You want the fittings to be on TOP of the cooler, to stop gravity emptying it. You can measure the outside diameter of the pipes and see what they are based on the info on various hose sites, or Google. Personally I would remove it. Do you actually need a cooler? What oil temps are you seeing without one?

Ok i will turn i around. Without it on i see 110c with normal drive, if i push it a little it goes way over 130c with it on 80c to 85c and never over 105c if i push it in oil temp

 

A std engine seeing oil temps of 110-130c indicates that either you oil temp gauge is inaccurate, or there is something seriously wrong with your engine,

i have run big single turbo and only seen 120c after a loong full boost pull.

What Oil Temps should you see then ? I see some where between 90-100 normal driving and then 110 if I have been giving it some beans !! I presume this is normal.

 

Thats what i would call normal.

IMO thats too small, you want around 20mm ID really, or it can restrict flow.

ok, but is it normal that the thread in the oil cooler is the same on all oil coolers, because if i look on fitting and hoses, to replace my banjo bolt, they dont write thread on the fittings..

 

No you can get them in imperial, metric and American threads, you would need a thread gauge to determine what thread you have unless you can contact the company who supplied it originally.

Ok. Am gonna contakt the seller. But what about my oil pressure. Should i not worry more about it. I had it on a workshop who put a manual pressure gauge. An they messured very close to my readings. Cold engine 4.6 to 5 bar. 2700 rpm 3 bar. Wot never over 3.7 to 4.0 bar idle 0,6 - 0,7 bar

i have now confirmed the my elektronic oil pressure gauge only read 0.2 bar (3 psi) from what the mecanical reads.. so when my gauge reads 0.9 bar (13 psi) , the mecanical reads 1.1 bar (16 psi).. so what do you say to that numbers
