Curious, if you do need to mount the oil cooler in front of the intercooler, is it better to have it as close as possible to the intercooler to reduce turbulence? Or is it smart to have room in between the cores? I’d like to keep both fogs so upfront is my only option.

If you must keep the fogs, a better option is to use the Harrop Engineering oil cooler kit. A friend of mine is tracking his Harrop SC'd car and is having no problems with temps whatsover.

It is not ideal for aerodynamics but if you need to cool things down..

Thanks, I havent seen that setup before. I cant find any photos of it installed but im guessing it is mounted horizontally on the splash guard and the metal cover acts as an air dam for it? I currently have the Jackson Racing oil cooler so I'm sure I can modify it similarly.

I have the e-force supercharger and mounted my oil cooler behind the hole for the driving light. Also have the AT transmission cooler on the passenger side.

Yes this is how it mounts. My friends temp data is impressive.

Interesting, i might go move my oil cooler to the side and knock out one of the fog lights.

You can also check on FBM's oil cooler. It's a 19 row and says it will work with other turbo kits. I have one, it mounts to the left side of the intercooler if your facing it.

Have you tracked your car with the FBM oil cooler? If so what temps are you seeing?

Not yet because my car isn't ready. I still gotta do a couple things before I take it to the track. Sorry.

I tried to relocate my Jackson racing kit but due to the line length and angle of the fittings, I couldn’t lay it horizontally like the Harrop kit. So for now I settled on keeping it vertical. I placed it forward so it won’t interfere with the edelbrock kit. I also moved it as far to the driver side as I could to try and reduce the blocking of the LTR for the edelbrock. Hopefully this will be a compromise that won’t induce high IAT. I’ll post results when I install the kit. Anyone have an idea of what my IAT should be relative to ambient temps?

Bump for questions.
Setrab 619 or Setrab 915?
Asking bc the 2 kits I’m considering are the Jackson racing and racer x. Car is not a daily and will see track and drifting. @sw20kosh @CSG Mike

*edit*
Car is turbocharged.

915 between the two.

Code Monkey · 10-10-2018, 03:15 PM

^ I know that Mike would pick the 915, but in terms of frontal area and volume the 619 and 915 are virtually the same.

I’m more interested in how the cores differ, capability of cooling and pressure drop. just overthinking like I always do lol
