bumpbumpbump ^_^ few questions. I just purchased an SOS stage 2 kit and want to add an oil cooler at the same time. I have an earls 15 row laying around and would like to use that.
1. How do I know what size fittings to use? I'm not very familiar with A/N fittings and have no idea what size it is along with what hose to use.
2. For the sandwich plate with thermostat built in, do they make those with 1/8 NPT ports? I need one for my oil temp gauge and one for the feed line to the supercharger.
Thanks!

I just used some cheep $50 oil cooler off eBay. I also used an eBay oil cooler adaptor. The adaptor has 2 -10 ports for the oil cooler and a 1/8npt port which I use to feed the turbo. I removed the stock oil code and used the stock oil cooler lines for the coolent feed and return for the turbo. I am not useing an thermostat for the oil cooler. I also have the kings bumper why which feeds fresh oil to the oil cooler. I have had this setup for over 30,000 miles with no issues.

Hi,
great How-To!
How much can you lower (before/after) your oil temperatures with the 19 row cooler (SET-A19F22-10) and with the stock oil/coolant heat exchanger removed?
What are the max. temperatures that you will get with this setup on the track?

The second setup on Rob's page is my oil cooler setup from a couple of years ago. It featured a Mocal inline thermostat, which I chose because of the unrestrictive nature of the design. Rob's setup also features a 180* oil thermostat built into the adapter plate. I just wanted something a bit different.
Another note about the AN lines - the stainless braiding is very abrasive, so keep it away from anything that you don't want chewed up. Secure the lines properly and keep them away from hoses, wiring and anything plastic. I've been using the twist-tite (or equivalent) push on barbed AN fittings with great success on a few applications. No hose clamps needed, no leaks, no abrasive stainless hose covering.
Nice work, Rob...as usual.
