Hi all,

thinking about buying one of these for an oil cooler set up. i like the built in thermostat and i really dont want to fit a relocator.

the hicas is removed so there is more room.

does anyone here have it fitted to there bnr32? to me it looks like there isnt enough room. am i wrong?

Pictures and information in my build thread on page 6. NO CLUE about factory manifold and such, but I'm sure it's possible. I had mine in several different arrangements starting with your idea, and then moving to the final idea of relocating the oil filter as well... Note where my temp pickup is located, this is on the RETURN side from the oil cooler so that you know what the temp of the oil is going into the engine.

Need to remove standard oil cooler

The heat exchanger? You don't. I've fitted a few of these now to 32, 33 and 34 and they all fit. They're a little annoying because where the cooler hose comes from is very close to the engine mount, I'm talking 1cm close. It can be done and they're actually a great piece of kit that after fitting 10+ of them I put one on mine as well.

Well there you go

Also the two additional fittings they send are blanked. They also sell some that are tapped 1/8 but this is NOT NPT, it's PT (Japanese). I drilled and tapped my blank ones for my temp and pressure sensor pickups.

was thinking that.

i noticed the coolers with the -10 outlets are considerable cheaper than the -12 ones.

im thinking most people buy the -10 ones?

in my mind im thinking bigger is better, no?

what are peoples thoughts on buying a oil cooler with -10 outlets and buying a -10 to -12 hose end?

Also interested in reasoning of -10 vs -12

I would have thought you may see a pressure drop?

In the process of fitting my oil cooler setup without relocation. Extra parts required on top of kit was

Trust/greedy sensor adapter to fit factory oil pressure sender. The oil temp sensor won't fit unless you get an adapter to step up. I am going to be running aftermarket oil temp/pressure gauge which will come with correct sensor fitting 1/8 npt if I'm not mistaken.

I have not fitted a relief valve to my N1 block but will be running a filter that runs one.

I have chosen to remove the heat exchanger but this is not a must. Clears up a lot of space which I like. Obviously the factory coolant lines that feed heat exchanger will need to be bunged if going down this path.

1) I don't think the hole from the block that sends oil is 1/2" in diameter but it's been a while since I looked at it. -10AN is approximately .5" in diameter and is AMPLE (IMO) for the oil flow in most engines unless you are running something crazy I don't know about.

2) The Greddy kit fittings are -10AN fittings. I'd assume they would send -12AN if it were required for our engines.

looks great. from the replies in this thread i have decided to keep the factory heat exchanger so i dont see why i would need the additional sensor adapter. i was however under the impression that the sandwhich plate came with a stud. ill have to check what i have bought.

after all that i bought i the -12 version. ill be going -12 everything.

I am wondering what the oil flow is if you have the factory exchanger in place. I have mine laying around and may want to see what the flow is doing before you decide to leave it. If it's first in line the temp reading won't be what's actually going back into the engine and if it's last in line the work from your external cooler would be undone from the exchanger reheating it.

Just a thought. Oil flows out from the block on the outside of the oil boss and back into the engine through the center bolt FYI.
