Is my oil cooler overkill for the street?

I agree. VQ pumps have been notorious for failure. But our VHR's 7500rpm redline was enough to grenade the classic DE pump. So we are better off than the VQ was around 2003. I believe that the VR38 took the pump off the crank and put it down on a chain. But, the Toyota 2JZ seemed to have no problems with the oil pump drive gear interfacing directly on the crankshaft... so there is hope in working with it.
