two turbo oil coolers in series

would i gain something putting 2 oil coolers on my car ?

can it be in series ? what about pressure drop ?

i shipping/czech import taxes on FMIC makes me decide to not order it now, but i have 2 TII oil coolers and was wondering if it will help to put them both on....

You'd be better off running them in parallel.
But the real question is why? Are you having oil cooling problems? Unless you're making serious power, your oil temps should be fine with the stock oil cooler. If they're not, something's broken.

Doesn't the stock 3rd gen R1 model use two oil coolers. I was thinking of running two coolers as well. 2x stock power and all that oil in the rotors milimeters from the combustion process...

Two small ones.

Spend your money on an oil temp gauge first. If the temps remain stable, there's no need to muck around with another cooler.

unless you are on the track holding 7000rpm for a few hours straight I doubt you need 2....

as above no point in even starting till you get an oil temp gauge and figure out what yours is.
