Fan powered oil cooler
« on: January 22, 2011, 10:18:36 AM »

Hey Guys,

I know there are alot of threads on oil coolers and I have been searching them all morning.  I remember finding a fan powered oil cooler but it is not the Ultra Cool.  Any help finding the other oil cooler would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,
Andy

I believe the one you are looking for is from Enigma Concepts Inc. Their website is under construction currently but I talked to them just the other day. They call it CAOCS 1. It is two parts one is as you described with a fan in one end blowing across and out the other end and the other part is another fan behind the horn cover. I posted some pictures of it installed on my bike here is the link http://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?topic=54574.0
 I would be glad to answer any questions you have . I am happy with their product, very good people to work with.

Rooster, You have had this cooler on for a while now. Is there a big difference in your oil temps? I'm considering this unit. Doesn't take away from the lines of the bike and with the fans should work at any speed. Big review in the N.C. Full Throttle mag this month. Any more information or opinions would be appreciated.
thanks,
Ben :nixweiss:

The fan comes on at about 165 on the gauge in my fairing. Warmed up running temp is 225 and so far have not seen it go over 232 in town bumping through the lights where it use to rise up to 245 or more depending how long you have to set. I have had it for just one thousand miles so far and outside temps not over 75. At about 70 outside after going through the lights and getting on the freeway and a few miles down the road have watched the oil gauge drop as low as 210. I will say my motor runs cooler with this setup than before so it was a good investment for me. I don't think any product is going to give you a 30 or more degree drop overall but in some circumstances it gets close. It is set up to let your motor warm up properly before coming on. And keep in mind I have a Jim's 131. They have installed these on sidecar bikes and Trikes and have seen great results on them.

This is nice, unfortunately the fans together only put out 48CFM where the Big Sky Fans put out 96CFM
