line and external thermostat so I'm looking at about $650.

 

bought everything today, just changing hoses for me, keeping the stock dual coolers.
Only bought 10 ft of hose as in the thread above. hopefully its enough

 

10ft will be enough if you are not changing the line from the oil filter pedestal to the cooler.

 

I do want to do that one, any idea on the lenght (I would check except that my motor is completely disassembled and I'm not sure where that particular piece of pipping is currently at)

 

I would wait till your engine is in so you could have a better idea how long you need your hoses to be.
