Exactly. Imagine this piece of aluminum is the cooler. Still have to work everything out but thats the basic idea.

9919ffkerl- 10 AN to 18mm 1.5 adapter x 2 I used both a 150 towards the center of the car and a 120 towards the outer but that was just my preference. I did not test if 180's would work because I didn't want the hose so close to the cooler. I will be rediong mine later on with all black fittings and braided nylon hose (hate SS braided). I will be black and blue (no red) but i'm going for a sleeper look. I like Earls the best for easy fitment but will be going with Russell next time around. I don't like Aeroqip (will sell those). click for adapter brand choices |
Well i am also starting my new oil cooler setup, but i have a big hole that i have to fill with a oil cooler.
I will be using the Extra Wide Earl 10AN (81910ERL) 169.39 X 2 =338.78 Earls Oil Thermostat (501ERL) 93.99 Earls Steel Line 10AN 20Ft (EAR-320010ERL) 137.95 < Is 20ft to much? 10 Misc 10AN Fitting $XX.XX Dont have a total yet, around 100.00 2 Metric Adapters (FCM2245) 8.82 x 2 =17.64 Ruff Total 688.36 And this isnt even a drop in the bucket, i just bought a 1300 dollar rebuild kit, New front mount intercooler to fill my other monster hole. New Electric Water pump, Greddy Rear Diff sump, 1300cc injectos x 2, Now i am in the need of tires and rims O shit i dont think anyone is getting christmas gifts from me :balls: http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1...h_IMG_0350.jpg http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1...h_IMG_0349.jpg http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1...h_IMG_0347.jpg :) |
25 row fitment

I have a 93 touring, and am planning a double cooler setup. The front bumper is stock ( no bumper reinforcement however, as it has a FMIC) AutoX on hot days really needs more oil cooling. |

I have not yet taken the bumper off, just looking below the headlights. So, do the lights need to be removed to fit a 25 row cooler? |

could someone touch on the topic of adding a oil temp/press guage to a dual oil cooler setup?
someone mentioned the earl's t-stat provides for that but i can't find that one, besides rynberg doesn't like it. also, does anyone have an answer to the hose question regarding how much you need? |

1. Using an aftermarket pedestal 2. Drilling and tapping the banjo bolt |
I recommend using an aftermarket pedestal (I have the Greddy). Even though it makes changing the filter a PITA, it makes for a good and clean sensor install
I do NOT recommend drilling and tapping the banjo bolt. It may work with some sensors, but it does not work the Defi sensor (and probably others as well). |
Can you add both sensors there?
also, source for said pedestal? tried rx7store, rx7.com, pettit, gotham... |
The ReSpeed replacement has two spots for aftermarket sensors (which is what I'm using):
ReSpeed Pedestal However, it looks like they are out of stock at the moment. |
Thanks, i bookmarked it and will just have to check back periodically.
are the 1/8 npt ports compatible with the hardware most gauges include? or do you need an adapter from HDR? |

Comparison tests of Mocal vs. Earl's? High failure rate? |

^^^ That is one thick oil cooler
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...3/f9b479d9.jpg Random question: do you really need AN wrenches? Or are there really close metric equivalents? also, did anyone see the mocal lightweight hose? $14/ft! Compared to the aeroquip stainless braided hose for $6/ft. |

I was surprised the AN wrenches from aeroquip didn't close up another side, like a pipe wrench. I have 4 or 5 metric size pipe wrenches, about what is AN10 similar to mm wise?
Just looking back over this thread I have to offer a well deserved thanks to everyone who pitched in with useful info. This is great, i hope to have pics and experiences to add to it in the next month or so. |

Unless you have dealt with creating AN lines before, I would recommend going with something else as they can be a pain. |
I was looking at the socketless hoses, it sounds sweet. Just push it on to a barbed fitting? No clamp even. Good for 250psi supposedly. sounds almost too good.

Which is why I'm asking. :) |
I don't consider 200 psi adequate in an oil line with these cars.
AN are English units, guys. I do recommend purchasing AN wrenches, but you can get by with english wrenches, as long as you don't overtorque the fittings (VERY important!). AN-10 is 1". http://www.racerpartswholesale.com/anwrench.htm |

Lightweight Maximum Operating Pressure - 250 psi, over 300F I think 227% of working pressure will be fine...just no bling factor |
