mixad Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 How should I route hoses with thermoblock, oil cooler and oilfilter relocation? Should i keep stock "oil cooler"? Can anyone show me a simple layout? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mats R Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 (edited) I did like this using a Greddy oilcooler kit: And doing so I had no need for a oilfilter relocation kit. I made a special bolt between the filter and block and bought a 90 degree rubber hose for the water connection.

Chris Wilson Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 IMO these oil filter relocation kits often remove the reliable and trouble free stock filter location set up, and through bad design, or bad installation you end up with some bits of Dexion holding the filter in some perilous place fed by yards of snaking pipework. The Mats R installation set up is far better, again, IMO I did the same on my RB26 engine and removed the Modine oil to water heat exchanger. Very sanitary! Mats R, very nice to see an engine build that's not oozing gobs of instant gasket out of the sump and oil pump joints That's one of my absolute pet hates.
