Greddy Oil Cooler
Purchased this product from CounterSpace Garage and haven’t seen much information on it so figured some may be interested in seeing some pics and getting some information.
CounterSpace Garage has provided great customer service thus far, and I’d not hesitate to buy from them again, especially given their experience. This is not an ad for them, though. I paid full price for the oil cooler. Anyway, here are some initial pics and thoughts. I only have a little bit of time to work on the car right now so don’t have a full install tutorial and will simply share what I have noticed so far. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...fd431989c4.jpg Here’s the area where it will sit. It’s offset to the passenger side and looks like it will have minimal negative impact to condenser/radiator airflow. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ff08676940.jpg Here’s the area behind where the cooler sits. The only obvious space for air to flow after exiting the cooler is noted by the arrow. I’m sure it would add a lot of cost, but I wonder if a vent in the wheel well might make any difference?

And here are some close-up shots of the cooler itself with shroud installed.

The kit comes with foam for all 4 sides of the cooler where it meets the shroud. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

The buttonhead fasteners are a nice touch with the shroud. I assume they are better for airflow, though I can’t imagine how much. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Hardware comes complete. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...2985bb8e0c.jpg The only issue I’ve noticed so far is that 2 of the bolts are too short to fit with the bracket installed. I had some extra bolts laying around, which are slightly too long, but better than too short. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

The kit comes with this bracket which slightly rotates the washer fill neck. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I haven’t finished the install yet, but the lines will run in the same configuration of other front mount coolers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Greddy Oil Cooler
The horns get relocated, and you have to free the ambient temp sensor from it being taped together with the horn harness, but those are the only real non “bolt-on” issues I’ve noticed, which are very minor.

It looks similar to my Blitz oil cooler. They are very effective to the point that it may need to be blocked in cooler conditions. But you're in FL so it probably wont be a concern.lol

Sounds like the Blitz unit has a 180°F thermostat like the Greddy unit. I’m considering asking Greddy if they have a thermostat with a higher opening temp.
Like you all said, though, a 180-200°F temp with 0W20 oil should be fine on the street. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

That's why a block-off plate is advisable. |
