Supra Kong Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Before ou can call him a man? lol If i want to put my Supra on track from time to time, how many rows would you recommend on an oil cooler? Will 15 do? Or go for 25? And where's a good place to fit it? Any suggestions? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 16 row would be the smallest I'd use. Anything else is a bonus. Just make sure it's located well in direct air flow (not behind the intercooler). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 19+ is generally the recommended size, the most important thing is the size of the lines though, you don't want to reduce any of the flow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz6002 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Nice Bob Dylan reference Make sure you go for one with a thermostat, otherwise your oil will take ages to heat up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 19+ so itll be worth it to just bite the bullet and get the 25!!! I'm not really sure to be honest. I would say that it won't go wrong but it may be overkill. Better too much than too little though eh. My oil cooler is a 19row but I don't plan on any particularly heavy use with my car.

mark newman Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 What about 2x 25 just to be sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 A 25 row is fine. Go for a -10AN line and keep the lines as short as possible. Depending in how worn your oil pump is it will lower your oil pressure the longer the lines are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Not really. Locate the cooler, fit a take off plate to the oil filter housing, measure the distance between the take off plate and the cooler and get the lines made up to suit. I can get Teflon braided lines very cheap. All I need is the length and wether you need straight or 90 degree fittings on the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garethr Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Can a cooler be too big, or does it not matter if there is a thermostat operated bypass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 You only need a thermostat if you remove the stock oil cooler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I have a 19 row oil cooler. Temps have always been fine on track. My engine temps have never gone beyond 101°C on the Ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
