Default Oil Cooler

Just a quick one guys, im going to be increasing the boost on my BT cossie lump to about 30 psi, i was wondering what row oil cooler would be suitable for that amount of boost. Cheers

I have a 19 row on my escos up ront and im only going to be running 380/400Hp if im lucky, i have seen other more powerfull cars with lesser rows than that and also even more powerfull car run no oil cooler at all

So the choice is yours there is no rite and wrong imo

hope that helps

Im going to be running a 19 row on mine but it will be trial and error to see if it is too big and some of the rows need blocked off. Like gate crasher says i have seen a lot of big power cars run without a cooler without problem, im only running one as my block has been modded in a way that i have to run a remote cooler and filter

I was going to run a thermoblock anyway so it won't overcool it. Surely that means i cant have a cooler that is to big?

As Dave has said - more oil means it will take longer to heat it to require a cooler.

saying that - those who have the 19 row cooler - what width have you gone for.

i think mine is a 12 row cooler if i remember correctly but im not at home to check!
