i want a second car

 

ya, sorry i didnt refer to that, but ya, my thoughts are based on the fact that he has a daily......

yeah, the car is not drivable in cold weather anyways. no fun cause the lack of traction.

 

I was basically agreeing with you. My post was aimed at bigc.

 

im leaning towards the GTM competition oil cooling kit. it just seems like the most efficiently designed setup. its clean and very functional. price is a bit steep but ill pay for good money for a well designed product.

 

They're all the same. I got the GTM HD kit for track use because it came with a nice bracket and lines precut. Its not much cheaper to build an equivelent kit. It works nicely. My only issue with it is the pressures run high since the piping is too small.

 

People..you are aware many of these pre-fabbed kits use Setrab or Mocal coolers, Aeroquip braided hose & other name brands!!! Might as well get individual pieces; at least you can customize to your needs.

Most cooler kits include:

Oil Cooler unit ( Mocal, Setrab etc)
Oil sandwitch adapter
Stainless Steel Braided hose
An fittings
Mounting brackets & bolts

 

I agree, but some people don't want the hassle of assembling lines and whatnot. They pay extra for someone else to do it for them

I am piecing together my oil cooler kit, thanks for the advice guys... I am gonna find the pieces then post them here soo everyone that has doen it before can tell me if I am missing anything or need something else.

what AN fittings will be needed?? I will prob just get these at a local speed shop as it will prob be easier.


Anything else I am missing??

Thanks for all the advice guy's!!!

 

-10 may be a little overkill. The GTM comp cooler kit uses -8 lines, and works great.

 

ok il double check with my installer and double check with him if I dont then great

some of the guys said previously the -8 couldnt handle enough flow though?? maybe its a restriction??

 

i used -10 AN lines and fittings. you'll need two 90 degree AN fittings at the sandwich plate and two -10AN fittings at the cooler (angles will depend on how you mount the cooler). looks like you already have the 2 bsp to AN adapters so you should be set.

i found this thread to be very helpful when I put together my oil cooler:

cool thanks!!! I will be having frank at hills garage doing the install but Ihave no problem saving 100 dollars or a little more to just do the work to get all the pieces

 

soo I just tallied up the parts and they are 20 bucks less then buying the GTM kit since it is currently only 380 soo I may just buy the kit after all...

 

+1 on the -10 AN, it should be fine. I'm using it and the pressures at the proper weight oil is spot on for my setup.

You can get a B&M 500hp kit at Jegs for 149.99. All you need is the sandwich plate and fittings.

 

Question how do I know what sandwich plate is right/best??
