best way to mount a oil cooler

[McLEVIN]

in those motorfix cars they arn't running bumpers. what if they had bumpers on would those oil coolers effect the cooling of the radiator?

isnt that just a spacer?

i think it might be sam-q but if anyone knows of the sandwich plate i'm sure its you.

standered on ae92 sx model with the small port 4age.

yeah but in reality how efficient does it need to be?
I mean Im running a cooler twice the size of the standard one, on a mostly standard motor, thats running a much larger radiator, in a much more open engine bay. Also where is the standard oil cooler mounted on an ae92?
Yes a part of the air is cut off. Im sure i should really mount it a foot above the roof with a thermo fan that switches on whenever i get below 150 km/h.
but i think people need to be a bit realistic. Half the people on here would say its not getting enough air flow so it won't cool enough, another half would say oh noes your not using a thermostatic sandwich plate so its going to cool to much, and the last half would say both those things in the same breath and then spontaneously combust.
Personally I'm just going to say it's what the manufacturers did, its what a fair number of people who actually run them do, and its what worked for the last two years on my setup so why stress hahaha

but that picture is simmilar to what it looks like. i'll do more seaching for a better pic.

[Sam-Q]

yes I know the one, if i have it around I will take a pic. I like the look of the 5sfe heat exchanger myself

[blake.]

5sfe heat exchanger?

can you post pics of both?

[blake.]

is that like a waater cooled one like on a subie?

[Sam-Q]

I will take some pics later if I can. It's completely different in the fact it's a water over oil heat exchanger. It's plumbed into place much like the heater core and should in theory not only make the oil heat up quicker but cool it when needed as well. I would assume when looking at it that it would only have a moderate cooling effect though.

[Sam-Q]

yes I think I remember seeing one of them when I was under the boss's WRX
