So back too cooling so your going to want to get a Oil cooler and transmission cooler the oil cooler so the reason you want the oil cooler is for 2 main reason ( their are many others) first it wound burn oil anymore and second you will finally get not **** oil pressure and actually idle and it not be ****. So first you coming to want to get a oil cooler get the one either the ends that accept fittings because later you will have to hunt down the correct fitting to connect the high pressure hose to the cooler( got fitting at ace hardware store, and cooler at advanced auto parts). Your going to have to cut your feed line and route it accourdling to your needs. This is mine.
IMPORTANT: it is critical that you mount the cooler flat against the radiator, yes you want to cool it but no so much that it is hitting the hot turbo cold or the oil will be to cold and burn on contact so you want it cooled enough not too much. This is also true for the transmission cooler. Transmission cooler pics as follow.
you want the transmission fluid to get to operating temperature and not stay super cooled or else your car will shift weird because the transmission fluid is always under operating temperature that is why it is also flat against the radiator
SLIGHTLY IMPORTANT: mine is an auto I’m lazy and it’s a daily. The if you are doing and manual the it might not have a place to connect the transmission fluid cooler, auto transmissions get hotter then manual so you might not need it but I highly recommend it
But if you are doing an auto transmission YOU NEED IT. Since they only sell radiator for manuals which in auto transmission radiators it goes through the bottom half of the radiator. They do not have a place to connect it
Your absolutely right about this is the "place" to come and talk about their builds. ("Place" being the forum)
Just that the exact "place" you choose was about my personal build/issues.
It's all good, most people don't intend it to happen...of course there are a few that do it on purpose. (not saying you did)
If you have any questions on my build ask away, i'm pretty good answering.
Or if you prefer you can always PM me.
