hey ppl, i was interested in installing an oil cooler in my Z, but dont really feel like paying over 1G on a brand name one, so i went onto ebay and found a bunch of oil cooler for under 50 bux, are those ok? i can just retrofit it behind my front bumber and use a sandwich adaptor to connect no? and percautions i should be aware of?

 

I wonder can we use the Tranny Cooler model also. Sorry to hijack your dchi_t.

As for other oil cooler, I think it should fit but just a matter of fitting it.

 

oh yea, i forgot to ask, if i use a sandwish adaptor, the stock oil pump should have no problem pumping oil a longer distince into the oil cooler right? im jst tryin to figure out all the aspects b4 i start working on it.

 

it's worth the extra money to get a quality oil cooler with AN or NPT fittings and not the typical hose barb fittings.

There are some nice coolers made by Earl's that I have used in my airplane and they work great. Expect to pay about $130-200 for a good quality oil cooler.

here's where you can get them:

I wouldn't trust a $50 ebay oil cooler.... especially if it's used.
