    Default intercooler oil cooler radiator info

    Car -ae71

    motor -sr20

    use -skids

    problem - what i was questioning is positioning my oil cooler in between my inter-cooler and radiator, the issue im seeing is the air is just gona get hotter as it passes through the inter-cooler and oil-cooler and then finaly reach the radiator,
    so what i want to know is your opinion on the position and also whats the best way to mount an oil cooler, with the inlet and outlet on its side or to the top or bottom

    theres a couple of pics on how i was gona do it but unsure

    the oil cooler will recieve turbulant air flow + also restricted airflow if mounted their, side ways up ways cross ways, doesnt matter, as long as the air can pass freely through the core it will do its job well.
    and just imagine if you had to tighten one of those fittings
