Oil cooler in top mount location


Recommended Posts

I have a front mount plus doing flipped manifold and was wondering if I could put a oil cooler where the top mount was so that it is fed air from the scoop plus would look good.

Would this be possible or could there be issues relating to too much cooling at speed or heat soak from engine bay??

yup its all possible and a reasonable place to put it up there.

yup you will get heavy cooling at speed, or road use, but you could make up a blank to use in colder weather or if just driving it on the road.

You can put them comfortably across in the guard behind the spot lights if you wish also. Is where we run them for the two JLM cars.

a thermostat is a must if it's ever being driven on the street. you need an inline one too if you're using filter relocation kit. mine is permacool brand, came from USA, dunno if they can be sourced locally

+1

as for the cooling you could run small 4" fans on top of the cooler to push the hot air down and away. I have thought about running this set up in my car once i go to the FMIC.

It is not only possible, it is recommended. Mine was in front of my front mount, and when I turned up to pick my car Al (who most people on here know) moved it here :

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
