thats wired so why does takegawa sell oil cooler kits with the slim hoses? is there proof of the bottleneck with the 3an slim hose? i was thinking of getting the slim hoses but now because of your thread im stuck again,so i got to figure this out.what do you think Z am i wrong? |
Takegawa makes the slimline hoses because people think they look cool. However, they also make the more expensive allegri hoses that are comparable to running Earl's hoses.
While I can't speak for others, I want oil to be flowing and not backing up in the oil cooler so it can run efficiently. The optimal setup is running the Takegawa clutch that utilizes the thermostat so the engine gets up to temp before it flows to the cooler.
I'm not a fan of the tiny slimline hoses. Your opinion may differ.
