Hybrid_From_Hell Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Hi all, I am going to shove a cooler on, .....come what F may. Not only will a cooler help with the cooling, but with the extar pipework coller itself etc you also actually increase the amount of oil in the system available for cooling and that helps as well .... But The JED has a special Oil Housing base plate, modfied for the engine, I am going to find out how key it is I keep this, so excluding this, can you post up what you have, what you have seen, what options are out there to fit a cooler take off plate / options etc to a Non Serp Type V8 rover. I know of only a few, there are the replacement plates and the sandwich bit between the pump body and base etc, but I know there are loads more and some really nice options out there,.......... but I don't know about them ! At the moment my Filter is in the normal place, some of these options reloacte this which maybe fine, but again options etc would be brillinat Pics and descriptions would be good, along with ideas of prices, guess I'll be using 1/2 BSP size pipey worky .......

landmannnn Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 In my experience 3 options, sandwich plate between filter and pump similar sandwich plate with remote filter mgb v8 pump bottom for remote filter (first two £20, 3rd £100) You can go over the top here but options you could do: watercooled or air cooler thermostat additional pressure gauge temperature gauge remote oil sump Demon tweeks is a good site to browse.....

steve_d Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 All the bits you will need you can get from Think Automotive. http://www.thinkauto.com/ Sandwich plate is OK but many have issues with the filter/axle interface. A remote oil thermostat is a good idea because over cooling can be as bad as over heating. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoggyN Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 A remote oil thermostat is a good idea because over cooling can be as bad as over heating. I have a sandwich plate on my TR7 V8 that incorporates a thermostat. Its very neat and saves four extra pipe joints. Linky IIRC RV8s need 5/8" fittings.

101sean Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 101 filter mount has cooler take off and points the filter up out of the way. You'll have trouble finding one though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
