OK, so I am finally going to run a front mounted oil cooler. From what I have read -12 AN is the way to go for the lines. However, there are 2 choices.
Aeroquip steel braided hose at $6.55 a foot Aeroquip socketless hose at $4.96 a foot Seems like I will need about 28 feet (sounds like a lot) from what I have read. So cost difference is $44.52. The connectors are more expensive too $88.18 for the socketless versus $126.52 for the reuseable. There is another $38.34. Total $82.86 difference. It seems that given the routing that there is not much abrasion (http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act=ST&f=2&t=4657). Is the steel braided really needed?

What pricing have you got on this? Here is what I have so far:
Fluidyne 30618 (21"x5.88"x3") $321 (what are the "extra" AN-6 and 3/8" NPT for?) Mocal 19210 (13"x5.88"x2") $130 Setrab 619-12 (13"x5.88"x2") $150 looks just like Mocal, is it? Setrab 920-12 (16"x6"x2") $185 Pegasus Oil Cooler (13"x5.88"x2") $160 looks just like Mocal, is it? I still can't find a site with the Earl's cooler!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/boldblue.gif) Seems like 6" or so high is the right size. Width, I guess could be just about anything. Given the price differential, Fluidyne seems kind of steep. How would you drain the oil out of the cooler anyway? I guess drill a hole in the floor? What are your thoughts on steel braided versus regular hose? What are your thoughts on thermostat or not? If so, does a sandwich type fit? Thanks, chris |
