Ok i need to know this, i wanted to use an aftermarket oil cooler from setrab,so i went on to buy sandwich adapter .When i want to tap my sandwich adapter only i find out that i have so call an oil cooler on whcih running with coolant apparently,my question is since i have an oil cooler and i comes originally with adpater ,can i tap my new sandwich adapter on the original one?

and can i run after market oil cooler with the coolant oil cooler as well? or i need to remove the old cooler and only use the aftermarket cooler? the old cooler is something that run some hose to some water pipes.

What should i do if i want to run aftermarket oil coole can i take out the hoses to water pipe and tap it to my after market oil cooler? again i have searched and find it usefull if someone can provide some tech

 

I'll try to answer your post to the best of my abilities.

You should just install the sandwich adapter on top of your stock wateril cooler. Just run both, you'll be fine.

The after market cooler you're looking at should be an airil model, so there is no need for you to plumb it for water. The cooler goes in the front of the car near an air source (ie infront of the radiater). Your oil lines run from the sandwich plate to the cooler and back again. It's pretty simple.

Here is a good write up of a typical installation: http://www.sportauto.cc/Oil-Co...t.htm

You can use anything you trust to carry 260 degree 100 PSI oil in your system, in hoses that will potentially be moving around and rubbing on things as your engine moves back and forth a few inches.

Keep in mind that if one lets loose near your exhaust, you may have a large fire on your hands.

I wouldn't, myself.

I got lots of pics from my oil cooler install that may help:

Braided hose is pretty much the same thing as silcone hoses except is has metal around so it can withstand more pressure. This in turn doesn't help with heat. You still can easily burn the rubber underneith the metal. So...make sure you don't run it by anything hot or use some thermal shield sleeve stuff that the turbo guys get to put on there A/C lines etc.

 

braided hoses aren't necessary, but you must make sure they are oil resistant. &lt;- this is very important, otherwise it will dissingrade

i am goingto use samco silicon hose beside this i am thinking to use the hot water steal braided hose ,copper hose or may be hot water rubber hose,

Any idea which one is the best? Is it possible to use hot water braided hose (it is also braided same as aeroquip or earl)

 

as long as its oil resistant, you'll be fine. braided hoses are still rubber on the inside, it only provide more reinforcement, ability to withstand more pressure, however, they rated limits surpass the highest oil pressure you'll encounter in a honda by a LOT!

Major risk is fire, depending on where the leak happens. I've heard of cars burning to the ground when using insufficient oil hoses near their turbo.

Best case, you'll see smoke but no fire, from oil hitting a relatively hot bit of your exhaust.

If you completely miss the leak, and you lose oil and oil pressure, you can destroy your motor. The motor will probably die before the Turbo bearings.

i am using custom made hyraulid hose whichn is oil resistance
