Removing Stock Oil Cooler/warmer Thingy On Rb25

[soturi]

Im trying to figure out 100% of what is involved in this....what are the downsides, besides warming up i presume? i want to get rid of that whole tangle of pipes...im positive i have seen it done on here somewhere but i cannot remember where...

Can anyone list exactly what is involved...once it is removed...(old piping etc)

Im going to run a remote filter relocation kit + aftermarket oil cooler...so i would like to run a plate straight off the block ---> filter ---> cooler.

(i hope this makes sense :>)

Cheers

done this just last weekend.

you just unbolt the hoses, undo the 4 bolts around the mount (helps to have the oil filter off) once all the bolts are out gently tap the mount off.

once its off you will need to take off the oil pressure sender cause the rb20 mount doesnt have spot for it but about 5-10cms back and slight up from the oil filter is a 1/8 bung in the block thats tapped into the oil gallery thats where you put your sender. there is a casting close to the hole thats where the adapter is needed to space it off.

i didnt have heater hoses hooked up due to custom plenum, after market cooler and relocation kit but you just add a joiner in to loop the two hoses together.

Parts needed,

Rb20 stock oil filter mount

Nissan 4 bolt gasket that joins the block to housing

Inner o-ring on the inside of mount.

A joiner to join the two water hoses together.

A adapter for the oil pressure switch size 1/8 x 1/8 x 1 1/2 or enzed p/n A72-020224

Thread tape

Oil to top it up (best to do job when servicing anyway)
