Aftermarket oil cooler location?

[Adam86]

Where is yours if you still have a side mount intercooler?

Pics would be great

the Trust/GREX kit mounted the cooler on a bracket on the gearbox (there are unused tapped holes already there) with a little scoop and mesh to protect it



most other japanese cars you see have them mounted under the rear number plate



which, while it looks cool, means running much longer hoses to-from (£££ if you buy proper aeroquip etc hose) and it's kind of open to the elements there

Ive got that phoenix power kit that mounts under the bumper but not the brackets.

I realy wanna have it mounted like that for jdm tyteness, but then I keep thinking it would be easy to get damaged by a rock being kicked up.

Mine is probably going to be located where the smic goes because i have a chargecooler.

I put together what I think is a neat install there, using the standard shroud... but I'll try to post a new thread rather than hijack Adam's

Thats a pretty neat setup though. I dont think the PP cooler is anywhere near that big.

Does it take much longer to get to temp, or does the thermostatic thingy make a big difference.

The thermostat is essential if you're ever going to get your oil remotely up to temperature. Yes, it does seem like it takes a little longer to get up to temperature, but not dramatically. I've got an 80ºC thermostat on there and if I were to build a system again, I'd choose a higher temperature stat; 90ºC would be preferable I think.
