oil cooler adapter evo.
#12
I've ran one just like that. And BTW, an Evo doesn't need the spin-on adapter. Just plumb the thing in before the filter and you're good to go. As for the twinkies, I'm not familiar with their oiling system much, but if you can just put it in between the dry sump side of the oil pump and the oil tank, you wouldn't need the adapter either.

My bike has hard lines on it.
That is why I went for the adapter.

People tell you lots of shiite. Direct plumbing will have no more effect on oil pressure than using an adapter like you have pictured. Probably less effect, actually, as there is one less thing for the oil to go through. Directly plumbing the cooler into the return line will have zero effect on your oil pressure.

FYI, I saw a company recently who was selling a spin on adapter which has a thermostat built into it ... TmvTaylor.
No idea if they are good or not. Anyone know? here or here.
Originally those set ups hid the thermostat between and under the engine and transmission. I cannot see why they would lower pressure but remember to stick a little extra oil into your engine to account for them.

The guys at jagg said it didn't need it.

I suppose it depends on where you live. The MoCo used to say we didn't need oil coolers at all. On my bike, without an oil cooler, the oil temps running across the desert in the summer would get >200, to 210+. "Most" people, like race teams, etc., don't like to see oil temps get that high, and some have a "shut it down" philosophy at temps of around 220. With the oil cooler and a high temp thermostat (165? I think, like the one in the pic above, but they make a low and high temp version) it ran about 140. With my new cooler, which has a low temp thermostat, it rarely reads 120. It is probably a bit too low, but I'll leave it. The temp is reading from the bottom of the oil tank. I also don't live in Texas anymore, so riding when it's 105F out doesn't happen very often.
