help! need pn that is stamped on M696 oil cooler

[desmoworks]

i wish i could pass this deal on to the rest of you guys, but its a supplier thru my work and the guy is doing it as a favor.

also i have a feeling its only the cooler and i'll probably end up buying the rest of the parts thru the dealer. hopefully, they sell them seperate...

All pieces are separately packaged with part numbers and then put into 1 box to form the kit. I didn't look up any prices on individual parts, but I'll guess that it will be very expensive to buy piece by piece...

Never fear, we are almost done with an aftermarket oil cooler kit for the 696 Monster.  Right now we are testing out 3 possible configurations.  Ultimately when we are done we will offer 2 different kits. One will be for extreme climates, i.e. where we live (PHX) and a moderate climate version.  The extreme version runs cooler than the Ducati oil cooler. Our pricing will be a bit less than the Ducati kit as well.

Who is "we"? Any chance the ETA is before summer?

[hcomp]

We are Intense Motorsports / Power Lab and H Competition.  We do everything from fabrication to complete competition and race car builds. I have been both driving and building race cars for the better part of 18 years and go karts for 6 years.  I finally purchased a 696 last summer and have done all my own mods (including coring and welding my own exhaust).  The DP oil cooler kit is a decent kit, however it is pricey. With the right sourcing, know how and testing you can produce a superior product for less expense.  Yes the kit will be ready before summer and more than likely ready before the end of March.

Where are you located? Do you have a website? When the oil coolers are ready to go, how would I go about getting one?

I saw your post about coring the mufflers before and was going to do it until I saw the Mivv Suono exhaust. What other 696-related mods have you done? I hate to thread jack, so is there another thread about your shop or your mods?

[hcomp]

Yes we have a website intensepower.com . They will be for sale on the website when they are finished and tested. The mods are tail chop on S2R, mirrors, lights, exhaust coring and soon we might be doing a belly pan for the 696 as well. We do not have any motorcycle stuff on the website yet, but we will when the oil cooler testing is done. I do not have a thread about our shop yet.

alrighty then. now you are going to make me wait on a belly pan. can you sent me plans so i can decide.

Here are the pics of the current prototype that is on my 696.  I am going for a long ride on Sunday to see how hot we can get my 696 with this oil cooler.




Here are some pics with the left side cover off.

looks like your tubing is a bit short. the DP tubing runs up the side cover with a couple of clips that hold it.

i have the euro shroud as well. how is that going to work with were your tubing is coming up?

[OstOgBajer]

I've got the Euro shroud as well. It looks like if he rotates the valves (on the cooler in the second pic) counterclockwise a bit, and increases the length of the tubes, it would fit with the shroud. Some clips to hold it in place like the DP version would be nice.

Is that the moderate or extreme temp version you are testing? The cooler looks a little smaller than the DP one.

It looks good, as a prototype I am sure you are just checking to see if it works. Then you can worry about modifying the plumbing later

trust me not criticizing, giving constructed input.

There are three reasons the tubing is routed in this configuration.  We are using teflon lined tubing for testing since it can take temperatures up to 500 F. It is also a bit less pliable than rubber tubbing like the DP kit has.   Second, the owner of the shop liked the look of them standing out a bit, thought it looked more aggressive. Third, we are trying to keep the straightest shot just in case we miscalculate the size of the oil cooler needed (fluid likes straight paths of travel).  We can reroute the lines like the DP kit and do the clips if that is what people like.  I am going to take some pics of the whole kit and see what everyone thinks.  The lines do work with the charcoal canister in place right now, I am curious to see how the lines are routed with the euro shroud. Anyone that can send pics? PM me if you have some! Thanks in advance!  As far as the size of the oil cooler, it is bigger in area than the DP kit. The DP kit is a 7 pass cooler that is roughly 6" x 4" x 1.4" = 34" sq, The H competition kit is a 10 pass cooler 6.5" x 3" x 2" = 39" sq. We may only do the 1 kit since it works well in moderate temps as well.  Our kit also is braced by the valve cover so it is braced on both the top and the bottom of the cooler and does not rely on just the plastic shroud for support. There is the rundown on the prototype.

are you  using the frame mounts underneath the shroud at the top of the oil cooler?

[hcomp]

Yes we are using the frame mounts, and the valve cover for bracing. Here are some pics with all the covers on.
