Cooling System Capacity - Modified Magazine

Conventional heat exchangers have been available for many years, however, and the Laminova oil cooler, available from Mocal, has improved efficiency substantially. The cooler uses a proprietary manufacturing process to achieve substantial surface area in a very small package. We opted to use the 43-330 (single-core) model fitted with AN -10 oil fittings and 16mm water fittings, which we converted to AN -8 by cutting off the push-on portion and welding on a AN -8 weld-on fitting. We fabricated brackets that use the four-bolt pattern at each end of the cooler and secure to the S2000 cross beam in the engine bay. Dual-core versions are available if additional cooling capacity is required.

Once again, we turned to BAT Inc. for the remaining Mocal pieces and fittings needed to plumb the oil system. We fitted a Mocal low-profile block adapter, which is a great option compared to the typical spin-on block adapters. The low-profile adapter features a two-piece construction that allows the fittings to be clocked at any orientation and offers increased clearance - a must for most turbocharged setups and cramped engine bays. The adapter also accommodates the factory heat exchanger, further helping to reduce oil temperatures. Be sure to label the inlet and outlet ports so there's no confusion when assembling either now or in future. From the block adapter, use the outlet port to feed to the remote filter housing (-10 Startlite line). We opted to use a cast-aluminum, four-port-type filter mount (two inlets and two outlets) and fitted it with a K&N HP3001 Gold filter.

It is critical to use the correct ports on the remote filter housing to ensure there are no restrictions to oil flow. Use the following hookup to ensure any debris/contaminants are removed by the filter before feeding the oil cooler. The first inlet port is the output from the block adapter, the first outlet is the feed to the Laminova cooler, the second outlet is used for the -4 feed line to the turbocharger and the second inlet is currently plugged/unused. With the remote filter mount plumbed, simply run the final -10 line from the Laminova to the block adapter inlet and the oil system is complete. BAT Inc. was also able to supply the 1/8BSPT (British Standard Pipe Taper) fitting needed to thread into the factory oil pressure port, allowing for remote mounting of an oil pressure sensor for the Motec Advanced Dash Logger. It can be difficult when ordering to know how many 90s, straights, 45s and so on that you'll need, so the chart on the left is a complete list of all fittings and components used to assemble the S2000 system.
