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 -Rob |

QUOTE(tradisrad @ Jun 30 2010, 09:28 AM)  I am getting clooser to installing my oil cooler. I am now gathering my last few parts and am wondering if those with a fan on the cooler are using a tempature switch to turn the fan on? And what switch is being used? I don't want to put a switch on the dash or even worry about turning the fan on. So a switch that is controlled by the oil temp is what I am looking for. The pelican article list several switched, but after aquick web search the switched no longer seem to be avaliable. thanks -Rob I went switched, not thermostat. 1 less thing to fail... where I am only in the coldest weather would you want it turned off... so it just stays on... I put the switch in the engine bay. if the car is running, the fan is on... I didn't want it to try and cool oil that is already too hot. and a thermostat is one more thing to fail. |
