1990 ok w/o oil cooler?

[MADSPEED]

I'm doing a full evo III, injectors, maft, FMIC, walboro, tubular manifold, ect build up. I noticed that my oil cooler hard line is pretty pinched in two places on the inlet side line. I tried to order one from mitsu but it is discontinued. Questions are?

How could I get a new line?
Do I really need the cooler THAT much?
Could I run some high pressure fuel line?
How much pressure is ran through it?

why would you not run it? It helps and a lot of other people with out them install them. Like me. You can try and find them on Ebay or go to MachV.com They should have them and a decent price. Good luck.

Keep the cooler. Convert the lines to SS. The cooler has the same pressure as the housing since that's where its tapped into.

You NEED the oil cooler, end of story! Actually, these modified 300+hp DSMs really need a much better air/oil cooler than the stock crap but most guys don't want to spend ~$500 to keep their engines living long, happy lives

Werd.

Classifieds section and dsmtrader are good places to get new lines if you don't want to change to an SS lines.
