Show ur oil cooler setup?!!!

[tEknoS13]

hey everyone im getting ready to install an oil cooler in my 240. its a 93' chuki with an sr so i also got a FMIC meaning i gotta make space for the oil cooler. im basically looking for ideas, pictures of ur setups for whe i do mine even though i got a pretty good idea of how to. Put up some pics

[Ilvemynissan]

I'm looking at this too, i'm curious to see what other people have.

I cool my oil in the fridge before I put it in the car.

[Razi]

LOL. I drop a few ice cubes into my engine before I go on a trip.

[tEknoS13]

not whati was expecting but i like

[keith0486]

take a look at teddy's he had a nice set up lol

[240lookis]

take a look at teddy's he had a nice set up lol

haha, ya i remember that.

[tEknoS13]

i got my hands on this but im not sure if its good enough its rather small. let me know what u think.





it also sucks because its for push in hoses instead of being threaded.

[tEknoS13]

oh size is 11''x8"x3/4 ^^. also i got a redtop sr with few mods. this car will be a daily driver for the most part but i tend to drive like an idiot so u get the idea. and i might plan to take it to the track once in a moon

[tramp_drift240]

for a chuki bumper? i say mount it behind one of the blinkers, since theres the opening underneath each one.

itll get its own little flow of air for best oil cooling without obstructing the FMIC.

[tEknoS13]

well thats where i was planning on putting it in the first place but what do u think about the size of it?

[snake240]

if you have no a/c, take condenser out. then tons of airflow for it.

[tramp_drift240]

well thats where i was planning on putting it in the first place but what do u think about the size of it?

well im sure youll have to reposition some stuff behind the bumper, but you should be able to squeeze it in there.

pop off your bumper and see what you can work out.

[tEknoS13]

ur right kid my ac system was removed and so was the condeser. only thing i got is IC and mitshimoto radiator

[tramp_drift240]

Mishimoto makes a good radiator, ive got one. good stuff, i think.

i say take the bumper off, test fitting the cooler in different locations, then just run the lines after you find where itll fit best.

[tEknoS13]

true it looks sex, and a little cheaper over Koyo. do u know anything about their fans?

[safin]

their fans are good too



under one of those, is pretty much the only place

[tEknoS13]

good. yea most likely i will stuff it somewhere by the passanger side duct. anyway how bout some1 else put up some pics of their setups!!

[Nacho_240]

^^^ we're you planning on using a thermoswitch. It allows the oil to bypass the oil cooler during start up and then opens up when it gets hot. I've been looking into setting up an oil cooler myself but don't know where to get that switch. Any ideas?

[silpena]

rx7 oil coolers has a internal thermostat that opens up at a certain temp. I forgot what temp though.

I believe it opens at 145 degrees F. I remember it being kinda low.

[Nacho_240]

So does the rx7 oil cooler have 2 passage ways? One from inlet to outlet end tanks and one that goes through the cooler. If that's the case, I'll be going that route.

[silpena]

no i think just one. I think the lower pass way is the thermo stat. I think it just opens once the oil gets hot then go to your block after wards. So both hoses will be almost the same length. IF u mount it to the farest on the passenger side front bumper then you might not need more than 2-3 feet of plumbing.

heres a of rx7 cooler i have lying around to get the idea.

^^^ Nice set up!

Does your kit come with a thermostat?Or is it in the picture and I just dont see it

[mattblancarte]

Air goes here



Cools down oil here



Oil goes into motor here

[Nacho_240]

^^^ That is an amazing setup. BTW, You're car looks very similar to broadfield's. Both are beautiful.

Ancient how to I creaated:http://people.tamu.edu/~rico05/Tech/Oil_Cooler.pdf

Very detailed and helpful right up. So let me get this straight, if I add this thermostat:

I'll just need about another foot of ss braided line, 2 more fitting, but wouldn't need the block adapter plate (TRD-1013) right? I'll probably be going that route now.

Maximum air flow.

Maximum air flow.
