Suggestion for oil cooler?

Hey guys, I'm trying to pick up an oil cooler kit asap. Any suggestions?

There used to be some decent kits on ebay that I read about on this forum, but they aren't for sale anymore. The ones for sale now seem to be more generic materials, not sure if I can trust those hoses/crimps. Has anyone purchased one from ebay lately?

The main things I need are that it will fit with the aps intercooler and I need the sandwich plate to have 2x,1/8 npt ports for oil temp and pressure sensors.

Thanks in advance!
Aaron

I don't know of any oil cooler sandwich adapters that also have 1/8" NPT ports for pressure and temp. Of course, you could always drill and tap the side of one of the other sandwich plates for your sensors.

glowshift has sandwich plates with 2x 3/8" npt and 2x1/8" npt. its not thermostatically controlled though, but that would only be an issue taking longer for oil to get to operating temp.

its cheapest just to piece together AN fittings and find an Earls cooler that fits where you want to mount it.

that one isn't designed to send the oil out to an oil cooler.

Lol~ Yeah, that sandwich plate just does oil pressure and/ or temp, which is what the OP asked for.

The only way is the Glowshift Sandwich Adapter as str8dum1 posted above, but if i were you i`ll check first what is the thread on the sensors, the Defis uses the BTPT so you need a male BTPT to a Female NPT Adapter.

P.S: this is the one http://www.glowshiftdirect.com/index...ROD&ProdID=270

What about this setup from Ebay. Need to get an oil cooler in before I start tracking the car.

Just check out the write-up on 350Z Tech's site - provides a part list and a link to a thermostatically controlled sandwich plate.

I pieced mine together. Wasn't very difficult.
Here is the list of all my cooling parts. I found the fittings/adapaters/hoses locally at a race shop. Next up is a greddy sandwhich adapter so I can hook in the oil temp sensor.
