T2 MSW Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Whats the best way to duct an oil cooler? Currently thinking about making a template with chicken wire or something and fibreglassing the frame. Has anyone done this before or have any suggestions?

Got mine slammed against the bumper so the bumper ducts it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2 MSW Posted October 31, 2009 Author Share Posted October 31, 2009 unfortunatly thats not an option as the intake pipe for the intercooler is in the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 how much of an angle is yours on mike? possibly thinking modifying a stock sidemount duct maybe ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T2 MSW Posted October 31, 2009 Author Share Posted October 31, 2009 Quite a bit of an angle mate, stock duct would not work as its not deep enough and way too big. Tried that one already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might work, just need to make some brackets up then. That could be a bit easier. Cheers Jamie Has your car seen any repeat laps of on track action at all, just wondering how effective these oil coolers actually are as my temps just go up and up. Come back down quite quick but even still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think having the guage just plays on your mind although 130 degrees is way to hot for my liking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 It is hot but a 15-50 will handle them temps, if you was running a 5-30 then i would worry.
