9919ffkerl- 10 AN to 18mm 1.5 adapter x 2

I used both a 150 towards the center of the car and a 120 towards the outer but that was just my preference. I did not test if 180's would work because I didn't want the hose so close to the cooler.
I will be rediong mine later on with all black fittings and braided nylon hose (hate SS braided). I will be black and blue (no red) but i'm going for a sleeper look. I like Earls the best for easy fitment but will be going with Russell next time around. I don't like Aeroqip (will sell those). click for adapter brand choices

Well i am also starting my new oil cooler setup, but i have a big hole that i have to fill with a oil cooler.
I will be using the
Extra Wide Earl 10AN (81910ERL) 169.39 X 2 =338.78
Earls Oil Thermostat (501ERL) 93.99
Earls Steel Line 10AN 20Ft (EAR-320010ERL) 137.95 < Is 20ft to much?
10 Misc 10AN Fitting $XX.XX Dont have a total yet, around 100.00
2 Metric Adapters (FCM2245) 8.82 x 2 =17.64
Ruff Total 688.36
And this isnt even a drop in the bucket, i just bought a 1300 dollar rebuild kit, New front mount intercooler to fill my other monster hole. New Electric Water pump, Greddy Rear Diff sump, 1300cc injectos x 2,
Now i am in the need of tires and rims O **** i dont think anyone is getting christmas gifts from me

25 row fitment

I have a 93 touring, and am planning a double cooler setup.
The front bumper is stock ( no bumper reinforcement however,
as it has a FMIC)
AutoX on hot days really needs more oil cooling.

I have not yet taken the bumper off, just looking below the headlights.
So, do the lights need to be removed to fit a 25 row cooler?

could someone touch on the topic of adding a oil temp/press guage to a dual oil cooler setup?
someone mentioned the earl's t-stat provides for that but i can't find that one, besides rynberg doesn't like it.
also, does anyone have an answer to the hose question regarding how much you need?

I recommend using an aftermarket pedestal (I have the Greddy). Even though it makes changing the filter a PITA, it makes for a good and clean sensor install
I do NOT recommend drilling and tapping the banjo bolt. It may work with some sensors, but it does not work the Defi sensor (and probably others as well).

The ReSpeed replacement has two spots for aftermarket sensors (which is what I'm using):
ReSpeed Pedestal
However, it looks like they are out of stock at the moment.

Thanks, i bookmarked it and will just have to check back periodically.
are the 1/8 npt ports compatible with the hardware most gauges include? or do you need an adapter from HDR?

Using the AQP hose not only reduces cost, ease of assembly increases while the tools required drops to almost nothing.
Care to share your thoughts on it?
Ease of installation, reliability, etc?

Comparison tests of Mocal vs. Earl's?
High failure rate?

^^^ That is one thick oil cooler
Random question: do you really need AN wrenches? Or are there really close metric equivalents?
also, did anyone see the mocal lightweight hose? $14/ft! Compared to the aeroquip stainless braided hose for $6/ft.

I was surprised the AN wrenches from aeroquip didn't close up another side, like a pipe wrench. I have 4 or 5 metric size pipe wrenches, about what is AN10 similar to mm wise?
Just looking back over this thread I have to offer a well deserved thanks to everyone who pitched in with useful info. This is great, i hope to have pics and experiences to add to it in the next month or so.

Unless you have dealt with creating AN lines before, I would recommend going with something else as they can be a pain.

Which is why I'm asking.

I don't consider 200 psi adequate in an oil line with these cars.
AN are English units, guys. I do recommend purchasing AN wrenches, but you can get by with english wrenches, as long as you don't overtorque the fittings (VERY important!). AN-10 is 1". http://www.racerpartswholesale.com/anwrench.htm

Lightweight
Maximum Operating Pressure - 250 psi, over 300F
I think 227% of working pressure will be fine...just no bling factor
