View Full Version : Oil cooler...
Now how much can these be picked up for? and how much longer does it take to warm up after its been fitted? i as because i was sitting at 145/150 for a while(about 20 miles) last night and oil temp reached 130ish degrees. now to me this is far too hot, and i did leave her idling for about 10 minutes afterwards to let her cool down a little.
any advice appreciated!

You can get everything you need for about £100 - radiator, pipes, take off plate, etc. Probably cheaper if you source everything carefully.
depends on which way you buy. more money for a complete kit but easier than sourcing all the parts. should get one with a thermostatic take off plate which only cool,s the oil when it,s already reached a predetermined temp.

i got the take off plate for £13 from think automotive... the fittings are size m20 thread, and 1/2' british standard pipe size,...pipe is very cheap, aeroquip..
the thermo plate is a good option, and will prevent you over cooling the oil... i will be running a 13 row cooler which retail for £30 on ebay,not mocal..
so i'll have the full set up for £50 ish
you have the option for braided lines etc...
if you go the poor mans route like me, then fit a 10 row cooler for n/a engine and 13 row if its turbo'd... then you dont have to worry about over cooling.
