WJM Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 Alrighty then..... Ive got everything to install an oil cooler on my RX...remote base and pump adapter....lines are easy, and I have many choices for cooler cores....so, should I install it? And where should I mount it? Let the opinions fly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skip Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 William, does the adapter have a thermostat? Where you live this may not be an issue, but I am sure you realize the importance of getting the oil to a temp about 215 F so volatiles and condensation are "boiled" out. I have a digital lab thermometer with a thermocouple in the oil pan, I am amazed at how fast the oil comes up to temp on our turbo cars, I feel during the summer months the cooler is a good idea. My turbo's oil runs at 260 - 270 deg F in my climate (W PA) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJM Posted October 5, 2003 Author Share Posted October 5, 2003 No thermostat. I wonder how I could install one....I would love to find an original factory adapter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skip Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 Marnix sent one to I think Boz - seems some of the Euro models came with them. Might try him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
