Which Setrab cooler? Your solution for this use may be to go with a smaller Core.....

The standard street-sized one from Stillen. It's their kit, actually, except I tossed their sandwich plate and used the Mocal 180. I actually just went out to drop off a prescription and got it up to 205. The difference is that it's 60 degrees out right now, and only about 40 at 5am when I go to the gym!

With the average temps around here in the morning being in the 40's I'm just getting to work when the temp hits 180. On the weekends I take it out for some exercise and try to get the temp to 220. I don't think the low temps day to day are a huge problem as long as you can get the temps up once in a while to burn off any water vapor that may have collected.

Actually on a side note, how much room would you say you have inbetween the Stillen Setrab core and the Gen3 intakes? Trying to determine if there is room for the larger Setrab 34-row and the intake.

Okay, see this pic:

The top of my core sits right below the silver tow hook loop thingy. That should give you an idea.

Not a conflict IMO..

The 34-row will come up to just below the front crash bar, so looks like it should just fit.

Hmm...34-row? Have you taken a look at MightBobo's DIY on the 25-row? DIY: Stillen 25-row Oil Cooler
I mention this because he discovered the 25-row was actually too big and required some cutting on one of the corners! (My street-version is only 19-row.)

This pic is from his thread:

I think it was because of how Stillen wanted you to mount it. The Nissan Motorsport kit is a 34-row Setrab and mounts directly to the plastic brace at the bottom with a right angle bracket. If set back at the correct distance it shouldn't have that problem.

Here's a picture of one being installed (by Z1Motorsport).
