Hi all
I'll probably get hold of an oil cooler setup at some point next year and was wondering how best to plumb it in with sensors for temp/pressure gauges.
Currently I've got a normal sandwich plate with tapped sensor ports and no oil cooler. I want to avoid using two sandwich plates, since the thermostatic oil cooler plates seem to lack any sensor ports.
Are there any holes in the head/block I could use, or does anyone have any suggestions?
get another sandwhich plate that has cooler ports and sensor ports, I've got a thermostatic plate stacked with a normal one and they are a waste of time.
The oil flow to the cooler is open all the time, all they do it allow a tiny amount of oil to bypass the cooler until its hot then this bypass closes.
I still have to cover up my cooler when not on a track to get it up to temp.
If you don't do track stuff just make sure you have some good oil that's stable to like 130+ degrees
I have my sarny plates stacked. I keep the cooler covered with a piece of plastic and slide it off for track days. If I don't do this the oil stays too cold on the road. personally I don't see the issue.Originally Posted by jumpbike
Some folks run their temp/pressure sensors from the sump (have to weld on a boss or two for this or buy an AM oil pan). I prefer the two plates solution.
The other alternative is to by an inline thermostat?
I use a remote filter setup that moves the filter to the suspension strut then on one of the lines it goes to a mocal inline thermostat then off to the cooler
The filter head has ports for pressure and temp and also makes a quick oil/filter change a lot less messy
