Anyone know what size AN fitting oilcooler lines are?

Found these, have a o-ring built into them.

I'm not sure if those will work or not. The OE fittings seal inside the adapter, not on it's outer surface, which is why I chose to use the OE fittings.

You can always get a filter relocation kit and run a oil filter sandwich with a built in thermostat & ports for the oil cooler.

Summit carries a generic filter relocation that will work perfectly. Here's the filter sandwich: Summit Racing Part Number:EAR-502ERL

But then for that wouldn't you have to get an adapter plate for the oil cooler lines as well?

You will need an ETA oil filter stud...looks just like this. (part # 11112140435)



Summit Racing Part Number:SUM-G4985-1 OR Summit Racing Part Number:TRD-1113

Summit Racing Part Number:EAR-502ERL

Then you'll want to find some nice -10 AN lines that will go to an oil cooler.

Well this just got expensive quick:-|

That's the problem...I personally will not be running an oil cooler on my turbo m20.

How come?

How come?

There have been numerous tests done (street and track driven) that prove the stock oil cooler isn't necessary. Oil temps don't get high enough... The older ETA's didn't even come with an oil cooler from the factory.

That is true for a stock engine, but the heat load from a turbo is an entirely different matter.

The track data for a car w/o an oil cooler is that the oil doesn't get dangerously hot. Not that an oil cooler can't be of benefit. The OE cooler doesn't get good air flow and makes little difference. But an aftermarket larger cooler, mounted in front of the radiator, makes a noticeable difference. Especially if the thermostat in the oil filter adapter is defeated.

Had no oil cooler on my turbo car. If you don't track it your not gonna see high oil temps. No oil cooler and temps stayed low.

I did eventually run a cooler due to the car changing roles to basically a dedicated track/drift car. Bouncing off the limiter for a few minutes with a cooler and temps have yet to go over 180, I'm talking glowing headers and a glowing hot side on my turbo... I don't give this thing a break. I'm using a earls cooler paired with a relocation kit, with a Ford sandwich plate (thermostat controlled but has a bit of a bypass, figured the t stat would make sure it doesn't runntoo cold when I'm not on it..... Which it does regardless!) can't get oil temps past 140 on a cold night just driving around. That's paired with a wix 51515 filter which holds an extra quart of oil.

Expensive? Yes. But worth it for a car that will see the track. Esp a turbo car.

I won't be running an oil cooler on my next turbo m20. I'll report back with my typical temps (will be a DD and see no track time)

Having ordered a few 'Fragiola' parts, once-
Russell is good quality, consistent stuff. Likewise Goodridge, Earl's, Aeroquip...
'Fragiola', Summit house brand, Jegs house brand- not so much.
At all.
Spend a few extra bucks once, don't dump your crankcase contents at an inopportune time.

And yep, turbo plumbing can quickly outstrip the cost of a turbo, if you're determined to
do it right!

Does anyone know the thread type for oil line.

I think you're going to have to elaborate a little.
