2022+ BRZ/GR86 specific oil cooler options

[CSG Mike]

As of now, there's 3 solid options for oil coolers. I'll update the post as appropriate, when other track worthy coolers hit the market.

Minimum: Color fittings $679.99



Pros:
- Lowest cost
- Setrab 915 core
- Good mounting solution
- Minimum amount of oil cooling I'd recommend for any GR86/BRZ that sees hard driving or track use
- Safety wire for banjo bolts (they took my feedback seriously!)
- Mocal sandwich plate

Cons:
- Dumps heat in front of radiator
- more complex installation with factory heat exchanger removal
- Banjo bolts (but includes safety wire now per my recommendation!)


Middle option: Jackson Racing $895 w/ optional shroud (Preorder, eta end of July 2022)



Pros:
- Has an optional shroud (that everyone should order) for superior cooling efficiency compared to the Color Fittings option
- Setrab 915 core
- Lines are wrapped in key locations to prevent abrasion
- Mounts onto the stock impact beam
- Proven history with 1st gen cooling
- Best middle ground value (with shroud)

Cons:
- pushlock Aeroquip lines; gets the job done, but is bare minimum
- Dumps heat in front of radiator
- Performance no better than Color Fittings without the shroud


Top option: GReddy $1520 (Preorder, ETA Sept 2022) MSRP: $1600



Pros:
- Shrouded for maximum efficiency
- Koyo core
- Proven history of BEST cooling with 1st gen
- Mounts off to the side, but directs air to the cooler from the main bumper opening
- Dumps the heat around to the side, away from the radiator
- EARLS braided lines and fittings
- Lines are wrapped in key locations to prevent abrasion

Cons:
- Highest price
- Uses non-OEM filter (but commonly available 3/4x16UNF )
