I am finally going to bite the bullet and install a front oil cooler. I have searched and searched and on this topic there is a bit too much info and hard to sort through all the posts. I have a few basic questions and I was hoping that someone could help or point me in the direction. All the rest seemed pretty straight forward.
I plan on using a sandwich plate (with plugged intermediate plate). I have a 4 cyl 2258. For the most part, the car is used for driving around and rare auto x. I have a schadek 26mm pump however I also have a 30mm that isnt installed yet- I plan on installing the schadek 30mm pump when I install the new cooler. Questions- 1. Is it ok to use a sandwich plate for a front oil cooler? If ok- can someone point me in the direction of which one to buy? 2. Is it ok to use -8AN lines (steel braided)? 3. What is the general consensus on the most cost effective cooler for up front? |

So I have been searching for oil line routing to the front cooler. I am planning on running stainless braided lines under the passenger rocker. All of the pictures that I can find involve running the lines partially in the back and front of the passenger cabin. Is there any way to avoid running the lines through the passenger cabin while still running them under the rocker panels? I really don't mind routing the lines in the back of the passenger compartment however I would like to avoid running them through the passenger footwell.

Under or on the side of the car, but wouldn't recommend that approach. |
