WRRR Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 had a quick look tonight and that spot actually is looking better an better Ronin assume u used the bolt holes for the power steering lines,Had wanted to tuck mine up near the drivers side engine mount but I dunno if I am going to manage to fit it in their though its tight!! Don't give up it does fit there. I just mounted mine up there using a fabbed plate mount bolted thought one of the empty bolt holes on the engine side of the mount. I made the plate up to follow the engine mount to chassis join so it couldn't rotate with an angled piece out into the gap between diff and mount to take the filter unit. Filter sits base down so oil doesn't pour everywhere when changing and its tucked ou of the way. Just pay attention to the angle of the line coming from the original filter position. You will find you need to make the mount at a strange angle (ie not 90 degrees) to ensure the line clears the engine mount. From the filter to the cooler (thermostat) I used a 90 degree fitting to allow the line to go forward and across the cross member to the LHS. I can grab some pics on the weekend if you like as the car will likely be up on stands again so I can finish off the ducting to the cooler in the LHS wheel well.

Ronin 09 Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 yeah they do fit where WRRR said but i like it beneath because when i do an oil change I don't throw oil all over the inner guard in the engine bay when taking off the oil filter Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/164522-where-to-mount-an-oil-cooler/page/4/#findComment-3125271 Share on other sites More sharing options...
noone Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 WRRR would love to see some pics, though I think I follow what your saying? Some pics of your ducting idea's would be good to as I will be needing to do similar and am away at work for 5 days so plenty of time to plan the job Ronin I guess yours being mounted lower you would have more chance of getting ALL The old oil out when changing oil too Something I am kinda concerned about hence I dont want to resort to mounting high in the engine bay in front of the strut tower like so many others do, if the relocator is the lowest point in the system much more chance of draining all the old oil out.
