Is there any difference in oil cooler adapter plates?

haaken675 · 12-01-2020, 07:56 PM

Hey everyone. I am about to pull the trigger on all the needed parts to complete my custom oil cooler setup for my '07 that doesn't have a factory cooler. So far it looks like there are only 3 options for an oil cooler adapter plate (deleting factory thermostat). Vargas, Pinnacle, and RB. Are there any differences aside from the RB version not coming wit the AN fittings?

If it's the part I'm thinking of I saw ECS has one

I have not seen/read about any differences besides the exact locations of the fitting holes isn't in the same spot from one to another, which doesn't make a difference though.

Thanks for the feedback. It's a flat piece of (expensive) metal, so i figured it couldn't be a huge difference, but you never know...

It's CNC'd, anodized, and laser-engraved for like 50 bucks; how cheap do you want it to be??
