Does someone have the specific Setrab part # for an oil cooler that will fit on the drivers side inlet?
Oil Cooler
- Thread starter mcfling
- Start date
I don't know the Setrab part # but I was going to use an Earls oil cooler from Fran that fits the inlets - if you're interested i'd sell it to you even cheaper just to move it out of my basement (never used other than for mockup purposes)

I have the Racing Innovations thermostatclly controlled adapter (180 degrees). I spoke with them today after Will had discussed how it might be best to incorporate my Accusump in conjunction with an oil cooler that uses the thermo adapter. I was thinking… adapter "out" to the cooler… from the cooler to a "T" that routes to the Accusump and back to the "in". However, Will's concern was how the Accusump may act when oil is diverted below 180 degrees. Has anyone tried this set up?

This should solve the problem:
1. Oil Accumulator Adapter for LS Engines. Oil will constantly run from this adapter.
2. Then it will run it to a thermostat like this Mocal unit:
BAT, Inc. - MOCAL Oil Coolers
3. Then run the lines to and from the thermostat to the oil cooler.
4. On the line running out of the thermostat back to the engine, plumb in the t-check valve and the accusump.
If anyone has the Setrab model I would appreciate it.

I use the Setrab 625 cooler
I did have a two 650's but each would have to have been shoe-horned in the space in front of the rear wheels to get direct airflow and in the end was a bit overkill. I have since replaced them with two 640's. Part number 50-640-7612. You may want the -an adapters and rubber bushed mounts too.
An n/a LS powered car may only need one cooler but my needs are a bit different with a turbo powered rotary.

Is one 625 sufficient for an LS7, or are two required?
I am planning to install the dry sump tank on the right side, which would not leave any room for a cooler by the right side scoop.

One is more than sufficient. There would be less plumbing if you mounted it on the drivers side. Be sure to add a thermostat control valve. Many C6 Corvette owners complain that in the spring and fall in cooler temperatures their oil doesn't get up to temperature with a remote cooler.

Yep! Drivers side...

Here is what it will look like in that area. I built a shroud around it to force the air through it.
