Re: Oil Cooling ? (B18CXr)
Well, I'm sure alot of people won't appreciate this, and I admit it's a little ghetto, but on my budget I can choose something or nothing 
So, 1) Got B&M style cooler from DUMBestic truck junker ($20, with a ton of other parts)
(hose clamps and some fittings included)
2) 10 feet oil cooler hose $10
3) Permacool Oil Cooler sandwich adapter $25
4) 2 Brass fittings ~$4
5) Zip ties
-------
~$59...so, for around $60, I got an oil cooler installed that is comparable to the Mogal in size. It was 1/10th of the price, and I'd wager (my left nut) alot more than 10% as efficient.
::EDIT:: I do plan on replacing the hoseclamps with some compression fittings, but the SS lines are kind of overkill, IMO. In any place where I thought it would rub, I cut a length of hose, split it down the side and put it around the oil line, as a sheath, with zipties.
Not knocking, because if I had the money, I'd probably get a fancy one. I don't have any numbers, as my oil temp/pressure gauges are sitting on the work bench, but maybe this weekend? BTW, those gauges are from the junker (VDO) and new senders were $35

the setup ran me about 450 with everything....that stupid nomex hose costs 15.00 a foot...but you could run stuff cheaper...i put in a oil pressure guage and a oil temp guage..thats all
