3/4" Hose Good for Oil Cooler Use

[rocksarntpeople]

So Im working on a custom twin oil cooler project, and I was wondering if anyone knew of any hose by the foot that would be suitable to support the temps and pressure. Id prefer rubber to keep it more OEM looking but its not completely necessary. Cheaper the better within reason. Thanks!

**I guess it would help if I explained a bit what Im doing**

Plan: Use the stock oil cooler and OFH/Thermostat and run that in series with a modified PPK radiator. Stock fit and finish, without overly increasing the volume of the system.

Planned Execution: 2 X Mishimoto OFH fittings to adapt the OFH and stock cooler to use AN lines, flare the ends of the PPK radiator to adapt push lock fittings to it, plumb the factory return line of the OEM cooler across to the passenger side to the feed of the PPK radiator, plumb that return line back up to the OFH.

In my head this looks like it should work and provide a clean OEM+ style solution for adding a little extra cooling.

I think your best bet for this would be a quality stainless steel braided hose with -AN fittings.

I just finished up an oil cooler project using Vibrant hose (you can order online by the foot) and fittings from fragola. It looks good, leak free and will be durable and safe for use with oil.

-12 is on the large size IMO.
I would say largest you would want to go with a single setup would be -10.
On a dual I would do -8. Distance and pressure drop is going to be much higher.

Also, feeds on the bottom to try and keep the coolers full when the thermostat closes.

Does anyone know if the fitting size on the stock cooler (passenger side) connection is the same as the one on the bottom of the OFH? According to RealOEM, the sealing O-Rings are the same part number so I would assume the fitting is the same.

If so I plan to use the Mishimoto adapter to adapt both the stock cooler and the OFH to AN lines and run in series with a second cooler.

Would -10 be too much as that is the factory line size?

[Petro135]

I think -10 is good for a single upgraded cooler and -8 as iminhell1 mentioned above would be better for pressure if you add another cooler and extra hoses. I never thought about it but it makes perfect sense

[rocksarntpeople]

Are there any adapters available that adapt the factory OFH to 8AN instead of 10 or would a set of reducers be sufficient? Ideally I would want to use the least amount of connectors possible as its just more spots for leaks to happen.

The ones Im referring to are these:

I would need 1 for the housing, and one to adapt the factory oil cooler to AN lines it looks like

Yeah I actually bought his parallel cooler setup, but the fitment wasn't really to my liking so I opted to buy a new cooler and go with a series setup.

I actually will be selling the parallel setup for cheap once I get this sorted since I opted to replace the PPK radiator anyway.
