Re: Correct way to connect an oil cooler
 

What a waste to dump it back into your oil pan. I'd say route from the back of the block to the turbo. Cool oil for a turbo is never a bad thing.

Re: Correct way to connect an oil cooler
 

Yeah on mine, that'S exactly what I am doing, oil comes from the stock oil sensor location, goes to a cooler and then to the turbo. This is not enough to significantly cool down the engine oil but gives the turbo some fresh and viscous oil.
i also installed an engine oil cooler and for that, you need much bigger hoses. Mine are 3/8". For cheap, you can get at summit a ol filter relocation kit allowing to install the filter anywhere. if you get one of those, you can simpy strech the hose and include your cooler in the circuit.

Here'S some pictures. The blue thing is the turbo cooler, and the small silver one on the passenger side right behind it is the engine cooler.

oh also I think to clean is just like flushing a radiator (correct me if Im wrong)

Re: Correct way to connect an oil cooler
 

No, that sandwich adaptor is nice but it's only 1/8 NPT holes. it's good for vtec heads, oil gauges and turbos.
Not enough for an efficient ENGINE cooler IMO.

I would rather suggest that:

Re: Correct way to connect an oil cooler
 

oh...well how this guy wanted his turbo hooked up straight to the cooler it'd work then..

Re: Correct way to connect an oil cooler
 

yeah yeah, we are on the same page.
For a turbo oil cooler, it's perfect. it's even overkill since just the basic "T" fitting from any turbo oil kit will do the same exact thing. Just don't believe it does any good to your engine oil temp.

that sure would make runnin oil lines easy, anyojne got the specific one?
