I would like to put a oil cooler on my car. Is there any way to mount the lines off the oil filter so I dont have to remove the engine? I want to retain the factory cooler and add another cooler under the engine cover. I have a engine lid that has 32 small louvers stamped in it to allow more air to come thru to help the heat build up. This is not a race car but the oil temp needs to come doen when I drive for several hours.

Oil coolers come in various sizes and flavors.
For a car that is track-driven at all, you are well advised to put it up front. Most reports (including my previous car) say that the under-trunk or under-engine-lid locations just don't work well at all. You might see a 20-30F reduction but that isn't enough for hardcore use. I suppose a fan/duct lashup might help a little extra. Without an external cooler, my -4 cars would shoot to 250-300F in less than 15 minutes of track driving. That is NOT good... |
