Oil coolers?

[TurboJ]

Here's a link that shows a thermostat-equipped sandwhich plate:

You just put it where the water/oil thingy originally was.

aw i wish that wasn't 100 bucks
maybe i could find one at a scrap yard! there are tons of wrecked ricers there! but none that would mount a filter that large though?
or is that sandwich thing pretty universal?

Saab Turbo cars have Engine oil coolers with those thermostatic plates.

I got mine from a PnP for like $25.00.

You need to eliminate the factory one and get a sandwich adapter to get the fittings needed to run to the cooler.

You can NOT pull it from the head or even from the oil filter mount (top).

It needs to come from between the filter and the mount.

Is it hard to do?

Duane, my cooler needs a solvent bath. It's filled with oil and who knows what all else. I got it for free. I don't even know if it holds oil.
I think i will need a cooler with my build so ...
But hey, if you throw me an offer. I'll let you know if it leaks or not as soon as i test it. Pm me with an offer for it if it were to work.

smoke ,
if it looks just like that one! i'll give you 20bucks +ship for it?
i have another  one that just uses a rubber hose and hose clamps!
but i want to use my fittings that i have with the sandwich plate and the stainless braided hose i have! we can do a partial trade or something with the one i got?

Turbo Volvos as well... direct bolt-on, comes with nice long hoses, and is usually dirt cheap at PnP... I grab the thermostat plates if nothing else and they usually give me them for free if there is other stuff in the pile they already know the codes for...  :wink:

[Smokey Eddy]

Sorry Duane, for 20$ I'm going to keep it.
I need one anyways.
It was a real fluke that i got it.

I'm not sure what you guys are talkign about with the volvos and saabs i wish my local junk yard had more exotic cars. Its like 90% neons and corolla's.

That really sucks.
how did you accumulate that insane cost in fittings? that's a lot of money.
Again, i don't even know if it holds oil.

I'll get a pic up in a bit here so you can see. It's not exactly that  cooler but very similar

[HarryMann]

..isn't eBay full of them??

PS> Easy to get 'done' on fittings by 'posh' shops... they don't seem to realise 80 psi would be max, not 800bar !!!

[Smokey Eddy]

800 bar!!!!!!
yeah i don't think the fittings need to be that high end. our pumps run at 2bar oil pressure i believe.

[blkboostedtruck]

well i'm sure you heard the term a fool and his money will soon depart!
as i walk in a local speed shop here in town!
retail on them is expensive!
if it leaks and the hole is accessible i can weld it !
but yea i'll look on flea-bay again i never found what i wanted till i seen that pic. of one Eddy posted
Duane

please show me yours Ed!

[HarryMann]

Used unreinforced hoses on mine, cheap, cheerful but limited bend radius before they kink, pump up nicely when the engine starts though, sort of acts like an accumulator  

2bar oil pressure i believe

4 bar about (60 psi) and if pickup by-pass valve jams (not un-common) about 120~140 psi

[Smokey Eddy]

Thank you Mr.Harry Mann for correcting me and that piece of info

please show me yours Ed!

Oh my, what is this turning into Duane?

Sorry for the poor picture i have no room in my garage. I made those tables out of scrap wood and particle board leaving a chair between them and the car for me to stand on to take pictures. The openings are on the "top" in this picture. Look how caked it is! I can only see through it in a few places. There is a minor ding in the bottom causing some mangled fins but it doesn't appear to effect the lowest passageway. The openings for the hoses are as follows : one on the top left of the picture and one out the very end. So it's different than the one i posted in that respect but the outlets are still at the same end. Just 90 degrees from each other.

What about connecting it with a bypass oil filter (of better micron standards) and do away with the stock setup completely?


I know some of the benzes do....



I just dont know about flow ratings/ pressure.
