Or is it always going to settle the oil temps at the coolant temp.
There is an option for thermostatic sandwich plate, but worst case scenario as long as the car thermostat opens, the oil will at least equal water temp.

It's a very similar approach. Same principles, applied a bit differently.

I'm on the phone so if this post has mistakes, blame Autocorrect

Pretty cool all in one solution really. I like it.

Only for here where I live I have same concern as some with actual overcooling. I see option for the thermostatic plate, however what thermostat goes there at what temp and do you offer those as well? Perhaps I am mis understanding that part...dunno.

It is a nice looking product, I'm a big fan of the stability and reliability of a liquid to liquid setup. Did you guys do any testing on oil warm up times, stock vs. non-thermostatic vs. thermostatic setup?
The new radiator is modified for the inlet and outlet cycle of coolant.

Honestly we did not because in FA20Club opinion that’s going to be geographically biased. Here in Florida its warm year round our winter is sporadic 60s for a few days. So personal testing would not be indicative of what others in cooler regions would see.

The thermostat plate will function similar to your coolant as it closes to ensure it does not go too low - to which we recommend theTHERMOSTATIC PLATE for those with concerns of overcooling.

This kit should help bring the oil temp to operating temperature quicker and keeping it at an acceptable temperature while tracking or simply driving around.

Nice job guys.

Can you sell just your thermostat takeoff plate for those who already have an oil cooler?
