External Oil Cooler, let me see some pictures Options

[tradisrad]

I am going to install my 25 row Earls oil cooler over the 4th of july and I am looking for some more ideas, tip and tricks.

I plan on using a wafer adapter to keep my filter in the stock location. I will also install a thermostat and a fan. I will most likely mount it under the rear trunk.

I'd like to see some pictures of what others have done. Experinces on the wafer adapter vs relocating the oil filter and what thermostats are being used. I've seen the Pelican Article.

thanks

What engine? Is this the small filter behind cylinder #6, the stock filter on a six, or are we talkin' a four cylinder car? Perhaps there's something useful here in any event. As you can see the 993 doesn't have a console mounted cooler like earlier motors. Instead there's a small filter there. Mocal thermostat...



Note: I took off the fan BTW. It cools just fine by convection.



Note: This is an auxiliary cooler. The main cooler is front mounted. The original Earl's cooler (above) sprung a leak (7 yrs later) so I replaced it with a B&N cooler with slightly better BTU removal.



More light...


I'm about to add a transaxle oil cooler behind this one in a couple of weeks so I'll have to add a fan to do them both. I've used -10 plumbing. The trans cooler will use -8. Hope that helps.

Good Luck!
