I'm considering installing an oil cooler, as I suspect my oil temps are seriously high, given the turbo and the fact that the car runs pretty hot on the track. (For that, I'm considering upgrading to the Mugen radiator -- any feedback on it would be appreciated, as well.)
The problem is that I've no place to put it: the nose is stuffed with the intercooler. My faux brake ducts are being used to duct the front brakes.
I was thinking of installing it flat behind the radiator with air scoops under the car to direct air upward and through the cooler, but it's been suggested to me that I consider, instead, a liquid oil cooler that uses the hot water returning from the block to the radiator to cool the oil first before being cooled itself by the radiator.
Has anyone heard of these things? Anyone have any direct experience with them? Thoughts/feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks,
CB
