Custom oil cooler or NOT????

Post by **caliracer240** » Mon May 31, 2004 12:51 pm

Ok so i was looking up a 1992 Nissan Sentra 2.0l online and found a sandwich adaptor for the oil filter so you can add a cooler. SInce the filter is the same as my SR... wouldnt the adaptor work also????

Adaptor is like $11 and i can get an universal oil cooler for like $100 through a friend. ALOT CHEAPER then the damn kits for the SR... any criticism or positive feedback is welcome.... thanx.

Thats what i did for my car. I got a B&M oil cooler kit for imports. I also used braided steel lines. It cost about $150. It has been on there for a couple of months.

Search freshalloy, there was an AWESOME (recent too) post about custom oil cooler kits down to the AN fittings.

Make sure to put an inline thermostat in the line from the sender to the cooler. Especially if you use your car as a daily driver all the time.

Cold oil can be a very bad thing.

The B&M oil cooler adapter that i got had a built in thermostat.It just shuts off oil flow to the cooler until it reaches the right temp.

You can put on a universal cooler and some stainless steel lines on there and it will cool just as good and save a lot of cash. You would spend about $70.00
