Here is my install pics of my oil cooer. I choose the 34 row due to hot Georgia weather. I will be doing lots of spirted driving and a couple of track days. The install was pretty easy. Even though it didn't come with instructions. I had searched lots of threads here to get a great idea.
I mocked up everything first to see how it fits.. Took it apart and began to install. The cooler was a little different from the pics I've seen on GTM threads. Due to mine was a bigger cooler. I had to trim out as little area on the middle bracing on the car to make the L shaped bracket fit flush that holds the upper left side of the cooler to the middle bracing. I filled the cooler up with oil first. Basically a hole quart. I then ran the lines the best way I felt. There was more slack than I thought there would be. But that's fine due to engine torquing. Plus I might of could of ran the adapter plate away from the front of the car where the fittings attach. I also bought some 3/4" rubber hose to help keep rubbing down on the braided hose where it rubs on parts of the frame and plastic trim pieces. The sandwich adapter was pretty much simply threaded on and tighten down. The car ended up taking 6 and 1/2 quarts of oil with the lines and all. So far no leaks. I did use locktite on all fiitings. The cooler defiantly works. At 60 degrees and crusing it was at 160. So I will have to make a block off plate I've seen in modshacks DIY thread. But at the same temp taking the car to red line threw several gears nad traveling about a 1/4 of a mile. It came up to 180. So here are some pics. Enjoy. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
