Thermostatic Sandwich Plate Question

Mitco39

Right but what I am wondering is I have 2 lines coming out from my relocation plate right. Oil is only going to flow in one direction around this circuit. If I had 2 lines running from my relocation plate to my oil filter then sure I would agree that it could be put anywhere.

I must be missing something, lol.

Let me make sure I have you current setup right. You have a relocation plate on the engine (where the oil filter used to go) with two lines. One line is connected to the remote filter plate and the other line goes to the outlet of the cooler. At the remote plate, there's the line from the reloc and the other line goes to the cooler inlet.
Oil comes out of engine, into reloc plate, then on to the filter. From there the oil goes through the cooler and back to the reloc late. Did I get that right?

What I would suggest is stacking the thermoplate and reloc plate at the engine. Run the cooler lines to the thermoplate. Run the lines coming out of the reloc plate to the remote plate (just as if there was no cooler).
Or you could stack the thermo to the remote plate. Either way, you'll have to repipe the cooler.

That sir is correct. I dont have room to stack both the thermo plate and the reloc plate on the engine, my intercooler piping runs right up against that reloc plate as it is. So the only way this can work is if I can stack it on the remote plate.

Thanks for your help!
