Ae92 Oil Cooler

[ae71wagonater]

Hey everyone, I have been thinking of rigging up an AE92 oil cooler setup onto my 20v AE71 wagon. I have read that some people think they are shit and i should get a full flow aftermarket kit, but I'm trying to save money.

What are your thoughts on these cooler setups? Are there many 4age KE70/AE71's getting arround with this setup?.

I have the sandwich plate and a sump with the oil return, and saw plenty of coolers at the wreckers.

just have to adapt the oil return fitting onto a 20v sump.

any suggestions a apprecatied.

Cheers. :dance:

full flow depends on if your going to be holding the engine at peak rpm for say an hour on a race track or just a 15 minute blast throught the hills ?

if your not really giving the car much stick for a long period of time i don't see why the AE92 oil cooler would be a problem, but if your sourcing a cooler from the wreckers see what else is available and check the specs online.

unless you give it prolonged thrashing you won't even need an oil cooler. i don't take my car to the track so i don't even use an oil cooler. it takes ages of boosting around before the oil temp will nudge 100 degrees, takes a while for the oil temp to get to 85-90 but once its there its pretty stable.

thanks guys, yea shes just a daily driver that i give a bit of a boot too, i thought she might have been getting a little bit warmer than normal, which was resulting in a little pinging, due to something with the water system but it seems to be stable arround the 85-90 degree mark now, however it is FKN cold at the moment so I'm wondering how it will be in summer.

 

cheers everyone.
