Even if my car sat idle for an extended period of time, I never had any oil temp issues and I am in the people's republic of Texas.

That's the goal

What I'd really love to see is a kit so that I don't have to piece mail this together. Most important parts would be molded radiator hoses to make this work.

What model did you get? Looking at their offering the longest one is only like 16" at most. Also did you plan on running this cooler with the stock radiator?

Yeah it is 16" long but that's not taking into account that you'll need at least a 90 elbow for the coolant on each end, which adds quite a few more inches. If you measure from the bottom radiator outlet to the engine inlet, it is only about 14 inches vertical anyways. There's also plenty of crap in the way like fan shroud, AC line, intake pipe(absolutely no way with stock airbox), AC compressor pulley. There's really not much room at all to do it vertically. There is a small chance it could work if I hack up the coolant flanges and weld some tight radius Aluminum elbows directly to them. Still thinking about this...

Also I just ordered some new AN Female to Male 90 degree fittings(didn't think to look for that until just now) in place of 90 degree hose ends, these should make the overall assembly much less wide.

Don't know what I was thinking initially. Was changing out my radiator today and can definitely see I was on something after seeing the limited room.

a little teaser of what we used to call our R-LINE cooler, will be back in action here shortly!

Any pics of the actual cooler?

Sales@AAMComp · 03-29-2013, 03:40 PM

of course!

gomer_110 · 03-29-2013, 03:56 PM

Cute little guy. By looks, that's the 92mm long cooler, an chance of either the 182mm or 332mm being offered?

Sales@AAMComp · 03-29-2013, 04:00 PM

We're going to be sticking with this size cooler. Very efficient for it's size, compact, and where we have it fitted it's almost like it belongs there!

How does this compare to the air to oil coolers as far as cooling capacity? ie. is this equivalent to a 25 row, 34 row, etc?

Is that 90 degree coolant elbow the 1.25" one? Isn't the stock hose 1.5"? I can't believe they charge $55 for that stupid elbow.

Khoi, any updates on the oil cooler?
