additional oil cooler

[stockers 1]

hi all, whats the best oil cooler to install?

Mocal one like mine, you're best off removing the heat exchanger cos that just defeats the object, and if you have aircon you'll need the kit designed by the phirm so the take off plates clears the aircon pipes.

Quick question for the guys that have one,

when you mount it do the feed pipes need to be at the top

or at the bottom like this one

?

Or doesnt it matter?

It looks like a mocal kit to me, and as you have air con the take off plate will foul your a\c lines, kinda back to square one!!!

Steve how much was yours fitted?

well i you mount it with the pipes down,the you can´t count on the dip stick cause when your car is started,the cooler will need about aliter too fill,and every time you turn the car off it runs back in too the enginen,so the is as risk that you will run with too little olie on the motor,the positiv thing is every time you change the olie it all comes out.

if you mount i with the pipes up,the first time you fill up with olie u will need a liter more,cause u need too fill the cooler.here you can count on the dip stick.

i wouldn´t fitt it with the pipes down cause you never know if the enginen uses olie,other then it maybe too late.

but thats just my appinion.

I mounted mine here with the pipes down the way, didn't think it would drain due to the thermostate thats included in the kit, thought it would act as a one way valve??

the retur doesn´t have a one way valve,only the one too the olie cooler,if it only a half a liter(0,5) then it´s no biggy,cause there is still 0,5liter too min. mark.but as i understand it the charger does this with the olie so if you have both then there is a very good reasen too flip the cooler.

but when mounting the other way it will give you an increase in olie capastive,that´s a plus.

forgot to add that if you buy it from stealth it is more expensive than other places, that is because you get extra bits that allow you to fit it to your car and still run the original cooler also. These parts are custom made by Stealth and you won't find them in the other kits thus you may have problems fitting

My oil temp in now max 92 on a very hot day and the car really getting used, the only other mod in this area is a neuspeed thermostat.
