Jackson Racing has been testing this setup on their cars for months now. Since we desperately needed an engine oil cooler and didn't know where to put it... we decided to go with their setup.
The Supercharger's oil cooler gets relocated further right (looking from the front) toward the driver's side, while the Engine oil cooler is located directly next to it on the passenger side. The engine oil cooler has been specifically sized to maximize airflow through the front bumper opening, and through the intercooler for supercharged applications.
The bracket itself is NOT mounted to the plastic floor pans of the car, but rather onto the car itself, using extension arms that are supplied with the supercharger kit. You won't rip out your oil cooler (and FMIC) if you damage your undertray with this setup!
For those that want this oil cooler on a NA application, a separate bracket will be available, locating the oil cooler in the center.
We tested this past weekend at the first 2014 86CUP event, and took First place with the fastest time of the day! Engine oil temps were rock solid stable, and never got over 240F, even when we were drafting other cars for several laps at a time on purpose [sorry @
ImperiousRex @
mav1178] (drafting results in less airflow through the front bumper opening, because the air is extremely turbulant behind another car).
Compared to most air-oil coolers on this market, this setup utilizes a slightly shorter, but wider oil cooler to maximize the airflow coming in through the front bumper. This is particularly important for those with a forced induction setup with an intercooler; the intercooler prevents the air from flowing "up" as much, since the air can only flow
through the intercooler. In the case of the Jackson Racing Supercharger, the engine oil cooler sits directly behind the FMIC for maximum flow.
*edit*
Another picture to show the full size of the oil cooler. The kit includes a thermostat, so you can't *overcool* your oil, but it'll certainly prevent it from cooking.
