flattiefan Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 (edited) We bought a new intercooler and its a little larger than the stock one. (BTW we gota flattie LOL) well there's one problem with that... the oil cooler lines are in the way. We were just wondering if cutting the lines and replacing a much shorter rubber hose would be okay. or are the lines that long for a special reason. This is Kim btw, Im not that good at the car thing but im working at getting better OOOOHHH bad kim bad kim. it ended up not even being a oil cooler line. it was the power steering line. Cut into it anyways to find that out. sorry. Edited March 6, 2012 by flattiefan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedyquest Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 As those lines are somewhat pressurized I wouldn't suggest soft hose lines. If anything I'd suggest getting some stainless lines for it then you can run them differently. Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedyquest Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Dun Dun Dun! Just a suggestion, but next time don't cut, tear, break, remove, unscrew, or adjust anything until you know exactly what it is and the effects it will have on the car.

Komeuppance Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Common thing to do when installing an IC in a flatty is to bend the oil cooler lines a bit and relocate the oil cooler, not too hard to do on a stock size IC. -Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
