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 |

Elephant sells an adjustable fan switch (160 to 200 F). In use here on a 3.2. This car a factory -6 that I didn't want to hack up. This is just a street car so cooling requirements are not so high. Seems to do well. Temp measurements using an infrared thermometer are erratic, but there seems to be 20F difference in vs out.

I like this setup from a convenience and compactness standpoint. What would people think about cutting some sheet metal away and ducting the waste air from the cooler directly down and under the motor with a shroud? -Josh2 |
