Single oil cooler options?

Single oil cooler options?
Is there a worthwhile replacement for the base/touring single oil cooler? I know duals are the better way to go. I only do autocross and normal street driving. I am just trying to improve over the stock single. Just looking for something that will fit behind the stock bumper and might be fairly simple, maybe thicker core.
Is there anything I should consider? I would love to have the money or need for a nice SB Garage dual setup but I am not looking to spend that much and I don't really think I need that much cooling. I generally don't drive much in the hot TX summer months.
Thanks for any advice.

The easiest more cost effective approach is to get a stock dual setup. It will basically be plug and play. RotaryExtreme sells single and dual oil cooler kits:

You are looking at $900 for their 25-row single kit. It is possible to make your own kit for less, but what you save in money you will pay for in effort.

I havnt done it yet
but here is something howard started

the BEST choice for your use is probably a single large aftermarket, but like mahjik said you are looking at 900$
SB does make good stuff but he does charge a small premium and you dont need duals for autox, in my opinion

I replaced my single oil cooler with a single 19-row Mocal oil cooler. I documented what was used here:

I don't necessarily recommend going at it on your own unless you have the time and patience to get the mounting correct.

Mahjik, thanks for posting that link. I will read through it and may follow your footsteps. Having just one appeals to me. It's not a track machine and I do have a koyo n-flow helping out on the cooling. If I found a nice set of R1 duals, those would make sense but I can't watch the for sale section all day like many forum members and they always go before I can get on it. I don't really want to have to get a set of duals or my own reconditioned. I feel like by the time I do all that to either do a Coleman dual setup or fix up a set of R1s I would be close to the cost of a good single. I should have jumped on the SB duals that sold a few months back for $500. Somebody got a deal there.

dont bother waiting for R1 duals
i had some before and sold them, and they can get expensive
I think I sold them for 600ish with all piping so you are not exactly saving much
and you will need a giant box since the piping is not bendable
so its better to go with aftermarket hoses, but you can use a mazda cooler is fine
