..this is the point I had a hiccup..after understanding I was getting a lot more power/performance with the motor rebuild I thought it would be prudent for me to add an oil cooler. Unfortunately, this realization came after I had it painted the car! So, here we go cutting up some nicely newly painted metal…oops

So, here we go cutting up some nicely newly painted metal…oops Hey Frankie - its water under the bridge at this point but you did not need to do that cutting. I have one of Eric's 2.3i engines in my car. I have a simple Setrab oil cooler in the car under the rear trunk. It keeps my oil temps well in check. i have the fan pack I can put on if needed, but I'll take 200 miles on hot humid summer days this summer and oil never got above 220 with the passive setup. With the fan packs it never got above 115. Zero cutting needed for this setup. Its simple, and its effective. The Setrab /NASCAR cooler is a bit more expensive then the cheaper coolers on the market. But no metal work, no complicated plumbing, and a fully usable front trunk. You already have the metalwork done, so it does not make sense to take that back. BUT you can stop there if you want and keep the entire front trunk for storage. I've found this to be helpful for taking trips in the car with my GF. By the way, you are going to love the engine. Its the same amount of power as a 2.7 /6, but minus about 100 pounds. Food for thought. Zach |
