thanks
you can make yourself an equivalent kit to this using the ebay core for less than 180$ but you must hunt for cheap parts
3SX Oil Cooler Kit - Core + Lines + Fittings - FMOC*-*Mitsubishi 3000GT*/*Dodge Stealth Parts
I like what Trevor did with his, I'm just waiting for my excuse!
yeah dual ftw. but I like my big ass single front mount better way simpler and cheaper solution I didn't even have to make a bracket to hold it + oem shrouding fits .Overall install was a breeze
with the oem cooler I could see temps as high as 140C even more during very hard driving .
I havenīt seen temps exceed 110c with this one, not a surprise it is about 8+ times bigger than the oem one!

Since we're talking on the cheap... Just FYI, CX Racing sells 30 rows with with 10-AN inlet/outlet and (2) 5' 10-AN PTFE hoses for $145. Core dimension is 11" x 9" x 2".
They also sell several variations of aluminum 10-AN cores for under $75 shipped.
# Rows = Core Size / Overall Size
30 row = 11" x 9" x 2" / 13" x 9" x 2"
28 row = 11" x 8.5" x 2 / 13" x 8.5" x 2"
25 row = 11" x 8" x 2" / 13" x 8" x 2"
Lastly CX also sells billet oil filter sandwich plates with oil temp and oil pressure sending unit tap ports for dedicated gauges. I paid $75 for one.
Pretty inexpensive options.
yep and keep your eyes open too there are plenty of nice "nascar"etc cores for sale on ebay from time to time.
like this one of mine its a fluidyne cooler ~12"x~12"x~3" 12-AN I think I paid 280$ for it
Good posts guys!
The only thing that scares me a little about aftermarket oil coolers is I would want to make sure it flows > = to the stock one. You can spin a bearing in one of these cars with a shitty oil filter cutting off flow so I've been a bit hesitant to go with one without investigating them a bit more. I've also wanted to do a remote oil filter with a bigger filter. There seems to be plenty of large remote oil filter kits that use a big V8 domestic oil filter that would work nicely.
