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 |

a little follow up:
Before I installed the oil cooler I was seeing engine temps climb into and past the 220 degree mark on my commute home. Yesterday afternoon I had my first commute with the oil cooler and my oil temps never climbed more than a needle width above 180 degrees. I am seeing a 40 degree difference! It seems that the oil takes a little longer to heat up to operating tempratures and my over all oil pressure is higher with the cooler oil temps. now I am wondering if my oil pressure is too high. My gauge is pegged at 80psi until I reach the 180 temps then I see 60+ psi on the freeway at 3400 rpm. Idle oil pressure is 20psi. I am thinking of playing with the relief springs to see if I can drop it a little. I've got the long relief valve and stiff spring at the first by pass and I don't remember what spring plunget I have at the rear bypass. I guess my question on this post is do I need to lower my oil pressure or am I ok? Also does one of the oil by-passes controll over all oil pressuse or do they work togeather? Am I worried about noting? thanks -Rob |
