oil cooler

Post by lomsavage » Mon Aug 22, 2011 1:27 am

hi folk,

as some have previously said the 1327 will need a cooler, question is "how big"

would an efe one do or would i be better off going for a slabby one, not worried about fitings/lines as yet just what sort of size it needs

also have read the stuff on oss re efe filter cover/blanking plug/no mod

opions please

Isn't there a Setrab cooler for sale on OSS? That'd defo do well. The EFE cooler might be too small, as it's designed for 1135 ccm.

Think you'll need bigger than the EFE cooler H as the big blocks do run really hot.

The EFE oil filter cover does the trick, there's a piece somewhere by a bloke called 'Arnaud' which covers it well, think he's on OSS still.

Yeah efe cover is cool for the the kat motor. It has the little cut out. As for the cooler. Efes is to small. I would even consider a deep well sump mate.

Hi... im running/ran a 13 row serck marston cooler on my 1428cc turbo Kat, it runs the full width between the lower fairing panels & looks neat.... & it seemed to run ok without overheating... so recon this size would do you.... i also have a deeper sump mod on the bike too, so it holds about 800cc more oil than standard.
Hope this helps.
All the best Deanotek.
