937 Member 266 Member For: 18y 9m Posted 17/10/06 10:27 PM Author Share Posted 17/10/06 10:27 PM What adaptors did you guys use to fit between the block and oil filter. I was think about the Universal Engine Oil Cooler Kit form perma-cool but I am not to sure if the adaptor fits and it also use's clamps on the fitting. Would hate for one to blow off. Any more details on the rest of the setup that you guys are runningThanks←Also make sure that the Adaptor got a Thermostat build in.Speco makes one.

P.S, there is no such thing as a thermostat controlled adaptor plate, the 1 pictured above has a pressure release valve on which is rated at 250 kpa... you would want the plumbing to match to ensure saftey....

You can get the oil cooler off Ebay for about $40.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vincexr6t Member 31 Member For: 19y 1m 30d Location: Adelaide Posted 19/10/06 08:46 AM Share Posted 19/10/06 08:46 AM How many people run a Thermostat on the oil cooler line. I know that you do it to help the motor /oil get up to the correct temp quicker but surly with the turbo the oil will heat up a lot quicker and higher then a non turbo.So do you have to have in the T or is it fine with out one.????
