Hey guys,

Does anyone know what the standard thread type for the metro turbo oil cooler is?

Id like to buy this (enless any of you has one similar/smaller for sale)

and want to know if my hoses will fit onto it,

I bought these hoses:

I wanted one for when I went on track or up pod, had plans to cover it when on the road?

Would I just use a standard 1275 pipe that goes from filter to the block?

you may find ( like i did and many other i believe ) an oil cooler is not needed,

BUT, i run a sumpguard and about as low is you can go there is no air flow around the box in my settup and i could (very very just) get away without one for everything but motorway driving

a new 13row dropped my temps by 45degc @ 70mph constant thats behind the head light and nicely ducted

Yes i moved to the darkside *happy*

mines going to be running 120bhp and I want to use it for track days as well as blasts up pod, mainly being my daily driver though.

Standard ride height and no sump guard so shouldnt need one tho right?

If using for the track go for a cooler. Mine gets up to 120 degrees with 10 row cooler when giving it a pasting round the track.

right, well in that case, do any of you guys know the thread type for the oil cooler hoses I have or the standard metro cooler?

MiniMole, which cooler did you buy and which hoses have you got?
