Appreciate it, and good luck with the install if you do it. Cooler works great.

Thanks! Yup, will be doing the install in the next few days, but with the 19 row cooler. Oh, BTW, how much ATF will I need for the power steering? I bought a quart, but not sure if that's enough...I will be relocating the PS cooler over to the driver side as described by Zxces50.

I think 1 was plenty.

Has anyone tried to install the 19 or 25 row Stillen oil cooler on the driver side? I'm thinking this would save you from having to drain and relocate the PS cooler. Looks like a new hole would need to be drilled on the oil cooler bracket in order to use the car's existing holes. Based on Mightybobo's install pics, there may be enough stainless steel line to do it. Any thoughts guys? Am I overlooking something?

UPDATE:
I PM'd Josh at Stillen. He explained that Stillen placed the oil cooler on the passenger side in order to leave space to accommodate an automatic transmission cooler and their power steering cooler. However, the oil cooler can be placed "anywhere" so long as there's enough line to do so. Since I don't plan to upgrade PS cooler and I have a 6MT, I'm going to see if there's enough of the provided Goodridge SS lines to move the cooler to the driver side. I see that I may have to buy one or 2 sets of bolt and retainer (the same ones holding the stock power steering cooler in place) that fit the pre-drilled holes on the car to mount the cooler bracket. Will let you guys know.

Tracked yesterday at Monticello NY - 4 / 20-25 minute sessions- 19 row Stillen ( also got a few compliments on sound of Stillen CAT back going down the front straight) - all worked well- top oil temp around 240 or so- no issue or concern with oil temps- exterior temp low/mid 80's- now just have to figure out how to address fuel starvation @ 1/2 tank.

Just finished installing the Stillen 19 row oil cooler. Installing it on the driver side is possible. Gotta make sure your lines are routed properly and not kinked. I started another thread to describe and post pictures:

Thanks MightyBobo for your helpful thread and allowing me to "jack" it. :tup:

That's good about temperatures staying under control.

I went for an aggressive test drive after installing mine last night. Normally, temps would reach around 108 deg C for what I did, but with the oil cooler, it didn't go above 92 deg C.

My pleasure!

how long should the instal take?

I would say...anywhere between 2-4 hours depending on your skill.

Nice write up! Question about the quantity of oil used though, I recently installed a 25-row cooler from Z1 (mounted it with fittings facing up) and needed only 6.5qt to have it full. This is with the slightly longer lines too as it is mounted on the drivers side. How did you end up using 7.5qt's? In Modshack's DIY, he mentioned it was just over 6qt for a full fill and he used the 24 row cooler. Just wanna make sure I used enough oil. Seemed to run fine and dipstick read F if not slightly above everytime I checked it throughout the week.

Funny cause I used 6 qt on a 25 row and I am just about full... reads about half way (have heard you don't want it by the top line).

NO worry about hot sunny day!great

You should be fine. I use about 6 qt for my 19 row cooler. There isn't a ton of oil volume difference between a 19 and 25 row cooler...so 6.5 qts sounds good. So long as the car is level and you turn the engine on to let the oil run through the system and then shut it off before checking the dipstick, you should be fine. :tup:

Yep, I did the exact same thing...
