Re: oil cooler?

Just be careful, you'll have a noticeable drop in the oil pressure if you run a cooler setup, make sure you do it right.

Re: oil cooler?

No you won't. You'll have an increase from cooler temps. Hence the purpose of the cooler. Cooler oil = more viscous = better pressure in hot conditions.

The entire system floods, the pressure doesnt drop unless you seriously mis-size the lines. -10 lines work just fine, my oil pressure drop is less than 1 psi.

I'm using the little earls cooler and it works more than adequately. Dont want to go to low though.... you want the oil to be around 210 degrees hot.

Re: oil cooler?

Best way to do it, is to have one with a thermostat to regulate the cooling, but those are pricey.. in the several hundred $ range.

Exactly. Earl's makes a nice one that fits like a sandwich plate adapter and it's barely over $100. It's not a bad ideal for anyone going turbo, they help out alot.
