One-Off Oil Cooler?
There seems to be a lack of oil coolers for this car.... Affordable ones anyway. How hard is it to select one and build you own kit? I am confident I can do the plumbing. I just need help with the sandwich plate and figuring out the optimal core size for the motor. Check these out:
http://www.summitracing.com/search?k...20cooler&dds=1 Seems like some good options there. Thermostat and fan included. But I have never done one so perhaps someone can chime in that knows more that I. For some background: I plan on supercharging my FRS and want to get an oil cooler in the mix as well. Hence the need for it in the first place. |

We have plans on making a affordable oil cooler kit for the FRS, a street strip and HD kit.

I've beek tracking the one I'm testing just fine. I understand its coming out pretty soon. Its in the center of the grill now but when I add an intercooler, it would need to find a new place to hang

We are going to try to keep this a simple kit as the more things we add to it, that will just drive cost up for the consumer. |

Buy this http://www.racerpartswholesale.com/p...andwich_Plates Use 10AN lines Than buy the core of your choice, I like 16 row Setrab or Mocal http://www.racerpartswholesale.com/p...ab_Oil_Coolers than just put the lines together and bolt the core to something. I have the stuff here to do my kit, just waiting to get our car back from the body shop. Adam |

Thanks for the link on the MOCAL adapter. That was NOT there a month ago. Time for me to start building. I've had good luck in the past with Long/Trucool branded coolers. I know other folks that swear by NASCAR take-off parts.

Check out a universal one from Hayden. They make really nice quality oil coolers that arent that expensive. When I'm ready for one that's who I'm looking to.

My bad, I thought you were saying we don't need one at all. You were talking about oil to water.
