ta63-1uzze Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 so i have been looking around at coolers, engine and power steering namely, just wanted to see what people have used and if they have monitored there temperatures before and after etc. i am looking at fitting a oil cooler for the power steering and one from the engine, but i don't want to over kill it with size and then possabily over cool the oil's. i have been goggling but have not found much in the way of thermostats for either the power steering or the engine. i don't know enough about aftermarket fitment so i am not sure on what i need to look for when building my system , any help would be appreciated.

Llama Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Oil thermostats sure do exist, look for inline ones. They used to fit them to race MGBs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morkster Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Rotary oil coolers from say s4? onwards have a thermal pallet in the cooler (so oil bypasses until up to temp.). Heaps of info on them online if you wish to search them out. Just an idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plox Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Not a fan of sandwhich plates but you can get these if it suits placement on your car: http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/performance/core-engine/auction-670726455.htm You can get inline thermos with an oil filter relocation kit etc. Unsure about power steering thermo but could just use lines like a lot of factory cars have.

AllTorque Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I wouldn't bother with a thermostat for power steering. No advantage to having warm PS fluid. A small trans cooler would be plenty to keep it cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOHC Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I was looking at my Ford telstar, it just has a peace of steel tube bent in a loop infront of the rad for a PS oil cooler, no thermostat in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
