recardo Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 (edited) The oil cooler on my 7/11 has a hairline crack on the mount / housing where the L/H hose bolts on to. Edit to add - its pishing oil!I'm guessing this might be fixable by specialist welding, second hand ones on egay are £50+ with some "needing repair" so thinking after market oil cooler? Quick look on that site shows various coolers new from £30 up, but I don't have a clue about fitments etc!What would I need to buy after market - rows (17??) and hose fitments assuming standard feeder hoses will need replaced? Engine is 1990 1127cc slingy motor.Any advice and guidance much appreciated!cheers Recardo! Edited October 20, 2015 by recardo more info Quote
SiBag Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Most people tend to use a 19 row oil cooler.Standard size hoses are AN8 ( - 8 , JIS 8 or 3/4 UNF )all the same just different name.Torques can supply all the fittings at a decent price if your not fussed by branded stuff (Goodridge etc..)Problem is you will spend nearly as much on hoses and fittings as you will on a cooler..

vizman Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 I'm sure torques will be happy to know they're not a brand. hahahaha.....torques black anodized stuff looks kool and works tip-top. Quote

Gixer1460 Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 IMO Dash 8 / AN8 is ok for supplementary coolers / head coolers etc but if tuning the motor, a step up to Dash 10 hose and fittings / 5/8" inlets on cooler allows better flow with reduced pressure loss. Better flow allows more heated oil to be cooled - I used a 19 row and it coped well with turbo power but didn't like sitting still - traffic wasn't its friend! Quote
Ben Slabby Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 With a cooler off Eblag and fittings and hose from torques, i think mine weighed in at aboit the £70 mark. Quote
bluedog59 Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Plated steel hose fittings are a lot cheaper than the anodized alloy ones. You can always paint them to look like expensive ones. Quote
Leblowski Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) I am running a chinese an 10 19 row cooler wich was intended for a nissan the cooler came with hose and bends the whole thing costed me about 120 euro and works fine. I thought for that money its worth a try. Offcourse you have too make brackets yourself.running it on my turbo bike keeps it cool enough.bought from egay Edited October 23, 2015 by Leblowski 2 Quote
