Is there a high performance version of the stock oil cooler ? I'm installing a 2.0 liter motor and I am hesitant to stick the stock 1.7 oil cooler on if there is a better alternative. I know there are plenty of external cooler options, but the car is for the street, and I don't think I need to go that route....

Not really...there ARE high volume oil pumps.....there ARE add on external coolers. Are you having or expecting higher than 210F oil temps?

If you don't want an external cooler, make sure all the tin is put together and that the shroud and flaps are working. Use the right grade of oil for the outside temp and call it a day.
Or put an external oil cooler on if you think you need it. |

I have been working on one of these for the past 18 months or so.. We have had issues with sourcing the cores for them but have recently found a new source and are testing them again to make sure they have maintained their benefits.. Its hard to tell now that we are in the winter months..

It's never winter here. 1 day of lapping at NPR will tell all. I get the oil to 260 where it hovers for most of the day.

The 1.7 never ran too hot, but I'm transferring eveything to a rebuilt 2.0 and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to upgrade if something was out there since oil doubles as coolant.....

If your engine is not already built then just full flow it with one of Jake's kits.
If you are just going to run around town and down the freeway keeping it under 95 - 100 MPH you should not have excessive oil temp problems. what's hopped up? or is it just rebuilt stock. |

Use synthetic oil and disconnect your oil temp gauge. LOL
