S550 Diff cooler build overview, electrical instal, and An fittings

[GTP]

I have a spare tire, jack/handle, inflator, and tire patch kit.
Must be why I never get a flat!

Thanks.

Will, do you have a diagram and/or parts list for your build? I am planning my own DIY kit right now, (-6AN lines).

Specifically looking for the check valve and its location.

Do you want a under the car install or spare tire well install. I can provide both later tonight

What size AN fitting did you guys settle on for the upper return line ?

For track use in the spare tire well I used all 8AN fittings. When I reinstalled it under the car for general street and mountain carving use, I used 6AN. Please note that if I didnt already have the cooler components I would not have reinstalled the cooler for street use. For street use I truly feel that just a exhaust wrap is all you will ever need.

Agree, if even that.

My car is DD and track use. The 180F thermal switch means it never even switches on for daily driving.

My DIY system uses -6AN lines throughout. Overall, it's a small oiling system, so...

Truth be known, I am future proofing for something I may not need (I’m likely road use only, and the pipes are already coated with a thermal coating).

I have my an old diff cover that due to a snapped bolt, has now been drilled out and counterbored for a M16 bolt conversion.

Whilst it was on the mill, I took the opportunity to add the third port :

But the thread didn’t cut perfect … (good and strong, but not smooth).

Rather than just add a bung, and ‘maybe’ try to add a fitting later (under the car, with an oily thread etc etc), I’m going to seal an AN adapter in there whilst it’s dry, on the bench, and easy to work on.

I will cap the adapter so it’s ready to go in future if needed, without having to disturb the sealed thread
