Dual oil cooler dfferences?

Are there any differences between, Gotham Racing, CWR and Rx7store.net twin oil cooler kits?

They all seem to use mocal coolers but are all priced differently as well.

I wasn't aware that CWR is still selling parts. I know the website is up, but I don't know if they are actually still doing business. I also through the RX7Store was using Fluidyne oil coolers. Anyway, with the brackets, the Gotham Racing kit is basically the same price as the RX7Store kit. Niether of them include ducting, which would be nice. However, either one will do just fine if you are road racing your car. If you aren't then you'll be better off putting that money somewhere else.

True - if you're not hitting the track or have a definite need for dual oil coolers, the money can be spent elsewhere.

Do a search - there's a writeup on doing dual oil coolers on the cheap. You get another driver's side regular oil cooler, mount it on the passenger side, and plumb it in.

Unless you are tracking the car in some serious heat (which you may be in aussie land...), I would just add another stock cooler on the passenger side. Search "dual oil coolers cheap" for a post by Howard Coleman that lists the parts you need to do this. If you need a little more cooling ability then I would suggest adding a larger mocal unit on the passenger side and plumbing it in similar to howard's method.
