Upgrading oil cooler ?

Upgrading oil cooler ?
I am going to upgrade to a 25 row oil cooler. I have two questions. Is it necessary to run a thermostat in the line when using one single cooler? I was under the impression it's only necessary if you run a second cooler.
Other question, What size fittings thread back into the oil pedistal and front plate? Is it 8 or 10 AN?
Thanks to anyone who can advise.

I have an Earls 34 row, and I use -10 fittings. YOu can get the oil line adapter from Chuck at RE - but you can find them 1/2 the price if you call around. I used a thermostat inline for my single oil cooler.
The oil cooler is going to have different size -AN fittings, just check with whoever you get it from and buy the required fittings.

As the others have pointed out you are going to want a thermostat and the fitting size is -10 AN.

Well, no those have AN fittings also according to this site.. http://www.racerpartswholesale.com/cooler.htm
Glass Man, why then would a Mocal cooler not need the adaptor fitting?

On the plus side (I've heard) that the Earl's thermostat has a NPT ports for pressure and temperature gauges.

Here's the Mocal oil thermostat that is commonly used:

That Earl's one looks nice, too, but since it has female AN port connections, you would need four extra fittings (male/male AN flare to AN port fitting + o-rings, times 4, since you need one for each port) to connect it to your lines.

on a side note, what makes the earl's and mocal oil coolers better than say b&m oil coolers? i know about the pressure differance but its not that much better than b&m's. also from experience its the lines that leak not the cooler. any info would be great. thanks

I'd be curious to know what the total cost comes to for the kit when all is said and done. Also, before and after oil temps as well. That's one gauge I don't have, so after I install my dual 19 row mocals I won't notice a benefit on the water temp reading until I hit the road course.

How are the lines laid out when using dual coolers?
Can you just run the return line from the first cooler to the inlet of the second, then run the return line from the second to the block?
This seems like the easiest way, since the thermostat on the first cooler will regulate temp.

Hey guys I wanted to upgrade my oil cooler. I am running 15 lbs and about 410 wrh, its a daily driver, but I wanted to do some cooling mods. Should i go with the 32 row single cooler or the duel 25 row coolers. Refering to the Earl coolers.
thanks for the help

While I agree with Mahjik's statement in general, at your power levels, you might want to get an oil temp gauge. If you are seeing excessively high temps just boosting around, you may want to consider an upgrade.
