I am planning on integrating an oil cooler into my filter relocation..but I can't find a suitable thermostat. What are you all running? I am in Florida so I know it may not be 100% necessary..but I plan on tracking the car and a few trips to the Dragon. I can't just use a sandwich adapter because I have to move the filter due to a turbo setup.

Post pics if you have them! I would love to find a remote filter mount with one built in..but I dont know how well that would work.

 

I use to run a Mocal -10 AN oil thermostat.

 

Any problems with it?

 

Paul - I'm running this one http://www.summitracing.com/parts/EAR-501ERL/ Running it with my relocated oil cooler and filter.

No issues so far. Although now that I'm actually monitoring oil temp I was pretty surprised at how long it takes for the oil to come up to normal operating temp.

 

No problems, but I wasn't turbo and don't use it any longer. So, not exactly an apples-to-apples comparison for you. I think it would be a decent thermostat for a turbo setup, though. You can also get them in larger -12 AN sizes, if you're concerned about oil flow restriction.

 

I just picked up the Mocal sandwich with the 180 degree thermostat built in. Haven't installed it yet.

 

That is definitely the best way to go, the least amount of fittings in the system will dramaticlly increase the reliability! With in integrated unit you can remove (4) Hose Ends, (4) AN Connections, (4) NTP Joints or (12) Total points of failure.

 

I would do that.. but I need to move my filter for room for the turbo.

 

I'm running a 160 degree cheapy that I bought on summit racing. So far no issues. I have probably 10 races on it.
