I think I need to add fan to one of my oil coolers for times I'm sitting in traffic. I'm only looking for modified 13b and 20b owner's datapoints for anything you are currently trying and liking, not some brand name junkie comment about buying the best due to proverbial concern for 20b's legendary heat output. My 2x ebay $40 19row oil coolers are providing more than enough cooling as long as the car is moving lol. hey anyway, I just want the fans to last. If I need to pay, I will. I see number of these cheap fans on amazon. I wanted to see if there is anyone who has one of these installed and if they proved reliable. thank you.

have you checked oil temps in traffic? what are you seeing

I've got these mounted behind the seats, 25 rows w/ ebay fans for heat exchangers for w2a system. Super loud lmao, but i doubt I'll hear them over the engine. They definitely don't seem weak.

it goes upto 190-200*F when I'm idling still for full signal cycle--say 1-2minutes? When I'm cruising it's always around 180*F. I once drove the car in 120*F heat (never again!-I almost died), cruising on the freeway it was 190*F. I do think my engine runs cooler because I probably run it richer than most. My cruising AFR is around 13-14.

Kudos on ebay fans. I just ordered mine from amazon. $45 for two 7" fans! If you think it's too loud, try curved blades, they are supposed to be quieter.

^Be careful with adding to many electrical loads on the stock alternator. You dont wanna run into a low voltage problem with the fuel system. Also 200degrees isn't too hot for the oil at idle. Modern vehicles run hotter than that.
