hi guys, i have the following setup on my 26,

post-26632-0-64060100-1316757839_thumb.jpg

Now i have got a factory water/oil cooler but obviously not much in the way of lines. From this diagram it looks like it doesnt get any dedicated flow, it comes out of and back into the same pipe, is this what really happens?

I do not have all the factory gear to put back in but i can make it up out of fittings etc. once i know what im doing.

Cheers

from your photo and the diagram i'd say that it gets a feed (or is it the return?) from the water hose and then joins back to the block. there looks to be a water outlet on the block below number 2 (when counting from the left) cylinder. the diagram seems a bit incomplete.

yeah thats what i thought, it just seems to be missing some of the gear. from photos of the factory setup that ive seen it looks like it basically is fed before and returns after the one metal tube in my pic, but that just seems to me to not really guarantee it gets any actually flow, as it would be a more restrictive path than that tube.

I guess i could just try it and see if oil temps are controlled or not but its very hard without rego!

i might try and check if i have that 2nd fitting you spotted, i dont remember blocking it but was a while ago

    • Yeah I also looked at Plazmaman, but, it ended up alot  cheaper getting black ones through EFI when you also added in the delivery cost
    • Nice shot! They look super clean. The roof rack delete on the black one is interesting. Would like to see more pictures from different angles. It's subtle but could make quite a difference to how the car looks in profile.
