As I was working on my car last night trying to figure out a way to make room for better air flow to the radiator I remembered I had seen a WRX a while back that with a top mount OIL cooler and thought, that might just work considering I no longer have the TMIC since I'm running a FMIC. Considering there is already an air duck from the stock TII hood and some mounting point I think this just may work for our cars.

I wanted to know if anybody has already done it and what it took.

I know, I know I could just do a V-mount BUT considering I already have a new Koyo rad and Greedy FMIC I didn’t want to just pitch that in favor of the V-mount. I've seen a few oil coolers on line but I don’t know if I would need one specifically for a top mount application or could a front mounted one be able to lie on its back and still work effectively. The price isn't bad at about 160 bucks with like 6 feet of line and all the fittings.

So what do you guys think? Please let the conversation begin. I would love to see pics if somebody has already done this and would like to know how well it really works because after all I don’t see how it could be any worse than it sitting between the FMIC and radiator with that little amount of air flow.

it might raise underhood temps. hot oil is hotter than the air that was running through there. thats my only thought with it
