 |
|
Trying to get some ideas of how to run my lines for an external oil cooler. I don't have much room to work with at all because of my crazy lines for the turbo. I have a 1776 full flow case and I'm adding a Schadek 8mm oil pump with 30mm gears where my oil filter is now. Then a new external oil filter up to a thermostat then to the oil cooler (which I have no idea where I'm putting.)
My ideas so far have been mount it to the roof. I don't really want to do that until I get my roof rack finished. Then I thought about mounting it in the parcels tray in the rear with a hole cut out to blow in/out air. The problem with that is I play in deep mud and water. I've already had to put drain plugs in my floorpans and trunk. Maybe mount it to the roof rack, but then where to run the lines??? Any pics would be greatly appreciated.
Here is the mess I'm working with.

Mine doesn't have a blown through turbo, but I just recently tried to simplify my external oil hoses.
I put the filter and a cooler on the inside of the firewall (mostly for heat in the winter), but I figure you could do this and put a shroud around it with holes in the firewall for ventilation... And holes in the parcel shelf for drainage.
