I needed to use about a Gallon of coolant, maybe a little less. I put 1-2 Gallons for everyone to be on the safe side. That way once you fill it and start it up you have extra to get the air bubbles out and fill your overflow bottle as needed.

I red boxed it a couple of post back.

Can you get the part numbers of the following?

That hose definitely doesnt bulge, it may look like it in the photo though.

If i get a chance today I'll look up the numbers, we are pretty busy though may be tomorrow.

Implementing this water to oil cooler has the great benefits cooler oil, engine & under hood temps aswell as eliminating the risk of a destroyed oil line but would you install it on a DD with occasional spirited fangs considering how hot temps get here in oz during summer ? Excellent & worthwhile write up btw

This added oil cooler will likely reduce high oil temperatures encountered on a race track by 20 F/ 11 C. For an unmodified daily driver, it's of no real benefit.

For a daily driver, the main benefit is bringing the oil up to operating temperatures faster. Its the main reason why all the turbo models have them, but as we have stated it does both this and cool the oil at high temps.

For the low cost IMO this is worth it on a DD.

understand tried to. head hurts muchly.

ZZT86 · 11-08-2013, 09:07 AM

OK. So what would be the typical oil temp for a stock daily drive or is there too much possible variation to call? Lets assume ambient air temp 104F & 50% stop start city & 50% freeway driving, no racing.

The Slow One · 11-08-2013, 11:10 AM

For the Russell M14x1.5 side, did you use a o-ring or a copper washer? I'm getting prepared to install my kit soon.

CARNZ · 11-08-2013, 06:01 PM

I used Teflon tape on the fitting

DR 86 · 11-11-2013, 11:10 PM

Has anyone confirmed this application in an AT? Are the parts required exactly the same? Anyone have pictures from an AT of where that plug is? Thanks in advance!

No, the current instructions are MT only. AT doesn't have a plug because that plug is a pipe that goes to the ATF cooler.
