I'm looking to add a second oil cooler at the back of the car/engine compartment...has anyone else mounted coolers in the back? If so, please post pictures and results. This is for engine oil but I'll have to plumb a cooler for the trans too - so either way. I'd prefer NOT to run lines to the front if I can get around that - somebody might confuse me with a conformist. Thanks!
PS: Of interest is how you routed air to the coolers too... Tony |

Why not in the fender well? If I didnt have my intake in my pass fender and my intercooler radiator in my driver fender thats what I would do... pretty essy to scoop cold air from under the fender.

The main reason is access and size...this oil cooler is 17"x13"x4" (with fittings & fan) - it simply won't fit.
