best oil cooler for 2017 airbox?
 

hi guys
anyone had the experiences on oil cooler with the 2017 air box

was thinking to buy the perrin one, and it is not fit when i check there website. any other opinion?

I know the Blitz oil cooler fits the MY17 airbox as I have a newer airbix one on my MY13.

while i am keeping search on the oil cooler

i found a jackson racing oil cooler will fit the 17 air box also the port for sensor for oil temp
i am thinking to get one of that any feedback on jackson racing product?

I just ordered the jackson racing oil cooler should be here tomorrow!

The ones I know of are the Forester XT, and Jackson Racing V2 NA and Dual Radiator versions.

I ordered Jackson racing na , but they r not mentioned the v2 tho ,
Hopefully it is the newer one :confused0068:

The v2, i was assuming it to be the updated version that fits the 17+ models

What temps have you got?

Street or track?

NA or boosted?

Typical climatic conditions?

Stock engine?

Current oil pressure data?

You need to know these things to pick oil cooler type and size, if not you can overcool, not cool enough, drop your oil pressure, etc. etc.

Actually, why do you think you need a oil cooler is the first question to answer.

This! This is what needs to be asked. My go to is the Forester XT regulator. It works great even when driving spiritedly in the Texas heat.

I use the Forester item as well, mainly for the benifit of heating up my oil from cold faster, the quicker my oil hits 90° the quicker I can make mad skids

It has worked well for when mine was NA, and so far has not seen any issues since the car has had a turbo, albeit for only a limited time and it has only seen street duties in temps ranging from 15° to 30° centigrade.

If, and only if, my temps start getting above 125° then I will look more deeply into a well engineered solution.

IMO some of the "pre-fab name brand" oil coolers seem to be 1. To large (to much cooling and oil pressure drop), 2. To long (oil pressure drop), 3. No thermostat (or if they do have a thermostat it opens to early, personally, I would like my oil no cooler than 90° centigrade).

Alot of cars fitted with these coolers, when used on the street, struggle to keep oil temps over 90° centigrade.

I was looking at a good site a while ago explaining correct size and type choice, I'll try and find it again..

Personally, I'm would first look at one of these, all the benifits of the Forester unit, just larger, plus less chance of rock/crash damage > https://www.crracing.com/product/oil...4-inlet-outlet
