I didn't say just to replace the radiator alone. And there's plenty of people who say NA needs
no additional cooling and choosing the correct oil is the more appropriate solution, so the NED is a fair compromise. It does 80% of what an air:oil cooler does for less than 50% of the money, and has added functional benefits that air:oil units don't. And I only brought up the radiator replacement because the JR unit IS a radiator swap. My point was you could replace the OEM radiator with a better unit AND get the NED cooler for a fraction of the price of the JR.
Don't get me wrong - I'm not saying the NED does a better job of cooling oil than a more expensive air:oil unit. I'm simply saying that for someone with an NA motor and NO oil cooler at the moment, the NED cooler is the best value in terms of price versus effectiveness. And as far as 'risking' the engine goes, you seem to be willing to risk your motor and the rest of the driveline by going forced induction, so be careful in that glass house.
