Okay… I found this on another 240 site so thought I would post it up on here incase anyone is interested in doing this themselves and saving a chunk of money…
Alright, here’s how to make your remote oil cooler kit from summit racing www.summitracing.com/
Parts:
- EAR-1177ERL, remote oil filter block off plate - $18.39
- EAR-2178ERL, remote oil filter mount - $43.69
- BMM-70273, 6" x 11" oil cooler - $58.39
- AER-FBM2009, (you need 6) 1/2 npt to -10 AN fittings - $6.95
- AER-FBM1034, (you need 4) 90 degree -10AN to -10AN hose end - $27.39
- AER-FCE1014, (you need 2) -10AN to -10AN hose end - $12.88
- AER-FCA1010, 10 feet of -10AN Steel braided hose - $61.95
Total: $359.44
Much better than paying $800-$1000 for a Blitz or HKS kit huh? Not to mention $18 versus $215 for a remote oil filter block off… hahaha

All the NPT to AN adaptors get threaded into the oil filter block-off plate, oil filter adaptor and oil filter. You then mount the oil filter mount wherever you want it to be located, I’d probably either put it on the frame rail in front of the alternator or on the back firewall, for easy access from below. Remember to mount them so the oil filter hangs down vertically from the mount. Then mount the oil cooler wherever you want. I am going to mount it in front of the passenger side wheel and cut a hole in my bumper for air flow, but you could also mount it in front of the radiator/intercooler. You then run the high pressu rehose from the block off plate (using both straight hose ends for the block off plate end of the hoses) to the oil filter first then to the oil cooler. Then run the return line back straight from the oil cooler to the block off plate.
Voila, DIY oil cooler system. Be sure to assemble the hoses and hose ends exactly as written in the Aeroquip instructions: http://www.aeroquip.com/pages/techinfo.html
Good luck all, and I hope this helps!
alright… here’s the new list. Got it under $300 just by buying the fittings from a different place. Go to http://www.sweetperformance.com/ for these parts at much better prices.
Parts: (part #, description, price, number you need)
- 3000110, -10AN Straight Hose End, Anodized - $6.43 (2x)
- 3009010, -10AN 90 degree Hose End, Swivel, Anodized - $13.85 (4x)
- 6050010 -10AN to 1/2" NPT fitting- $3.63 (6x)
The new total if you buy these parts from sweetperformance is: $272.46, a saving of $86.98!!!
I’m still working on getting the price even lower.
Good junkyard cooler cores come from:
- Twin turbo rx-7s
- Almost all turbo volvos
- Twin turbo supras
- Twin turbo skylines (some)
- Most large gasoline V8 trucks/vans
- Many turbo Saabs
- Rx7 fc3s oil cooler. It has a built in thermostat.
