Bit of a mad max look but would definitely be cooler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'll look into mounting both on either side of the trans tunnel, if there's room. Slightly off topic, but, engine oil cooler running off an oil filter adapter and an inline thermostat - any recommendations? Or will an eBay one be ok?

Bulletime Donating Members 937 Member For: 13y 3m 17d Gender: Male Posted 24/07/19 12:27 PM Share Posted 24/07/19 12:27 PM My tuna put in a setrab one but it’s too small and doesn’t have a fan. I’m a fan of derale coolers, I have a 25 row hypercooler in for the transmission with a pretty thick core and it’s awesome, I also have a pwr heat exchanger in line (did this years ago to avoid the milkshake) and I live in Canberra so want it getting up to temp https://derale.com/products/fluid-coolers/universal/remote-mount2013-10-28-09-53-271073910258/13-row-plate-fin-engine-oil-cooler-kit-with-spin-on-adapter-detail. They now have a racing line and it’s even thicker, it’ll be a tight squeeze but I’ll be upgrading to this soon with a thermostatic fluid control to only let it go through the cooler once it’s up to temp and fan also thermostatically controlled. https://derale.com/product-footer/fluid-coolers/engine/remote-mount/65860-detail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking of this style adapter: https://derale.com/product-footer/filtration/engine2013-10-28-09-53-27459934969/sandwich-adapters/standard-engine-spin-on-adapter-with-1-2-npt-ports-22x1-5mm-filter-thread-detail I like it as it has a built in thermostat to allow faster heating up of the oil and better temp control when it's at lower temps? And for the cooler I'm looking at this one. Seems to be much of the same same: https://www.aeroflowperformance.com/af72-6000-13-5-x-9-comp-trans-cooler Should do the job?

Sandwich plate I posted has thermostat. The fan and cooler you posted is larger. I would stick with B&M. Quality will be superior 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cat007 Member 234 Member For: 5y 7m 21d Posted 01/08/19 12:28 PM Share Posted 01/08/19 12:28 PM It doesn't have a bypass thermostat. It has a fan controller thermostat.The one I posted has a bypass thermostat which allows the oil to bypass the cooler to heat the oil faster.

The bypass is in the sandwich plate both items posted have the bypass at 82C (180F). The coolers have a built in electrical thermostat (bi-metal switch) that can switch the fan on at 80c. Both setups you posted and I posted are nearly identical. Your cooler and fan are bigger.. Dont forget to rubber mount it...
