Engine Oil Cooler... Where To Mount?
i was plannin to get an engine oil cooler for my ride, but i can't find a place to mount the bastard... dimension is 1-1/2" x 8" x 11"
I was thinking about punching a hole on my front bumper where the license tag is at and put a customized grill and moldings... the front should be the best to get the maximum cooling possible... what you guys think???
permacool oil cooler looks better... check it out...

i thought of that... but i have an OEM bumper, and only aftermarket bumper will give me that space, so i could mount it in between... but i'm not a fan of aftermarket bumpers...
i was thinkin in front of the intercooler... or on the top, where the H logo is... but i don't want water to get into the engine... maybe in front of the FMIC, any of you guys seen the oil coolers? how's the weave of the alluminum?
another question... will it have enough pressure to push the oil through it? I was thinking about connecting the hose that goes to the turbo to the oil cooler and to the turbo...
