I saw it somewhere that a guy uses twin oil coolers. I had an idea like that earlier today and knew it must be fate. So Im basically thinking of mounting another oil cooler under/over the original oil cooler. Also the "output" (cold oil line) of Oil Cooler 1 will go into the input (hot oil line) of Oil Cooler 2. Then the output of that back to the engine. Does this have an effect on oil pressure??? Can anyone think of any potential problems with this??? ANy guesses of how much the temp would drop with the addditional oil cooler??? Last one: How much more oil would the engine be able to hold with the added capacity of another oil cooler???? Thanks a Bunch!!!

Hey heres a sub question since I dont want to make 2 threads and clog this place up??? Will a 87TII tranny, driveshaft, and rearend bolt up to a 90 NA vert???

Thanks again guys!!!

 

Three questions:

1. Is this a race car?
2. Do you have an oil temp gauge?
3. Do you have an oil temp problem?

If you answered yes to all three questions then twin oil coolers could be considered. Otherwise it's a waste of time and money. Don't attempt to fix problems that aren't there. The FC's oil cooler is probably the best fitted to any production car, and is completely adequate unless you're subjecting the engine to constant full load (race car) or you block the airflow to it.

 

Agree, if you don't need it don't do it. Those FC oil coolers are pretty nifty.

I on the other hand re-located mine up front just behind the air-hole-slit of my bumper. I buzzed out a opening in the safety support bumper so air can come through ( see ex of opening below). My FMIC (27 x 8 x 4) sits right below the oil cooler. Not sure if it helps as I haven't driven the car yet. I was just looking to free up the radiator a bit.. I'm sure it won't be much of a gain. Sometimes I get bored heehee

 

If you want better oil cooling which I'm sure you don't need, you could just relocate your oil cooler to the front.

 

Also, try a search for "oil cooler" and "maxthe7man". Some great info has been posted.

 

Thats sounds like alot of good advice. You are right, there is no problem so I shouldnt try to "fix" something. Thanks a bunch guys!!!

 

there was some crazy guy in Japan running the R1 dual oil cooler setup on his yellow TII. dual FC oil cooler would be too much. the FC stock oil cooler is bigger than any other oil cooler of any other car that i've seen.
