I currently have a Nismo oil cooler setup on my engine which completely does away with the factory water/oil heater/cooler setup, and although it does a fantastic job of keeping the temperature cool under any conditions......it doesn't have a thermostat which means it takes ages for the temperature to come up to a nice useable 70deg+

I want to put an inline AN-12 Thermostat, but I'm not sure without pulling it apart which is the feed to the cooler, and which is the return to the engine?

Anyone know? :)post-73821-0-92526700-1430107063_thumb.jpg

If it's installed and running in the car, simply run it then use an IR pyrometer to measure the temperatures of the two hoses. The hotter one is out.

Mmm.....cunning plan! Nice thinking, cheers :)

From this picture showing the mounting flange of a NISMO cooler bracket this is the way i believe they flow.

Oil Pump Gallery>Bottom Line>Oil Cooler>Top Line>Filter>Main Gallery

EDIT!!

This picture shows the top (filter) flange, it clearly shown the top line returns to the input side of the filter (with the centre being the return to the main gallery).

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
