Oil Cooler Placement With Intercooler
Dear All,
I live in Dubai and I want to buy and install an oil cooler for my car. However, later on I want to install an AVO Turbo kit stage 2. Temperatures in this country go up to 55 degrees Celcius and Im pretty sure I need an oil cooler and an intercooler since I will be tracking my car. The issue I'm facing is where to install the oil cooler when I get the turbo kit. Some people are saying behind the fog lamp but I dont want to remove the current fogs. Others are saying just place it in front of the intercooler. Is there enough space? If I do go for the idea of installing it in front of the intercooler, is the Perrin Oil Cooler better than the Mishimoto since its smaller? I'm thinking of a methalin kit as well, not sure I need that. Please advise. |

I think your best bet is place an oil cooler at the area where the fog light is. Currently tuning the avo setup and prior to the oil cooler installation my oil temp was around 128°C during warm up lap on the track. The temp here is crazy hot and no surprise my car's ecu came with the oem gulf region tune. I just feel that for places where you get constant high temp all year round we should always try to find ways to reduce as much heat as possible.

We have not been able to confirm fitment of our cooler with the AVO turbocharger setup. It is rather likely that our cooler would need to be relocated to a fog-lamp position in order to fit. This would require bracket fabrication and modification of the lines included in our kit. The primary components, oil cooler and sandwich plate, are included and will be necessary for oil cooler installation. We have discussed developing a kit intended for vehicles with FMIC setups. That being said, we have yet to move into the R&D phase of that particular project. Let me know if I can answer any questions regarding our kit! Thanks -John |
