Stillen Oil Cooler question

Does anyone with a Stillen oil cooler know the size of the fittings that it uses on the lines?

Thanks,
Del

Bill, these are referring to permacool, and I am not certain that Permacool's setup and Stillen's setup are similiar in that respect. I too searched and didn't come up with a answer specifically relating to the Stillen kit, with their "no-name" filter sandwich adapter, and unidentifiable cooler.

Anyone else?

Perhaps $tillen sucks or is overpriced and everyone went with Perma-cool?








In reality, Keving could answer your question in 2 seconds but is choosing not to right now.

I used -8 lines... -8 120 degree bend fittings off the sandwich adapter (probably 1/2 NPT)...

You need to find out what the fittings are for the cooler.

Bill in regards to Stillen Vs. Permacool, your absolutely right, I got by Stillen

I don't think Keving has the answers, but maybe he should give me the link to his Permacool kit so I can get that instead.

Mocal 180 degree F thermostat build into the sandwich adapter.

jOo got links? gimme more info. I need to order this stuff ASAP. What fittings and stuff did you get for the cooler? I think I am going to go with the dual cooler and do the PS as well, makes things a little cleaner under there.

PS? That is probably an overkill since you already have aluminum lines for it.

By the way where did you get the fittings to fit your Oil cooler? I would like to do that with the stainless steel lines, looks very neat and no mess, These rubber hoses just aint cutting it no more.
I bought the fittings from a local shop, but I can give you the Aeroquip part numbers. Rubber hoses suck!

4 FCM2008 -8AN flare 1/2 NPT
2 FCM1013 -8AN hose ends (you may want to locate a good spot for the cooler before buying these)
2 FCM1043 -8AN 120 degree hose ends

Aluminum? Huh? Mine are rubber, going to the aluminum U shaped tube, coming back out as rubber. I have the hard alumium lines going into the Pump if I am correct, but not going to the cooler.

I would like to do everything in SS, but I need to mail order everything since I don't have ANY decent tuner shops around here.

Yeah, I was talking about the aluminum U tube. Gotcha... you want to go all out bling bling and do SS lines for everything. I thought about but my hands/fingers said no from being pricked so many times.

The PS hoses look to be -6... can't use hose ends on the plastic reservoir but you can use straight ends on the new threaded cooler (or 90 degree hose ends... depends how you're mounting it).

I am not sure if I am going to do SS for the PS, but it would be nice, although if not properly held down, would prolly rattle like a ****.

I have the issue now with the Oil Press guage, the SS line for it rattles to high hell. I am going to buy stock in a zip tie company.

Did you use a B&M tranny cooler or did you buy a kit and throw all the junk out?

D,

I have had the stillen cooler for over 2 years now

I am looking to go to a dual pass cooler to clean up the routing of the lines, and I want to get away from the rubber lines to Stainless steel lines for some more show appeal (Bling Bling) So I am considering switching from the Stillen kit that I already have to a different, obviously custom setup and I need to pester Keving for some more info.

There's a polished one on that site? No but there is in Kevina's car, so either he bought it that way or paid for the bling bling, that's what I need to know.

I have the Stillen one that will be installed next week... dont know exactly how it will work but we replaced the stock rubber lines w/SS ones already...I'll let you know how it goes.
