My stock ones leaking so I'm just going to replace it with an after market one since i will be boosting the car. So does anyone know what the AN size is that screws into the side of the block?

I dont think it would be an AN style fitting in the block, it should be some sort of metric size fittingOriginally posted by priapismOriginally posted by shameson -
You're going to need to make adapters. The block (and cooler) is not threaded for AN.Comment

well its not technically the block.

Its number three where the oil filter screws onto.

they are metric 22. you need 22mm to x size where x is the an fitting of your choice. I have a pair of -6 and -8's, I can ship from Vancouver, BC, but probably cheaper to find locally at a hose/line company.______________________________________

uhm.... howabout a used M20 factory oil cooler? Not something I'd cheap out on.Comment

Rather get a after market oil cooler so i can move it to up behind the kidney grills, so i can mount my intercooler down by where the stock oil cooler sits.

To accommodate an AN fitting oil cooler on my Spec E30 I had a hose shop make up hoses that had the OE 22mm fittings for the oil filter adapter on one end and AN fittings on the other.The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

That's the oil cooler I'm looking into getting.

Hey Levie
Do you think these would work?

I can't tell. There is no picture so I can't see how those seal. The OE parts use an o-ring at the ring flare and 22mm gland nuts.The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.
