cobrav8 Member 1,969 Member For: 20y 2m 29d Gender: Male Location: New Zealand Posted 01/08/05 10:04 PM Share Posted 01/08/05 10:04 PM Have any of you installed an engine oil cooler on your cars?I am thinking of doing some towing (manual car) and thought that it might be a good idea to keep the oil cool to help with the life of the Turbo.The F6 Typhoons have coolers dont they? Anyone have part numbers and prices for the parts, or alternatives that are an easy fit?

Posted 01/08/05 10:40 PM Share Posted 01/08/05 10:40 PM I bought one off Ian, (Goldie) it mounts up the back + runs Oil through braided lines, also has a thermo controlled fan so it's not running all the time. I like his design because it keeps the front free for the radiator intercooler etc (it's already crowded) and the T is borderline for cooling capacity, as anyone who has had a track day will tell you!I'd recommend one of Goldies....err..there's a thread here somewhere, can't find it....

I have this in a dry sump system for my Cobra, and the replacement cost of the lines was horrendous.I will have a look for a forward mounting area I think.

I went with the braided lines but Goldie will do up plain line set if you want. I really could not find anywhere else to mount the cooler, Harasan suggested removing the foglights and mounting in there, a good Idea, but not quite stock lokking.... After a track day, the T would cook by the start of the third lap and where I live it gets pretty hot. I would suggest not mounting infront of the IC or radiator.....Anyways keep us informed of how you go with it, id be interested to know.
