I'm just wanted to see if anyone install a oil cooler, if so how was it setup? and where do you put it i was thinking of putting mine behind the grill on my car.

cheers

i have one, chills infront of my rad, right where the grill "should" be. works well with braided lines

i need to mount it properly though, been cable tied for months ROFL although with like 100 cable ties so its actually pretty solid

Brade is not cheap.. and the fittings are like 25 - 30 bux each and u need 4 or 6 for each length of brade which u need 3 lengths of.. u need to get a relocation kit. or buy it all individual, i personally don't know of any good kits i could suggest thou someone would. The core is prolly the cheapest... :confused:

I'm after a good sandwich plate aswell, a Full flow aftermarket style, so i can buy a core, mount that then run my own lines. I don't think i will bother with filter relocation because its pretty easy to get to where it is. If anybody knows a good full flow sandwich plate that fits let us know :2thumbs:

also consider getting a sandwich plate with an inbuilt thermostat. OR matbe sheild the whole oil cooler surface with plate in the colder months.

^^^ yeah thats a good point.

i don't really think there is much of a need for an oil cooler on the street anyway, because oil is no good if its too cold anyway.

thus the need for a thermostat

if you go for a easy drive on a cold winters night, with your cooler flowing 100%....you are more than likely slowly killing your engine.
