    the sticker is aimed fairly at the VicPolice force.... its had some 'interesting reactions' on several occasions......

    Funny thing is...... they ALL see the sticker .... all have a little chuckle .... and not one has ever noticed the trumpet blowoff valves

    :rofl:

    have a nice day sir....... :br:

    :D

    Much appreciated Kingy. That's a good setup you have there :thumbup:

    Going back to your idea to fabricate a s/steel lower radiator pipe with a heat exchanger tube inside it, are
    there no ready made heat exchangers available that would do the job? I'm thinking industrial process, farm equipment, trucks etc here.
    Actually, I'll ask my local hydraulic systems Guru about it tomorrow.

    And that writing on your radiator cover, priceless :rofl:

    I remember the first time I saw your engine bay. I started laughing and you were getting ready to chastise me coz you
    thought I was laughing at your engine. But it was actually the "message to the VIC Police" that brought me undone :D

    HI Guys I used a Koyo rad but had the oil cooler put back into it for quick heat up and I was going to add a external one as well with a bypass to it when it go hot enough. Just my idea . Cheers mark.

    Been Windows shopping for oil cooling system parts, found some interesting stuff.

    Mocal brand external oil cooling thermostats, can be used for transmissions too -

    Another type, available from SuperPlus here in Aus. No prices on their site, will look into it.
    http://www.superplus.com.au/home/ on page 98 of their catalogue.

    This is interesting, an industrial type 3 way valve to do the same job -

    No info on price or availability yet, have emailed a query to them. Pics, diagrams, specs from their site -

    Just for Kingy, heat exchangers. Not cheap, and probably not needed if you use a thermostatic valve??

    If anyone has tried any of these products or setups before, what were your findings?
