Oil Cooler

[JiN_MaN]

Will an Rb26 oil cooler and its fittings fit a CA?

How much work would be needed to swap them?

I know this maybe a stuiped question but have come across one at a good price and would like to adapt it to my car.

Thanks

an oil cooler is a an easy thing to modify if needed to

they mostly come in various sizes with the pipe being one of two sizes,

if the standard one is too small get an adaptor barb

in terms of fitting, if the standard mounts dont work then some pieces of strip steel should suffice to attach it somehow

Worst case you will need a different threaded section for the sandwich plate, but i suspect they use the same thread.

You will have no issue with the length of the lines, and the core will likely need some custom brackets made up anyway as mentioned by usherly.

Cheers for your help guys. So you could be any cooler but the worst case is you would need to by a new thread, which wouldn’t be very costly anyway.

From looking at a lot of fitting i think that the sandwich plate is made up of 2 parts, a bolt that can be removed and the plate its self.

Look at the picture below

The bolt and the plate or separated, so I assume that you could do this on most or all of the fitting.

Also can anybody confirm if that is a thermostat in the picture

It might be a thermostat. There is no other reason for it that i can see as it isn't a remote mount setup so it is a fair assumption.

Just remembered that ca and rb use the same oil filter so no thread problems
