Looking for a price on a -10 oil thermostat.

Cheers

oil thermostat?

You wanna do a gauge?

[nt_a_foz]

Negative..

A thermostat as in a thermostat.

On my last setup the oil was getting too cold.

If you have a inline thermostat then oil will only go through the cooler if its over the certain temp...

Just like water...

wont that stop the oil form flowing totally? and unless you got a oil temp sensor on the BEB or near it would be to late by the time it switches back?

aswell as no oil pressure when its closed?

i think haha just checking?

[gotasuby]

when they are closed they dont allow much oil through the cooler. when the oil heats up it opes and puts all the flow through the cooler. trademe had one or 2 last time i checked

[nt_a_foz]

no i dont know how they work exactly there will be a bypass or whatever like a waterpump/water thermostat

but they do work haha.

Gotasuby couldnt see any when i just had a look on trademe

[pl0x]

oh ic just slowing the oil?

mhm i still dont like the idea of trying to make the oil hotter lol...

what was wrong with your ice cream lid haha

Edit: Oh a bypass, still dont understand how it would work tho lol??

and wouldnt you have to make sure it was open during/after an oil change? sounds like a pain lol

[gotasuby]

they never close fully so air bubbles dont get in the oil when it opens. very good idea if you have an oil cooler and daily drive your car

The problem is my oil is far to cold on the road with the cooler as is

Aint that just a sandwich plate?

[gotasuby]

it says it also has a thermo stat in it. you would need to check thread size though

[PhatRS]

The ones on TM are permacool ones I think or B&M, this is the guy that normally has them Im sure.

Id rather that it actually worked properly haha

Get a smaller oil cooler then.

[nt_a_foz]

i already got a small one...

Any car with a oil cooler without thermostat will run 2 cold on the street basiclly as it dont get hot enough...

I could just cover the core with something but then i got to take it off when needed and thats a pain

Gotcha before you could edit!! ;D

Sweet as, thermostat time then. Obviously you're keeping it, cos if you were selling it, you wouldn't care if the new owner had cold oil.

thats what i said when he called me today. the old brad would have had a dirtbike by now or atleast a racecar

[nt_a_foz]

fuck you cunt haha...il get a bike eventually whether it has a motor or not is a different story...

Well i dont care if new owner has cold oil but i do if it fucks out before it has a new owner haha

[Optical]

that nissan one has a thermostat but the thread pitch is different to subarus so wont bolt up

those in-line thermostats work ok, keep an eye on trademe

easiest option is to import a mocal or setrab sandwich plate with a thermostat in it. i cant find anyone selling them locally but they are cheap enough to bring in from US online stores

[nt_a_foz]

any particular place in the usa to look in particular optical??? the places i looked at where i got my pistions/rods from didnt have them

[Stoffa]

road and track in lower hutt (welli) supply mocal stuff

[nztintin]

this may seem dumb but does you oil actually get hot enough to need the cooler?
