@Kiske, what was the result of the install? Does the oil still heat up faster even with an external oil cooler installed too?
Is the Mishimoto 288 plate thermostatic? Quote:

In the spring and summer it heats up like normal. If the car isn't moving (like let it warm up in the garage) the effects of faster warming isn't really noticible to me anymore. It feels stock Keep in mind I have a larger radiator, low temp thermostat, a large 19row oil cooler, about 15% more incoming air into my engine bay and my gauge won't read temps below 100*F unless I'm watching with ecutek, and I haven't in a while. There isn't a thermostatic plate. You won't have enough clearance to run it, the oem cooler and the oil cooler sandwhich plates and still fit the oil filter without smacking the hood.

So I was thinking about combining the heat exchanger with the external cooler. The heat exchanger to make sure it doesn't run too cool on the streets and the external to keep it from running hot at track days. But since the oil is going from the heat exchanger directly to the external cooler, I am wondering if any effect the heat exchanger might have immediate would be countered? In other words is it worthwhile?

Hey if anyone is interested I have everything needed for this in my closet. I bought it then decided to sell the car. I'm going to post pictures and stuff in the market section this weekend but just thought I'd post here for now.

Sounds like this is a good setup for anyone because it helps warm the oil faster, and acts as a regulator by distributing heat out among the system. Sounds also like it will maintain oil temps just fine for most applications.
The point that I read is that the stock coolant journals throughout the engine don't pull enough heat off the oil, so this oil cooler provides a mechanism for getting that accomplished. And the idea is that spikes in temperatures in any one area (fluids, chambers) can lead to engine failure, so distributing the heat out will allow for safer engine use at high thresholds. The other point is that this kit doesn't increase the thermal capacity of the system because there is no addition of cooling surface area. If heatsoak was an issue then a larger radiator would be necessary. In the case that the oil regulator couldn't extract enough heat, and it was a bottleneck in cooling (coolant temps were ok, oil temps were heat soaked) then a dedicated oil cooler would be necessary. The good thing is that OEM oil regulator could work in conjunction with aftermarket oil coolers with the addition of a sandwich plate like with the Mishimoto example. In either case, with a radiator or with an aftermarket oil cooler, the system has increased its thermal capacity through the addition of more radiators/cooling surface area. |

Installed the oil cooler. I decided to cut the xt pipe at the curve and weld the end back on so it was straight. Then I painted it with high temp paint. Worked perfectly. Ignore my amateur MIG welds.
I used the same ebay nipple as another member. |

https://goo.gl/photos/fXTgxowjS5yEgySK7 I have an external oil cooler and the OEM together. It does not smack the hood. |
