Oil Cooler Experiences

1st off, I would like to thank Modshack and Vipor for their articles. I have the socketless setup, though I ordered the blue lines and the next larger size cooler.

1st off, I would like to thank Modshack and Vipor for their articles.

I have the socketless setup, though I ordered the blue lines and the next larger size cooler. To avoid overcooling, my blockoff is one-sided - the side that is blocked is the front. The 90deg fittings attached to the thermo-plate are actually facing back; this allowed me to route the lines in an S-shape configuration to allow for gazillion of slack.

I am super happy with my setup and no longer pay much attention to the dreaded 260deg mark. So far, in Calif, with the block-off plate still installed, I have not exceeded 215 deg. When I cruise down Pacific Coast Highway at 6:30 a.m., my temp stays at 185deg.

Do it --- you won't regret it.



p.s.,

Hopefully, your thread will not turn into "you don't need a cooler if you don't track your car....."
