They don't get mounted, they are held on by the oil filter threaded pipe. Here's some pics to see how it works, you just unscrew one pipe and screw the other in with the cooler. Now you can see how easy it could be to fit another style cooler from a Mustang or similar.

Not all blocks have the same size oil doodle. Bf turbo, territory turbo and fg gas are confirmed the same thread, however territory na has a smaller diameter doodle and others may have as well.

ahh I see that's a totally different piece than I was imagining. so it must plumb to an external heat exhanger somewhere?
cant quite see from the photos but does it divert *all* oil flow through the fittings out the bottom and back in?

if so its basically just doing the same job as the sandwich plate ive got here.


whatever it is plugged in to heat exchanger wise might be the key, if I can find that part.

also yes sorry this isnt trans cooler related now, I've a standalone thread that would keep it out of the way.

Those fitting next to each other are for water. The external heat exchanger is the radiator, there are coolant lines that run to it. The oil goes into the flat sides of the cooler.

 

In other news, mods are ghey :nutkick:

what is everyone doing in regard to the coolant lines that go into the exchanger once they bypass it to an oil/air cooler at the front? I could just leave it connected but if the inside of the exchanger degrades im going to be dumping my coolant all over the road lol.

Unsure what the coolant ID size is (19mm maybe)? I'd just use copper pipe as it's easily flared and bent but that's me. Pretty sure they sell a pipe to connect them and fits to the old mounting locations but unsure of the name...

swap the plastic connectors around, just push in the sides inside the holes and pull the connector off.

Unclip the ear nose clamps, holding the existing hoses on and replace with an L shaped hose by Gates, Part number is 02-0025

I might be remembering wrong, but I'm sure one of the hoses could just bridge the gap between the two hard connections once the cooler was removed and nothing extra needed
