I look at it this way, I have R1 setup, when I did my setup I notice the the line comes out from the engine into the right side oil cooler then into the left side then it goes into the engine, with that setup the oil from the right side oil cooler is already hot then get to go into the left side oil cooler, with paraellel each cool indepenent u can one thero or 2 depend on how u can configure it, I been waiting to have the extra cash to buy the mocals or fluidyne from summit racing. I have no test saying it's better I just find that it's cool the oil much better.

Your post made zero sense. In a series configuration, the hot oil is cooled by the first cooler and then is further cooled by the second cooler. In a parallel setup, the hot oil is cooled ONCE and then goes back into the engine. I fail to see how the parallel setup will result in cooler temps.
And the pressure drop myth is just that. The parallel configuration is also more difficult to route through the engine bay and is more complicated. I honestly have no idea why anyone would choose parallel over serial. |

But I completely agree that series is cleaner and appropriate for our cars. The R models came from the factory that way, so a DIY loop won't cause problems just because it's plumbed in series. |
Well, today was NOT a productive day and I am highly frustrated :wallbash:
Turns out that the FC front end is very different to the FD, there is basically no space for side mounted oil coolers; at least not for a decent size one (without having to cut any of the body metal), like a mocal 19 row cooler (much less for the 11X11X1.5 B&M). So I am back to square one, with my original dual FC oil cooler idea; does anybody wants a brand new MOCAL 180F thermostat? :icon_no2: :pat: Thanks for EVERYTHIG guys :icon_tup: |
