Morning all

Has anyone here fitted their own oil cooler? Not necessarily one of the brickwerks kit ones.

If you have, what size oil cooler are you running?

Thanks

Chris

Are you talking d****l Chris ? It may help to specify ?

Ahh yes, Apologies. I am talking of the diseasal flavour engine.

The AAZ conversion starts this week, hence why i'm considering the cooler

Thanks Chap, I was more wondering what size oil coolers everyone else has upfront?

Hello,

I used one of these:

which is a 19 row mocal oil cooler.

Vauxhall frontera sport oil cooler rad is a very good fit in the upper grille. Got mine for a tenner at the scrap yard.

Does anyone know what bore pipe to use to make my own kit, and what adapters to fit to oil cooler 1/2"? Brickwerks say they use big bore, question is what is it. As I don`t like the idea of pushfit pipe on it. Thanks for any advice Geoff

I used 1/2 inch on mine, went to a local hydraulics place and they cut the lengths and swayged the ends on for me.

i got a 25 row setrab oil cooler, from the above mentioned think auto, and i used 5/8" pipe with a thermostatic take off plate

from memory the female connector on the oil cooler (setrab) is M10. So you need a M10 to 5/8" adapter nipple. The thinkauto place sell the adapters
