Does the Glanza test mule get the kit FOC as it is a prototype?

Not FOC but at a discounted price....

Dudes,

Anyone built there own custom oil cooler kit?

Can you advise on what angle unions I require on the sandwich plate, remote filter housing and cooler?

Cheers.

Depends on where you want to mount it.

If you want it to be perfect. buy the cooler and relocation plates first. Put them where you want them, and then have a look at what kind of fittings and length of hose you need.

Im about to build my own actually. to me its all the same, just the quality of hoses gatta be good, the block off plate has to be the right size, a good built tank, just gatta make sure to get the right size fittings for the tank, relocator sandwich, thermostat, and the return.
speedvisions universal one is fine, you can even build your own ss lines if you find out the size fittings for it.

I work for MOCAL chaps so if you can get hoses lengths i can get some prices for ya

 

[Gee]

Cool.

I'll get the GREX cooler lengths, as that reaches in front of the bumper.

 

[justsumguy]

now i got the SS flex hose, AN fittings for hose and NPT to -AN connectors for block off plate and relocator sandwich, i got them from summitracing. now heres my question where does the themostat go? they way i see it the lines would go plate to filter, filter to thermostat, thermostat to cooler, return would be cooler to thermostat to block. or am i way off?

edit
@gee
i got 15 foot -10an, im a yankee no metric, for the size of the hose. just get a measuring tape and guess and add about 3inches to it, then cut. im assuming your making your hoses. For the filter relocation angles it depends where you put it, if you put it in a place where you see the hose has to turn get a 45deg angle, if it turns alot get a 90deg angle. simple.

what wrong with the hong kong stuff?

whilst your offering, how much can you get a meter of 1/2" hose for braided preferably

 

[dantheman]

you would have to compare their stuff to quality stuff mate and the difference is noticable. the quality of materials is usually shite, as is the build quality. ive seen coolers from there where the cores have inflated like balloons.. cores cracking, threaded unions on top snapping off.. and the threads on the fittings dont seem very nice either. alot of stuff is made to look nice but quality and function are a different matter.

dont get me wrong you can get some bits that are half decent quality from china. but alot of it is utter shite to tell the truth.

 

[dantheman]

1/2" stainless oil hose is around £10 per metre bud from memory

 

[goldenvtr]

will that be deliverd? not a bad price actually. merlin motorsport are charging 6£ for half a meter just going to check demon-tweeks now.

would it be supplied in one long length if order at say 2meters?

 

[dantheman]

demon and merlin buy off us mate lol and if you ordered 2 metres you can have it one length or 2. you'd have postage ontop of that but thats not alot

 

[dantheman]

these are a good way of keeping oil temps down aswell.
