Oil adaptor/sandwich plate

[CMF_Brendon]

I have been searching everywhere and posting up this message on a few forums.
I am in the process of installing an oil cooler.
I have the cooler and lines all i need now is the adaptor/sandwich plate which sits in between the block and oil filter. on the plate there are 2 holes for allowing lines to go to the cooler.
I have asked a few shops and emailed a few places and they all wont sell the plate unless i buy it in the kit.
The kits are a rip off i reckon thats why i trying to source it all seperatley. so far with lines and cooler i have spent $100. the kits are all $400 plus.
does anyone know where i can get the adptor i need.
for SR20DET (GTIR) motor.
any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Is this $36 thing kinda what you're after??

They say it to hook up an oil gauge, but kinda looks like what you're after??

Where is the R's filter located? Mabye consider also installing a filter relocation kit? I wasn't aware that those those sandwich plates allowed enough oil to actually make an oil cooler do its job (ie: mainly for oil feeds to turbos, pressure, temp gauges etc).

Hehe. You should have bought this one here: http://www.gccorp.com.au/automotive/product_info.php?cPath=23&products_id=182

Comes with everything you need. And if you think the 250HP version isnt good enough, theres also a 450HP available. Haha

Oh well.

hey cisco that one is not the right one. i saw that one already and yes they dont allow enough oil through.

and yes Yom i could of bought one of those but those kits are a rip off. i have spent $100 and i got the cooler and lines and a bracket for the oil cooler made up. all i need is this one plate. or i need to find the plates for filter relocation. i shall keep searching.

thanks heaps anyway

Not a rip off.

No offense but I'd put $20 on the table that the permacool unit I linked you to is higher quality than whatever you bought for $100.

Anyway you might have find a way to tap into the block to do it if all else fails.

Otherwise still consider this: http://www.gccorp.com.au/automotive/product_info.php?products_id=205 and along with the remote oil filter mount you could add the cooler inline (that might encourage too much of a drop in pressure though I guess).

yeah i will consider that.
how do you know what i got is not better.
i have a mocal oil cooler and braided lines from enzed!
dont go jumping to conclusions!!
i shop around and when the price is right i buy. and so far i well under what a kit would cost. and if i can find what i need i will then consider a kit and sell the other stuff.!

You got anything from enzed for under $100? Man thats crazy. Even for a low pressure power steering pipe the bastards tried charging me $120.

You guys get it better down there when it comes to parts prices. Lots better.
