Danny and I have decided to fab some oil coolers up. We have basically a 3core 4ft by 4ft oil/air cooler (alum). We are planning to cut it up and make individual oil coolers. We realized this needed to be done when we noticed the oil cooler that was purchase online (earls knock off)was made of steel. The only thing is that there needs to be some real research done here. I need dimensions and A N sizes that you need. I will discuss more in depth as the replies come in.


I have a couple interested so far,

and before you ask the only thing this is going to cost is the amount for the welding and the cost of 2 fittings let me know guys mike

 

i signed up??

GREAT!!

 

I's there a DIY for this on my350z?

 

I wanna say -10 an fittings. I'd say you'd want to make ones that are a minimum core size of 6"x10". How thick is the core?

I don't remember how the stock winshield wiper reservoir fits cuz I threw it away along time ago, but for greddy people there is a perfect place on the passenger side where you can make a bracket that is connected to the crash bar brace.

The driver side works too, but the lines would have to be pretty long...

Hey! Where do you get your -an fittings from? is it local?

 

is there a way we can make it fit behind the stock grill?

 

you could get the Fitting from murrays or any speed shop just make sure they are aluminum. Let me get some part numbers for you

 

did a reseach and looks like the cheapest fittings can be purchesed from summit.

let me know later mike

 

I was thinking, I just bought the front impact bumper on ebay and noticed there are 4 radiator supports also on ebay. Give me your opinon on this. Would it be possible to set up a whole front end as a mock up? I was thinking about getting the radiator support to paint mine anyways. This would be perfect for mocking up a location for an oilcooler. let me know

How much is the support, I been looking for a cheap one forever, send me the link if your not going to get it. Mine has had a crack in the bottom since forever....

Where is this murrays?

And mike, are you being serious? 30 cents? lol. I've been needing some but waiting till I can fill a large order on summit to save on shipping.

 

Mike home depot fittings will not work.

 

Murrys is right near where the turnpike turns into 95 that big exchange right there on the right side you can see it from the highway

 

lol no china fittings for me, I will buy some AN fittings and tig those mothers on that beotch

 

nice oil cooler

 

Welp theres been a change of plans. Basically if I were to cut the original intercooler I have the end tank would need to be rewelded every row (huge mess). So what I have decided to do is look around for oil coolers and with the correct size in mind, purchase them and fab end tanks onto them. We (ernest and myself) have pooled up and purchased 20ft of 10an ss line and about 15 10an aluminum weld in bungs. If any of you would like to do this as well pitch in or purchase parts and we can get the ball rolling. The parts listed below are things on ebay. Also listed below is quad cams post about eliminating the oil warmer. let me know


ps ernest buy the sandwich plate!!!!and your set up will be done.
