oil cooler in front of radiator?
I was wondering if anyone put the oil cooler in front of the radiator with good results. It will simplify things and decrease nose-weight for me significantly. I have been reading on mocal website and it says that oil cooler in front of radiator doesn't affect the coolant temp significantly. I also want to get rid of side oil coolers for possible cold air intake in the near future... any thoughts? thanks!

anyways, the trick is to get proper airflow, the FC cooler, with a FMIC has a hard time, because it doesn't get a lot of air.
the 1st gens have two more options. the early 1st gens had the oil cooler mounted under the radiator, so the fan just goes over both. it works great.
the competition catalog has a setup with a bigger radiator, and they put the oil cooler in the front, they show another option, which works great if you have room. you mount the cooler horizontally, it needs a little duct, but a simple flap works, and the cooler works great.
