Cusco Oil Cooler

[wootwoot]

you still need the adapter cusco provides unless you can machine your own. It is usually best to just bite the bullet and buy the kit.

I bet a cheaper version could be done using 2014 (edited) Forester XT parts. It has a factory oil cooler, assuming because it is turbo.

*2014. Didn't come to mind for some reason. I can't find a parts list online (2013 and older only), but if someone could pull up costs for the cooler and associated lines that'd be great.

Oil needs to get hot enough to boil out the fuel and water tat accumulates, not to mention operating temp dictates viscosity...blah blah blah...

Right on,
Combining both of these together seems to equal RobiSpecs Radiator and oil cooler.

Which uses a LARGE radiator with an oil cooler,
and a sandwich plate oil adapter.
This will warm the oil faster.
Aswell as keeping oil temps on par to coolant temp.
Coolant temp would be more stable due to the increased capacity and efficiency.
No worries of over cooling.

I'm in no way affiliated with Robispec.
Just think this is THE way to go.

I actually bought his cooler, we agreed he sent me the cooler that was running on his car because he was not able get new cores for when I needed it. Unfortunately, the brackets to hold the radiator to the frame did not match the holes. Same thing with the brackets to hold the Evaporator to the radiator. I ended up returning it for a full refund and will wait for a different solution later on.

Yes, next best option for me is the Koyo radiator with some Oil cooler that is not front mounted.

Would you go back to robispec pending fitment issues?

[SmsAlSuwaidi]

whoops, missed that.

NLM full-blown build that just started has a koyo with a small front mounted cooler, i wonder how it would function

Honestly, no. Although I do agree the best solution is to cool the oil with coolant and have a bigger radiator, it is too big. If this was a track ONLY car, then yes, I would go for it and hack away whatever is needed to fit it and other nearby components. But the radiator being so big, introduces other limitations like for example not being able to run a CAI like Perrin's because the radiator is not only thicker but taller and the CAI tube would not fit.

I have a 13 row oil cooler and can get the lines made in the length I need. But I need a sadwich plate. Do any of the ones listed at that setrabusa site work or does anyone know where I can get one that fits our car? Thanks!
