MORE Custom Oil Cooler Kit Stuff......

[Allan74]

Would anyone be interested in something like this?

These are all readilly available parts/pieces from sellers that I have used before on Ebay.

Either I can build and re-sell, or you can just buy the black line from me, as I have to order some and the min order is 25ft.....and I don't need that much. I can order in bulk, a larger amount, save more $$, then split it up for those who want some.

As you can see in the pic, building this 5 line kit requires:
- Black billet Block adapter & Filter adapter, AN-10 fittings pre-installed.
- Aluminium 4 port 20 GPM Thermostat + (4) pipe-to-AN10 Fittings.
- (10 pcs) Total, AN-10 Hose fittings required (angles as per your needs).
- AN 10 Black braided, steel internally reinforced line.
- AN-10 Oil Cooler of your choice, AN-10 fittings pre-installed.

The 5 line kit connects as such:

I will get pricing for all of the pieces figured out shortly.
I am estimating a total cost of UNDER $600CAD, depending on what cooler you choose to use and the cost of angled fittings that you choose (more angle=more $$ most times).

Let me know what you guys think.

Here is worst case scenario pricing, to buy this stuff and build the kit:

Rough pricing in USD to buy from Ebay....
- Black billet Block adapter & Filter adapter, AN-10 fittings pre-installed. ($85 shipped)
- Aluminium 4 port 20 GPM Thermostat + (4) pipe-to-AN10 Fittings. ($120 shipped)
- (10 pcs) Total, AN-10 Hose fittings required (angles as per your needs). (approx $10-$15 each x 10)
- AN 10 Black braided, steel internally reinforced line. (approx $10/foot x 14ft ?)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ = $500 + Cooler ?

- AN-10 Oil Cooler of your choice, AN-10 fittings pre-installed. (approx $40-$200 each)


Again, this is a very HIGH estimate.

I am hoping to have the Oil Line available for $8.00/ft CAD once I purchase 100ft or so, if anyone is interested.

Obviously regular Steel Braided line is cheaper, but I WANT BLACK ;)

This way, everyone can purchase the stuff on the list above, themselves....and save whreever they can, then we can just split up the Black Line if anyone wants it.

Being that everything is BLACK is what makes this a few $$ more. If everything here was all regular colours (and no one cared about colour) Blue, Red, Stainless Steel crap, I would say, the cost would be about $200 less.

Anyways, there you go.

Another alternative, is.....

We could get a few guys in on this and have each person be responsible for the purchase of 1 item in quantity.....

1 Guy can buy 5 Thermostats, 1 Guy can buy 100ft of Line, 1 guy can get all the fittings, another guy can buy all the Oil Coolers in bulk.

Just an idea, as it's the shipping for a single item that kills us on Ebay. Where as the first item is $33 shipping, then each item after is only $7.00.

For instance:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360222332165&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT

$60 Item, + $13 10AN fitting upgrade, $33 shipping first item...each additional item is only $7 shipping.

So first item costs $106 USD shipped, second item is only $80 USD shipped.

Sounds good.

My next oil cooler setup on a car would definately be custom built like this from high-quality parts.

Unless I can find another sweet deal on a name brand.
