XKR has twin oil coolers on his G

 

^ that's a sick setup!

OP, i found Cheston's thread on my350z.com to be very helpful when putting together my oil cooler:

Nice link I have the Nismo with twin intercoolers so I think imwill put an oil cooler up in the grill that is the only spot I see it getting a decent amount of airflow.

 

here's another piece together your own DIY oil cooler- http://my350z.com/forum/engine-drive...r-install.html

 

yeah i checked out the threads on my350 that popped up through the search. was just checkin for the Gs since the fitment might be a lil different...... preferably with a nismo front? lol

 

Any pics of your oil cooler setup, in terms of parts and mounting location?

 

i don't recall taking any pix, but when i get home tonight i'll check my laptop. I pretty much followed Cheston's layout, but Dave from Rare JDM made me some custom brackets that mount to the bottom of the crash bar. i think mounting to the radiator support should be secure enough, but i wanted to position my coolers further forward but still above my intercooler piping.

i do have a parts list i can send you though.

 

Your parts list would be great, thanks.

 

I think behind the grill will be a good spot on a nismo front bumper, i guess alot has to do with your intercooler setup? Like i said mine will be in the grill because my intercoolers fill up the bumper holes.


here is one with it in the grill.

 

Fab, the parts are basic and the install is pretty simple..lets do this!

 

^ I'm game. I gotta look into a tranny cooler too though.

 

You can buy the exact same stuff for both. The tranny cooler is actually easier since you dont need the sandwich adapter.

 

I thought so. That's good then. I'm still interested in bigc's cooler dimensions and location since he has the vortech. I don't want the coolers ending up hitting any of the pipes lol.

 

My parts list is below:

(1) Earl's #41610 16 row cooler
(1) 6' of -10AN Earl's Pro-lite hose (you can go with stainless or another brand if you want, but this stuff flexes better. also, i think i only ended up using 5').
(3) -10AN 90 degree swivel fitting & hose end (1 will go on the cooler, the other two will connect to the sandwich plate)
(1) -10AN 150 degree swivel fitting & hose end
(1) Mocal thermostatic sammich plate (thread = 20mm x 1.5)
(2) Mocal 1/2" BSP x -10 fitting (you need these because the mocal sandwich plate has BSP threading).
As for the bracket, you can piece together misc straps/plates/etc from Home Depot.

Note, he went with Earl's fittings for the sandwich plate that did not require adapter fittings.

 

^ Awesome, thanks a lot man .
