I used an empty tea bag / tea pouch with strings(non paper base). I wrapped it over the mouth of jar then pour coolant into fill funnel when refill. I've seen people using coffee filter & shop towel as well.

I installed the setup per original write up (I think) and I’m noticing zero difference and looking at what I’ve done, it makes no sense either. It’s essentially running in parallel to the heater core return line?

Somebody correct me if I’m understanding this wrong.

EDIT: Nevermind, oil this oil cooler makes such a small difference you won’t be able to see it without data logging. Source, this thread: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=93127

Also, Vibrant Performance 11417 works well for the M14x1.5 to hose barb fitting.

Options for the barb fitting without using adapters:

What is the consensus on throttle body routing vs parallel to the heater core routing?

Guessing I dont need the adapter fitting if the throttle body routing is used. Throttle body routing looks a lot simpler and looking at the link on page 40 it works well.

Looking through the pictures on this thread, it looks like there are two ways that the Forester water pipe is being positioned. Just wondering which one is the correct way?

Fitment A or Fitment B?

I'm using the first one with the washer and I recommend using a washer or it will leak as this was not my first or I used and had a leak and replace it. As far as the oil cooler goes I'm using the same exact oil cooler / heat exchanger. I only use the car around town so it works perfectly but I'm not sure how would hold up on the track. Plus side about this heat exchanger oil cooler is the oil temperatures does rise much quicker if you're running a turbo.

Fitment A is how mine looks.

It appears both offer washers. Was gonna pick up one of these two.

If anyone doesn’t want their old coolant pipe then hit me up. I’m doing a project and could use the pipe. It saves me a trip to the junk yard.

So what was this project?

Old news. I got the pipes from a pick n pull. Check my build. I will be routing my supercharger coolant lines different than what the kit calls for.

So, is the Ned oil cooler kit the same thing..As the Forester XT part # 21317AA070 and #21311AA170?

Yes. But the NED is only those two parts, plus some hosing for the throttle body route.

Ho guys, I would like to mount this system in my car and would like to know if this fitting is correct! it's made of steel, and I think it's better than aluminum. confirm?
