boso style oil coolers

cid_casterwick · **Posted:** Wed May 26, 2010 6:26 pm

Im having a tough time with this for some reason. Finding oil coolers isn't hard, do it all day long haha, but finding that "right" one for that perfect external look is tough.

The problem I have is I don't know if they have a japanese translation I don't know like "tsurikawa" plus I don't know of any specific brands so its a little frustrating looking.

Any info would be sweet, thanks gents!

I think a lot of guys use RX-7 oil coolers?

FC oil cooler on ebay

Pretty sure this is an FC RX7 cooler too:

Good call Datsunfreak, picked one up today at the local junk yard, $11 haha.

Yeah, everyone uses the FC part.

I'm debating whether or not I want to do this. It looks gangster, but I'm afraid punk kids will cut the hoses in a parking lot. I could just make it non-functional, but I'm ideologically opposed to doing this.

If it helps, a lot of people who use them don't hook them up.

You could always use stainless braided hose? At least make it a little harder to cut? :mrgreen:

im going to have to do that, i always assumed they were hooked up and functional hahaha. i dont have a car that it would even look good on, but if i did i would be afraid of people cutting the hose too...if it was hooked up lol

Ill be hooking mine up for sure, thankfully I live in a sedate enough area most people aren't that disrespectful. When I was DDing the Skyline it never got messed with, only fanboys climbing in windows lol.

Does it have to be a certain trim? Turbo only?

I thought every model FC had an oil cooler, I'll look next time I'm home just to be sure. If so, I have an '86 parts car if anybody needs one.

why would anyone hook this up? most cars have stock engines and their oil will never ever ever be that hot it needs to be cooled.
If you do decide to hook it up make sure you use a thermostatic sandwichplate or else your oil will never reach the proper operating temperature.

been looking for one for ages also

but i had planned on using it for the autotrans.

if you do hook up an oil cooler on a street car I would make sure to have a thermostat in there so your oil doesnt run too cool. I know the Greddy adapters have them built in. Also not so sure I would hook up a junk yard oil cooler to my engine, who knows what could be in there. Metal shavings, rust, raccoons? lol

another note, the stock fc oil coolers have thermostats in them. so if you want to hook it up, there you go.
