Difference in Mocal & Earls oil cooler
Wat up guys! I got a question and I want to see if anyone can help me out. Ok the question is whats the difference in Mocal and Earls oil cooler? They both seam to state the same info on how the entire oil cooler is made from aluminum alloy braised into a one-piece unit. Each cooler is then tested by immersion to a pressure of 170 psi. Random coolers are put through even more exhaustive testing to ensure stability under all conditions. Does any one know the difference in them or is one better than the other? Has any one use both of them, if yes which one worked out better for you?
Thanks

I have at least one all of these coolers and can tell you that there are few differences in their construction. They are all quality products which I would expect to have very similar heat rejection characteristics for a given size. The fluidyne budget oriented "street" product is also very good and worthy of consideration, especially where airflow is limited. Other than that, I would simply go with the best fit, best deal or what's readily available.
That being said, I personally like the Setrab cores because I can put whatever fittings on them I want using their 22mm base thread. I made some custom bango fittings for the cooler on my FD to lower its profile, which has been very effective.

I vote setrab, mocal a close 2nd. It's tough to go wrong with most good brands (Earls, Mocal, Setrab,etc)
Setrab has faired well in the GTR community hold down the oil temps of 800 hp cars all day long.
Not to mention, OEM ferrari and other very high end automobiles.

I see that both Mocal and Earls oil coolers are tested by immersion to a pressure of 170 psi and some are tested with up to 350 psi.
In the other hand I see the Setrab oil coolers are designed for maximum working pressure to 150 psi.
How much psi will the Fd build when its really getting pushed? Are the Setrab enough

Rotary Freak
Local Earl's distributor over here wouldn't offer a warranty on any cooler used on a rotary....this was back in the day when uprated 110psi oil pressure pumps were the normal upgrade....thinking that's standard FD fitment now. You'd want to be careful with any aftermarket cooler (more so in cold temps?), especially on a street car imo.
