Billy,
I had planned to use straight Aeroquip fittings off the Mocal plate directed to the front of the car...approx 90 deg from the "bottom" position but found this was just not possible due to other engine componets/sway bar. You can play with it but I think you too will find it not to be an option. Good luck |
Just ordered everything to put this cooler together. Thanks Mod.
I hope building the lines won't be a problem. I don't see how it could be that hard but that means it'll end up taking 3x longer than it should. |
I just ordered everything, except the Sandwich plate it back ordered. hopefully I'll get it before the end of June cuz I wanna track with an oil cooler. Thanks Modshack for the helpful info though.

Oil cooler
Thanks Modshack just finished mind but went to Jegs and bought a oil cooler kit rated for 300+hp for $230.00. Ran my lines with the other cooler lines so.. I went above the sway bar out the side the drilled those two holes went behind the other silver colored cooler in front with my lines to the new oil cooler will post pics tomorrow. My kit had me use silver clamps at the fittings

A couple of parts are on back order from RPW. Evidently they have been delayed because of the volcano.

So I bought the parts for my oil cooler from Jegs (800 line ) then went to the store and picked up everything OK install went great (routed my lines a little differently followed other cooler lines)meaning went off the sandwich then up and over the frame keeping lines free ..wanted to stay above sway bar ..anyhow put the filter on and started up the car and oil everywhere turns out the kit from Jegs requires a 3 1/4 di. filter with a 20mm thread! stock is 3 1/8!. All works fine now and larger filter more oil cooler engine Thanks Mod shack

Update of oil cooler install
What lenghts of hose did you end up with. How was the routing no critical bends? How many anti chaffing clamps did you use if you did, no tie wraps I hope?
TRU-COOL L7B 24 row #10 stainless covered teflon hose 10' long # 10 stainless parker hanifin crimp fittings mocal sandwich plate 180 deg 1/2 npt to #10 an 90 for cooler 1/2 npt to #10 an straight for mocal sandwich plate, if I need 90's I will change out. redline oil which I am already running, I may lose a little when I change out filter. Well I finally did the oil cooler yesterday. Went pretty easy. I am sorry that I did not take any pictures. I was too darn hot from the S Florida Sun. I used parker hanifin crimped fittings wth stainless braide hose. The route that I took was to knock out one of plastic molded squares on the bottom passenger side, radiator mount ? Some of them are full squares about 2" by 2" by 2", the one that I knocked out was only 1/4" thick just above the transmission cooler lines. This made for a good routing. Up over the aluminum frame straight down to the mocal plate with 90 deg fittings. Used the transmission cooler brackets to install hose clamps one for each line. Today I got the Hotchkis sway bars on while I had the front splash quard off. Installed in the second hole and see how it handles there. Ran it pretty hard on some farm back roads. Temp got to 210 and stayed there and I was at a buck and just over, stopping and getting on it for a while. With out the cooler I know that I would have been at 250+. Looks like a winner to me.

Sorry for not having any pix but I will take some next time I pull the nose off...
I just finished my cooler install. I went with a 34 row Setrab, 210 degree Mocal sandwich plate and Aeroquip reusable fittings. I spec'ed the large cooler to combat the lack of cooling here in Colorado due to thin air, low humidiity and high temps. I spec'ed the 210 degree plate so the oil temps woud get high enough to boil off any moisture in the system. I used Modshack's hose routing scheme except I accessed the cooler from the top. A few interesting notes:

Temp before the install was running 210-230 on the street. Temp now will hit 210 in about 15 minutes and hold steady. Overcooling isn't an issue so far with morning ambient in the low 50's.
It will be in the 90's this weekend at High Plains Raceway. I look forward to seeing how well the cooler works. Quote:

Update:
Temp at the track Saturday hit the upper 80's. Oil temps reached 240 max. Heading to the track in the AM, air temp was low 50's. Oil temp reached 170 and held when I was cruising hwy in 6th gear @80 mph. I would probably need to partially cover the cooler in the winter but I store the car when the snow hits. Quote:

Hi Modshack, I was going over your DIY and decided to do it myself but I just now noticed that your fotki album is PW protected. Can you post/PM the PW or make it public? I recall a lot of useful pictures there. Thanks.
