Laminova Oil-Water heat exchanger

ChipsWithDips

I purchased a laminova cooler recently, but haven't quite decided how to arrange this and route all the damn coolant and oil lines. At first I thought I could have it mostly vertical from the lower radiator hose to the engine inlet. But the thing is so long that it would be sticking out of my hood if I did that. Also this was under the assumption that I convert to aftermarket intake so the intake boxes are not in the way.

I guess my current idea is to lay it down along the bottom of the radiator, but then the coolant hose has to do a 180, and come back to the engine, the 180 pipes or silicone couplers are also really wide and have to worry about hitting the fan shrouds and crank pulley, and agh my brain is hurting again thinking about this.

I wish this thing had female NPT threads on the sides (like most other oil coolers and sandwich plate adapters) instead of these AN fittings because you could make it a lot more compact using something like this

rather than this sticking out of opposite sides.


I think I'm actually going to try drilling and tapping these AN flanges to convert them into NPT female fitting. I can maybe take some pics of how huge all this crap is later.
