100-110 degrees and a turbo is hell on oil regardless so I'm guessing there was an improvement with the 13 row. Do you have a data before the cooler? Give us some time and we'll come up with a solution for you guys. Only question is how big of a core can we fit someplace where it'll get air.

Two of us tried the standard mocal 7" laminova and it performed worse than the 13 row setrab. Temps would increase rapidly when getting on it with no cap in sight.

Still, 260 is too hot. a 20 row setrab would work I am sure but you are blocking the radiator and coolant might get even more out of control (we were seeing 230F coolant that same day and the stock coolant needle was definitely climbing). |

The other option is mounting it behind one of the fog light mounts and build some ducting to go to a cooler back there. The question is just how big of a cooler can you fit back there. |

For reference, the Greddy oil cooler works exceptionally well, but it's by far the most expensive kit I've seen on the market, with a retail of $1200. @sw20kosh: We got the temps rock solid stabile, finally, on @ImperiousRex's car. I don't think we've ever seen over 235F, even in 110F ambient weather. @Maximal: the car in question with the Greddy oil cooler also has a Greddy turbo kit, which just COOKS oil. The Jackson Racing oil cooler setup that we use on our car uses a 9 series 15 row Setrab core, which offers slight more cooling capacity than a 6 series 19 row cooler. |

What do you think allows the greddy unit to enjoy so much success? Is there anywhere I can read up on the details of what you guys did for his setup cooling wise? |
