Here's my setup......seems to work really well. I've never had to turn the fans on! I installed the fans just in case I got stuck in traffic jams, but even when stuck in traffic it doesn't get too hot.

I am using a Earl's 60 row, pn 26012 on my 3.0. It is 18x7" with 12an fittings. It's application rating is for competition vehicles, not some other application. Also bought the pn 1760 mounting bracket. It is front mounted at a slight angle, boxed in and I have a two speed fan housing mounted on the cover. Free flowing air at speed goes through the fan assm. and I exit the hot air out under the car. If oil temp starts to get too high, I can use low or high speed of the fan to pull the air through the cooler. I agree with others, the bigger the better on oil coolers. I had considered using a RX7 cooler, but thought better of it.

Here's a pic of what I'm doing. Just finished what I hope will be a decent heater system. I'm using headers, so no heat boxes. What I plan to do is use the hot air from the oil cooler to heat the cabin. I have a hose attached to the exhaust side of the fan and run it to a "T" and feed the stock heater hoses attach in the front trunk. Turn the fan on low or high and pump in the warm air without the oily smell.
I know that it will take a while to warm up the oil enough to get to the cooler, so I have a grill cover/winter front that closes off fresh air and warm up the engine sooner............Theory?............ |
