It might be necessary to get an oil relocator and have the bolts fabricated to fit your style of car, meaning your engine oil bolt. But you can at least give it a shot. If you wish to use an oil relocator, you will need to have the bolt fabricated at a machine shop, so please be prepared to do so. In order to get around a piece of metal, I also needed to have fittings made. It cost me a few hundred more dollars just to discover that I would lose more oil pressure by choosing this over a stock replacement. In my 2004 Ford F150 I have a roush supercharger that puts out 500 horsepower. It's not as simple as plugging in and playing. It is my hope that this has been helpful to

For the conversion of a factory transmission oil cooler into an engine oil cooler on the 2003 Land Rover Discovery 2. Once installed, under the same conditions, my max oil temperature has been kept below 215 degrees F. Previously, I was running my oil up to 245 degrees F on hot days on the highway. In my experience, it is best to keep the oil temperature between 180F and 200F even on the hottest days here (105F+). If the outside temperature is below 90F, I do not exceed 180F. The only reason I gave four instead of five stars is that Mishimoto doesn't provide any information as to which port is out and which is returning, they state it doesn't There is a difference if you use a radiator cooler that is wider than your radiator. In both cases I got it wrong. I had an equal chance of getting it right. As you look at the ports on the adapter in the mounted position, assuming your oil filter mounts from the bottom as is standard on most vehicles, you'll see that the out port is on the left, and the return port is on the right. I also found that there is no grounding point for the sensors, as even though I avoided thread sealant both sensors did not supply a signal, once grounded the sensors worked as expected. This makes a significant difference in oil temperature and allows oil to reach an ideal operating temperature.
Embedded on either side of the plate are two npt ports. It is nearly impossible on the websites and photos to convey where they stand between this and the standard sandwich plate, which, as far as I know, As a result of the thermostat partially opening for my specific application, my oil cannot reach the proper temperature while driving to the track because the oil does not get warmed up to the proper temperatures. My oil cooler has to be partially blocked off in order to keep it between 190 and 200 degrees It'll be 200 per day on the street and freeway, so the thermostatic feature of this product will be nullified.
I may buy a higher temp thermostat for my next oil change, but it's not that big a deal. I think that this is a decent enough product, but I would be careful about the temperature setting on the stock thermostat. The unit is of good quality aside from that. I have been pleased with it after two.
I give this product three stars. Considering the adapter nut is only suited for this application, it should be included in the specification or at the very least indicate that it's not included. I have even watched the installation video where they do not mention buying another part of the turbo setup. I am dismayed because I was planning on starting my 2 year project today and doing burnouts for the 4th of July but no matter what I cannot do the turbo setup without this part.
I haven't installed it yet, but I was initially very skeptical of the design. After testing it out, I now If the thermostat reaches the correct temperature, then the black plunger in the bypass is lowered and blocks off the bypass so the oil cooler gets full flow instead of partial. In the event that the thermostat fails, the oil cooler will still function, but in a less effective way. My camera is too large for Amazon and I wouldn't be able to upload pictures.
It'd be nice if the thread adapters came with it. The item is small in size and good in It'd be nice if the thread adapters came with it.
I like it.
If you closely examine all these types of plates, you will find that there is only one issue, if for some reason the thermostat goes out. This is going to result in three things. There is no oil flow from cooler 2 to cooler 1 The oil will not flow through the filter because it must pass the thermostat valve to return from the cooler loop to the filter inlet, and then it must continue to flow through Oil is not being injected into the engine. That sounds like a good idea, but I wouldn't want to risk the risk of the valve failing to open. If you want one without a thermostat, you should get it.
