The unit won't be installed until ERA gets the engine in the car. I'm not going to be using the remote filter but the standard sandwich filter mount provided by them.
The Tstat is designed to be mounted between the
oil cooler and the filter housing or adapter plate on the engine if using a remote filter. The unit has 4 ports and uses an O ringed adapter in each of them to accomodate the attachment of the lines, one each in and out for the
oil cooler and one each in and out for the lines coming out of the engine. The adapters can be ordered with -8, -10 or -12 fittings for the lines.
Oil from the engine is routed through the Tstat housing and back into the engine until the temperature reaches 210-215 degrees when the Tstat opens and allows oil from the cooler to connect with the system. Once the oil temp drops below the 210-215 mark the Tstat closes again until the oil reaches the appropriate temp again then the whole sequence starts again.
