Dual Oil Cooler set up
Does anyone have any opinions or recomendations on the dual oil cooler kit from Gotham Racing or RX7Store? I need to replace the single. Thanks.

dude build your own, you can get awesome oil coolers from earl's for about 150 each and all you will need is a shop to make mounting brackets and get bad ass lines which should cost around 100-150. thats what im doing
|
What the part#/model# of the cooler that you are using?
|
What are your oil temps currently? If you don't know, your first modification before upgraded oil cooler(s) should be an oil temp sensor.

Its the damm fittings that cost so much. I have see a thread with the parts list and prices from Summit, and its just under $650
It may be easier to just order a kit, but then again I am lazy :) |
The kit from Rotorsport Racing is gorgeous as well - http://www.rotorsportsracing.com/lobby.htm
As hard as it may be for some to believe, not everyone has tons of free hours available just to save a few bucks. There's not much mark-up at all in these kits, and you know they're going to fit and work. |
Exactly!
Personally, I would not buy a kit that uses 19-row oil coolers and doesn't provide ducting. IMO, this will not provide better performance than the stock dual coolers. 25-row coolers are big enough to where I think ducting starts to become not important. |

Here's a link to a list of parts we used to put together our Dual Oil Cooler set up (prices are as of June last year). However, it does not include the custom brackets needed. |
gotham racing sells the brackets for $75 so that comes out to 725-750 which is about the same price as gotham its just i think the earls are better than the ones that they use

buy a kit from our vendors or if you are a DIYer:

To everyone, thanks for your replys. The reasons that I am considering replacing the stock oil cooler, is that it looks to be in bad shape. The car is currently undergoing a complete engine rebuild and single turbo conversion and while this is being done, I would like to fix any other issues. Thanks again.

this is a great upgrade for the power levels a single will bring you.

I have a stock motor, going stock boost with caback, stock intake, DP, koyo...basically just reliability on my touring...is a dual oil cooler setup really necessary? No racing, just pleasure driving at this point...
