One-Off Oil Cooler?
 

There seems to be a lack of oil coolers for this car.... Affordable ones anyway. How hard is it to select one and build you own kit? I am confident I can do the plumbing. I just need help with the sandwich plate and figuring out the optimal core size for the motor. Check these out:

Seems like some good options there. Thermostat and fan included. But I have never done one so perhaps someone can chime in that knows more that I.

For some background: I plan on supercharging my FRS and want to get an oil cooler in the mix as well. Hence the need for it in the first place.

We have plans on making a affordable oil cooler kit for the FRS, a street strip and HD kit.

Are you planning on mounting it in front of the radiator or in front of the wheel?

I've beek tracking the one I'm testing just fine. I understand its coming out pretty soon. Its in the center of the grill now but when I add an intercooler, it would need to find a new place to hang

Both, as we cant even put one in the front of the IC on our car due to the fact our intercooler is 3.5" thick so its against the grill. We will be releasing a user mounted one that should work for everyone and then ill design some brackets for mounting in front of tire area, although that should be the last spot to mount it as there's not really an air flow there, but sometimes you might not have any room anywhere else.

We are going to try to keep this a simple kit as the more things we add to it, that will just drive cost up for the consumer.

Its a joke to do. You can have it done in a couple hours without much effort at all. Buying a "kit" is kind of a ripoff.

Buy this

Use 10AN lines

Than buy the core of your choice, I like 16 row Setrab or Mocal

than just put the lines together and bolt the core to something.

I have the stuff here to do my kit, just waiting to get our car back from the body shop.

Thanks for the link on the MOCAL adapter. That was NOT there a month ago. Time for me to start building. I've had good luck in the past with Long/Trucool branded coolers. I know other folks that swear by NASCAR take-off parts.

How about oil to water?

unneeded for this car

You can hawk some good deals on ebay for nascar take-off's. Some with cool carbon ducts and stuff. My fear on used coolers though is metal shavings trapped inside if they lose an engine with it on there.

Check out a universal one from Hayden. They make really nice quality oil coolers that arent that expensive. When I'm ready for one that's who I'm looking to.

Based on what tech? I'd love it if you are right.

I have been tracking the heck out of a oil/air cooler from perrin they gave me to test , by mocal, and its more than plenty. no need to up the costs for no reason here. If this si working for me in PHX bet it will be fine for you wherever u are!

My bad, I thought you were saying we don't need one at all. You were talking about oil to water.
