Do RacerX oilcooler fit Grimmspeed intake?
 
Everything is in the title! Want to know if the Racer X fits the grimmspeed intake since i want to get the Ft86MS oilcooler and they use the racer x sandwich plate.

If not can anyone comment what oilcooler fits the grimmspeed intake? Did some search and i think the perrin and mishimoto fits.. but i dont want to get the mishimoto and perrin is more expensive even tho i know its good quality

Far as I remember, none quite fit. Its up to the connectors at the plate, not the plate itself. Mishimoto uses banjo fittings which give a good bit of room... 45 degree AN fittings also seem to allow room... I remember all of them possibly needing a little bit of extra clearance.

Perrin does NOT fit. It uses a standard mocal plate that doesn't fit with AN fitting or banjo fittings. The only possible option that I didn't try would be if it went straight over the oil cap but that would be a PITA to change your oil lol

I run the racerx sandwich plate and the grimmspeed intake. The AN fitting closest to the grimmspeed airbox eventually rubs a hole in it.

Answer i was looking for thanks! I order the oil cooler and will be installing it when ill receive it. IMO shouldnt be a problem if theres is a small hole in the intake box.

Would JR radiator/Oil cooler fit with the Grimmspeed then?

Exactly - there is no "clean side" vs. "Dirty side" of a box with a cone filter in it :) The factory box it wore a hole in was a different story. The hole it rubs is on the clean side of the air stream :(
