oil cooler

[pornstr20v]

would a oil cooler from a stock buletop 16v fit on a 20v

[Norbie]

Any oil cooler will fit with appropriate hoses and fittings.

They run the same oil filter so i would assumer they also run the same fittings. Depending on what car it's in you might find the hoses are not the right lengths though but you can get hoses from repco, enzed, motorsport connections and so on, the prices will vary though.

They are a bypass system too, not full flow and the return is in the sump. Keep all that in mind.

[pornstr20v]

so your telling me if will work

[Gavatron]

Yeah it'll work, but then it'll just piss the oil all over the ground because you have no oil return line in your sump.

Lol! In other words, tap an oil return into your sump if you are keen...

I used a ghetto-style workaround, since I found the oil return banjo bolt has the same thread as the sump plug , so I've got my return line feeding straight back into the sump plug hole (banjo bolt serves as the sump plug). It may not be ideal, but it seems to work ok.

and of course, the 16v sandwich plate bolts straight onto the 20v block no worries.

a bit risky if the sump cops a hit from road debris

[adamaw11]

yeah thats my main worry, but a sump copping a hit in any case is a bad thing. The end of the banjo bolt does become just lower than the sump with my setup, but the hose heads straight upwards and is pretty much out of the way.
