Re: Need advise to buy SETRAB OIl Cooler
Based on this: - is enough for me.
1) Oil Temp Guage was installed before and after the cooler. Indications showing a general 4-9degC . degrees cooler on average on normal operation AFTER installation. During raining conditions - drastic drop in temp(with cooler in).
2) Oil Pressure Measures at outlet valve was about 30+psi??.. enough to gush out spilling oil onto my entire ....nevermind. Wasted 2 litre in the process.
3) I have no confirmation of oil pressure pumping back at inlet. But only using (1). And as long as i see positive result, i am ok. Not a engineer la.....paisey.
4)Hose diameter and PT/JIC joints are all the same measurement along with the "cap" or whatever they call it. Only varies a little bit in angle and length and threading. Shouldnt differ by much I think? Anyway, I am reverting to tecnik kit as I want a bigger cooler to see better result. I hope???????

Re: Need advise to buy SETRAB OIl Cooler
Then I have to say it is a sorry shop that cannot understand where the pressure side is, where the return is, where the highest spots where air may collect, where to place any valving if needed, and then to tap the threads, get fittings and then plumb and/or valve these points with either straight single or switched-secondary.
Yes that will be great.
2 hours of sitting down with the car's factory manual and/or examining the stock car and planning, and 6 hours on a manual lathe and mill machining and you can have the basics done. All that is left is to order fasteners and hoses.
ok I will stop now..
