Oil cooler on e16

dburone · Nov 8th, 2004, 08:02 AM

Where would you get oil pressure out from a E16s for an oil cooler? I found something like a plug behind the oil pump where i guess i could get oil pressure, but where should the return line go to?? Any ideas?

Perma-Cool sells Sandwich Oil Adaptors which can be used for an external oil cooler. It is important to use large lines and a low resistance cooler so that the oil flow is not restricted.

It is also desirable to use a thermostated cooler by-pass so that the oil can come up to temperature when driving on the street. If the oil doesn't warm up it can't purge any condensation or gasoline (washed down from the cylinder walls in cold weather).

Hey, a fellow south american!
I am from Peru, and most aftermarkt parts here are custom made
Just get a diagram and a machine shop can make it

get an oil cooler from an E15ET ... they came factory and is pretty easy to install

you can use a sandwich adaptor or use a remote oil filter kit, I used the remote oil filter kit, and have the output of that go to the oil thermostat and then the oil either goes back to the engine or through the cooler and back to the engine. I also have a hydraulic check valve on the output of the oil pump to prevent drainback, it also keeps the oil pressure at 50 lbs +

Thanks for the ideas, i couldnt find what yo guys said, but i know what it is, and im going to make one of those.
The only question i have is why is the thermostat necesary?

As I said in my post above, "If the oil doesn't warm up it can't purge any condensation or gasoline (washed down from the cylinder walls in cold weather)."

This will contaminate the engine oil, and can cause corrosion and loss of lubrication.

Hey dburone, do you have the diagram/schematic for this sandwich plate?
I would like to fabricate a few for our local 'Nismo club' friends
