Posted by: Aaron Cox Mar 13 2005, 08:56 PM
30 feet? 2 x 15 foot sections?

also.... i have the option of running -8,-10, or -12 AN line........
cooler can be made with any fitting.......

where to run the lines???? going with aeroquip blue hose.....
under the car? througfh the longs? or in the rockers......???
im partial to the v8 way.... smaller hoses..... should be safe.....

oh yea dont get the hose cut into sections.. buy 20 feet and when you start plumbing the oils system fit each piece, cutting the shortest piece first..
hope this makes sense to you
you should have some leftover

through the longs.... what does it do when it reaches the fender?
Posted by: TimT Mar 13 2005, 09:07 PM
well that sounds like a deal.. go that direction then
Posted by: Aaron Cox Mar 13 2005, 09:11 PM
where to route the hose though......
if i go under the car...... like the v8 guys.... thats a straight and EASY shot to the front cooler......
wonder what blue hose does if it gets compressed.... 
Posted by: TimT Mar 13 2005, 09:15 PM
Aaron on my car the hose goes through the heater duct on the drivers side (longs)
I havent seen my car since we got snow two months ago
Ill check how the hose comes out of the frontof the long asap...

Drill holes in the wheelhouse and route into the front trunk.
No 90 degree bends as the hose will pinch. Straight as possible for good flow.
Thru the longs, they are protected if you put grommets to protect it where it runs thru the metal. Otherwise, it will eventually abrade and leak.
Under the car, you run the risk of a puncture from a rock or ??????
Oh... -12 for oil lines

If you're going to use -12 lines with a T-IV engine, I think you're going to have a pressure problem. Sixes run the cooler in the scavenge circuit, where pressure isn't an issue. Since the four doesn't have a scavenge circuit, you're pumping all the oil with the pressure pump, which I don't think will be able to handle that kind of volume.
My four had -10 lines for my front-mount cooler, which worked fine, but when I got the six, I had to re-plumb with -12.

The problem is that -10 is the max for a four and -12 is the minimum for a six.
There's no cross-over size that works for both.
