Just want everyone to know that it is more expensive to buy these kits bit by bit when racerpartswholesale.com sells the kit with all those pieces listed at around 40 bucks cheaper.
Here's the link www.racerpartswholesale.com - Oil Cooler Kits It's 249.95 for the complete kit. Even less if you opt out for the thermostatic sandwich plate. |

FYI - The "MOC-SP1FT Mocal Sandwich Plate- 20mm Thread" has a 1" nut and requires a deep socket (depth is 1 1/8" or greater) but a Outer diameter of 1.41" is too large (i.e. thick walled impact socket), but 1.33" OD will work. Not sure the maximum OD other than it's between those values.
You can fit an adjustable wrench in but it's easier to install with a socket. Pulled it out here recently to swap out the Aeroquip socketless hose after a friends setup blew off the line and mine was uncomfortably pulling away (~2mm gap). BTW he had plenty of slack and had daily driven the car for a month, but it didn't pop off till a track day. |
From the beginning of the oil line problems with the oil cooler I immediatelly advocated crimped fittings so that there would never be a problem. Have been running oil cooler for over a year now and no problems. For $7.50 a fitting it was a no brainer for me.

Would there be a difference between using -8 lines instead of -10? I installed everything in the DIY except that I used smaller lines. In 105 degree F heat, it averaged a little below 220. Does that sound right? It never went over that while I was pushing it a little bit here and there.
New update: I think it is fine. I have been cruising around and the temparture is at 190 in 105 F degree weather. |

Can anyone tell me what size the fitting is coming out of the sandwhich plate? I know the hose end is 10an obviously but what is the other side. I think the used setup I bought has the wrong size because it doesn't thread in very far... I'm pretty sure that isn't normal. I'll have to order new ones.

The Mocal sandwich plate uses BSP fittings, someone may have attempted to use an NPT fitting which will work but will get hung up halfway in. If it isn't leaking I would be tempted to leave it.
The fitting you likely need is 1/2" BSP to -10 AN. There is also a high-flow version of the sandwich plate that uses 22mm fittings but I haven't seen anyone use that one yet. Of course this is assuming that it is a Mocal. |
Yes it is... I'm not very comfortable and I am thinking it is NPT not BSP because it is blue (not typical for mocal fittings) and barely fits in. Doesn't go far enough that I would feel comfortable. Guess I'll be parking the Z for the weekend.

Matt,
The fitting you need is a MOC-BM810A. These are sold as a pair MOC-2BM810A. They are in stock at Racer Part Wholesale. Racer Parts Wholesale - Racing Parts, Safety Equipment & Motorcycle Accessories Here is a direct link: - Mocal 1/2 BSP x -10 fitting Thanks, Jack Borsos RPW |
Thanks jborsos I actually ordered it today before I even saw your post. You work there right? You should have an order for me.
|
Yes, I'm the General Manager at RPW. I'm not in the office this morning but if you've placed the order I'm sure it has been processed.
Thank you for the order. Jack |
Yep should be delivered today! Great service (sight unseen of course) and prices.

Is there any specified torque range for torquing the fittings to the mocal adapter? Or the adapter to the engine? I got my parts from B.A.T. fittings in florida, who work in line with mocal. Just curious if anyone knows any more of the specs.
+1 matt witht he clear hose idea for insulation/noise reduction on the hoses. Man that is a cheap/dope idea, definitely goin to do that instead of heat shrink. :D |
mattp725 - The setup has held up for almost a year now with no issues and no worries hitting a fitting on our crappy Texas roads. If you have not already finished your install I highly recommend this setup.
