Hello Guys,
What is the best place to go with a oilcooler? I have seen pics with oilcoolers behind the rad, but i don't think that is the best place for them to go?! Close to the turbo and behind a big IC and Rad..
Where did you place them or what is the best place in your opinion?
Cheers

If you don't get enough airflow through your radiator, then i'd be a bit more worried about your water temp than your oil temp!

they fit inside the drivers side wheel well. take your front bumper of and you'll see there is nothing in there and gets lots of nice air and if needed a little fettle with bumper will make sure all the air you want will get there you can't use passenger side as washer bottle is there

Just put mine here.
No real airflow but with some small fans on it and mabe a cold air feed we'll see how it goes.
Otherwise it'll have to go in the wing or something as said before.

fans on your oil cooler is retarded.
the time when you NEED oil cooling is the time when you should have airflow.
if not, youve put it in the wrong place.
fans cant keep up with shit, as said, may as well put it in glovebox, or up a cats anus.

Thought about where to place it and saw a few rst's on here that had it there so assumed it would have at least some effect with an airfeed.
