Getting the parts together for an oil cooler and I have seen conflicting info on this site on the sandwich adapter size.

Canton sells both a 22mm-1.5 and 20mm-1.5

I just want to verify the 20mm is correct for the S2000.

Is it possible or advisable to remove the stock oil/water heat exchanger sandwich plate to keep from having 2 sandwich plates?

Thanks in advance.

 

20mm is correct for the S2000.

 

Thanks 99.

 

Rob did you see MotoIQs oil cooler installation? http://www.motoiq.com/magazine_artic...l-cooling.aspx

They discarded the factory heat exchanger:

As I'm adding a big oil cooler, I'm ditching the stock oil-coolant heat exchanger (donut); it serves to warm up the oil faster on cold startup and cool the oil once everything is up to temperature. The coolant typically stays at 90C on the AP2 and the oil at 100C when highway cruising in warm weather with the A/C on. So when the coolant is warmer than the oil, such as when the car is first started up, the oil gets warmed up more quickly which helps reduce fuel consumption. When the oil is hotter than the coolant, the coolant serves to take heat out of the oil. In the place of the stock donut, a Mocal sandwich adapter with a 180F thermostat and -12AN fittings is going in.

 

And if you do piece together something, put a writeup on your site please! I do enjoy the technical info you share on there.

 

Thanks for the link. I thought I read about someone removing the stock sandwich heat exchanger. It's a good article and I'll be sure and document my install.

 

Thanks again guys, I ordered the MOC-SP1FT Mocal Sandwich Plate- 20mm Thread $86.95 from racerpartswholesale.com. It has the 180 degree thermostat built in.

 

The thread size will depend on if you are using the stock cooler or not.

 

Anyone know the hose size going to the oil cooler? I'm assuming we need a longer hose to close the loop when removing the oil cooler?

 

This is funny. I was just on your website this morning to study up on how to install an oil cooler expecting you would have done this already.
