Here is what the silly FDs use to cool their oil:



Our ones run along the lengh of the radiator and are about 3 inches thick

excellent,ill probs change to some braided lines for it though.

Ive been thinking about a front mount intercooler.Having that stuffed in front of my rad,oil cooler and power steering cooler will this not make the ar run a tad hot with all that restriction in the way??

Im not lloking to go down the v mount route either.

I have gone with an uprated top mount, has no lag at all keeps the temperatures nice and low, although there is a bit of heat soak if sat in town, it takes ages to heat up if its a good core

When I change the turbo over I will be going for a flat mounted intercooler

thicker rad (koyo) will help and proper ducting, you can also channel air from the hole in the bumper under the headlights in round to the back of the ic but infront of the rad.

cut holes into front bumper to get more air going to oil cooler.

easier said than done. well for me neways lol

didnt i mention the water trick in post #2

think i learnt this bad boy technique from one of your older threads :wiggle

[grinder]

its probably the easiest way to be honest

im just not sure what will happen when you remove the line from the filter ped ??

does the oil filter hold oil all the time .. or does it drain back into the engine/sump over time ?

[Adam fc]

excellent well im bidding on a koyo rad and front mount at the moment.Ive got a gpsports front to go on and that has a large cut out in the front which i assume will be good for cooling.
Just wana make sure the cooling is up to the job before i go nuts with the power gains.

When i removed mine there was some oil spill but nothing a well placed rag couldnt handle:)
