Oil cooler?
Hi guys i was wondering if i need an oil cooler for my setup. I am kind of looking foward to buying one, but I don't really know if they make'em for 1992 GSX. I went to the junk and plucked off the whole oil cooler core, pipes and oil adapter (goes on the oil pump) from a 1990 or 1991 not so sure, but we had no way of figuring out what to do with it because its totally different. Well if any of you guys know where i can get an oil cooler setup or how to rig an oil cooler so it'll work for 1992. Please let me know, I have the following:
Engine: HKS 264 272 camshafts HKS camgears JDM lifters Crower Titanium Retainers and Springs Ferrea Valves (1 mm over) Port and Polished Head Port and Polished stock intake manifold Cometic Head Gasket ARP Head Studs JE Pistons (.02 over) Eagle Rods w/ ARP rod bolts Kings Main and Rod Bearings Balanced Crank Balance shaft removed Following parts are new : Block Freeze Plugs Oil pump Water pump All timing and crank pulleys and belts All gaskets and seals Bolt-ons: Slowboy FMIC w/ HKS BOV GM MAFT Polyuerthane Motor Mounts Fluidyne Radiator SPAL puller fan RRE oil catch-can FP 4" intake w/ K&N filter 60-1 T3/T4 Tial 38mm wastegate Victory O2 housing Apexi 3" downpipe custum straight pipe through Apexi N1 ACT Streetlite Flywheel ACT Extreme pressure plate 2600 ACT Street disc (hope but might burn) TRE fully rebuilt with all of extra modification with SPOOL instead of spider gears (busted and unreusable basket) Fuel: Walbro 255 lph -6AN fuel line from tank to rail Aeromotive rail Aeromotive regulator 750cc RC injectors Electrics: PLX M-300 wideband Dsmlink MG ECU (don't really matter, but its new) BR coil on plug MSD Dis-2 NGK plugs

Re: Oil cooler?
An oil cooler will help a good bit with a setup like that one. It shouldn't be too hard to rig up the oil coolers from the 90's and 91's to work on your 92. Just re-route your oil pump return line to your oil cooler and then have the oil cooler return line go back to the return line on your oil pump. There's no reason it shouldn't work. The only other problems I could think of that you may run into would be needing a little more oil in your system and you may run into a problem with low oil pressure. Just check to see if the oil pumps from the 90's and 91's are the same as in your 92. If so, then you should have no problem with oil pressure. You could also check and see if the oil capacity is the same as the 90's and 91's as in your 92. If so, then your home free and that should be all you need to do.

Re: Oil cooler?
Yeah, I would definately use one reguardless of the mods. Not sure how to rig one up sorry, but you got it from a 90. They were the only year to get them
.EDIT: Also, I would image you'd take a good quart or quart and a half more with it, just be sure to watch it.

Re: Oil cooler?
You could just get the 90 oil filter housing.

Re: Oil cooler?
oil filter housing fome 90 will fit on any 6bolt engine. The 2g's need the evo filter housing to run extrnal cooling. If you have one, sell it, or use it. A good used 90 housing, lines & cooler can easly fetch $100

Re: Oil cooler?
Yes, there is an EVO housing for the 2g motors. Several DSM vendors sell them (MachV, Turbotrix, etc). The only DSM in the US to come with an air to oil cooler (rather than the oil/coolant mixer) is the 90 turbo cars. THe lines and cooler itself can be used with the proper housing. You'll also need the banjo bolts and crush washers, which you may have snagged from that 90 car, or you can get them at the dealer.
Another thing many people do is get the filter housing and some metric to AN adapters, to run AN lines to an oil cooler of your choice. Extra oil capacity required by the cooler setup will have no effect on pressure, extra oil capacity is always considered agood thing. Having to pump oil through a mildly restrictive oil cooler setup can drop pressure a little bit, but if it was a problem Mitsu would not have risked it and warranteed it. Also, for what it's worth, the EVO8s went back to the air style cooler, thank God! Those oil/coolant mixers are one of the unreliable parts on the DSMs, and I got rid of mine yeeeears ago...

Re: Oil cooler?
Hey guys, lets say i bought a summit oil cooler for example with Machv's external oil adapter. And i wanted to to run it with AN fittings and hoses, what size hose is recommended and if possible, about how long because i just want to mounted by the drivers fog light location, if possible (foglite is out)
