There is another option other than the FXT return hose for manual transmission cars, and that is the coolant crossover pipe on top of the engine that has a blocking plate that can be replaced with a plate with a fitting from the AT cars so you can run the return line directly to there. It might be cheaper, don't know.
Thanks. Still waiting for someone with an AT to do this. If I do it, would just teeing from the AT cooler line work? Would the AT cooler suffer from this?

I think I understand how the plumbing works now... the picture that CARNZ provided ... you have to remove the water block plug see attached picture from CARNZ and then that goes the inlet of the FXT oil cooler...the outlet of the FXT oil cooler goes into the inlet of the water pipe shown in the second picture and hence the reason why CARNZ used the FXT water bypass pipe and the BRZ didn't have one.

What is the diameter on the heater hose? I'm tempted to just replace it with a longer hose to give it some slack and prevent kinks.

CARNZ 11-04-2013 06:31 PM
It's not that the hose isn't long enough, it's just that with the rear bend it comes close to a support bolted to the firewall. I pushed the hose on a little farther and angled it slightly to the side and it fits like my photo without issues.

I am not quite sure of the diameter, i'll check out the brz water pipe tomorrow since i have it laying around.

Alright, the forester heater pipe there are only two left in the country and the hose that goes from the front pipe to the oil cooler is backordered until the 30th...

CARNZ 11-05-2013 09:57 PM
I guess we are exhausting the supply lol...

If we VOR that front hose it'll come quicker and should only add a few dollars to the cost.

Couple pics of my parts so far:

FYI both pipes on the oil cooler are NOT the same, the return line is smaller.

CARNZ didn't include that bottom pipe but simply used a hose for it... No wonder there is that bulge which looked non-oem in this pic

How does that pipe line up and how will that connect to the FXT pipe? what are the part numbers for that entire circuit from the oil cooler to the FXT pipe?

So I've got a question about step 2 in the installation:

2. Remove the 24mm union that the oil filter screws on to and set the oil cooler in it's place and thread in the oil cooler connector - 21317AA070. Don't tighten it down yet, just hand screw it in.

How exactly do you remove it? Is it just a nut in the middle that holds the assembly down? What tools are needed?

Got the V/C pipe too, cool. Let me know how it fits, I was a little unsure about that when I bought everything and left it out.

The 24mm union is just like a bolt. Use a 24mm deep socket and you can remove it and install the oil cooler union bolt(the long one).

CARNZ 11-07-2013 10:21 AM
21317aa070 is needed no matter what since its what bolts the oil cooler to the engine

@CARNZ

What parts did you replace with that bulging hose?

I've got a question, you mention some coolant will come out when the plug is removed. How much are we talking about? Gallon? Half a gallon? Niagara Falls? Needing two gallons of new coolant leads me to believe it could be a fair bit.
