what are the various take offs on the tree for, some time back i noticed my oil cooler had been disconnected and im starting to wonder if i put it back right. i did look on the manual and that didnt seem to help.... its all a bit not comlicated but messy down there.

right after further investigation im assuming the oil comes from the pump through the tree through the filter and then out each port to the various differnt locations there is one that goes directly from the tree to the sump about 10mm internal diameter that is the one i connected upto for the cooler.

Right now more confused looked at one off the engine didnt find what I expectred. But minr is def not quite right. How does the stock series one jdm oil cooler route?

60 veiws and no one?

Still nothing :(

Still nothing :(

 

Did you wanna have a look through my manual buddy? You could also have a look at phils now manual z ;-)

I looked through the manual not much use and phils csr just confused me more lol. you will see next month is his car on the floor now?

right after trawling and asking onthe us site i finally got to the bottom of this. there is a single hose that runs off the oil tree feeds to a hard line on the subframe then a flexi into the oil cooler the returns via the same method to the sump pan, via the smaller diameter hose on the drivers side. so whilst mine isnt plumbed in as factory its still doing the correct thing. the oil cooler runs in tandam with the oil circulation the block you can if you wish wind out the standard take off for the cooler instal a sandwhich plate with a thermostatic switch as per z1s kit to run a full flow version where all the oil is cooled by the cooler not 50% and more oil is pumped through the block. i think what i will do is pull out all the oem 20 year old tangle and re run the lines directly. i may even utilise the hard lines from the autobox when i do the manny conversion.
