Who Has a Front Mounted Oil Cooler?

[mb7050]

That's pretty much exactly what mine looks like and how it's mounted. Having the inlet/outlet on the side is good and bad. It's good because when you change your oil, you change virtually all of it. It's bad because it means no oil pressure for a fraction of a second longer at start-up.

I was worried that the oil in the cooler would flow back into the oil pan and i would get afalse oil dip stick reading etc(when the engine is not running) so I ran the lines higher than the cooler and that worked for me.

I chopped into the top of the duct...my oil lines actually enter the oil cooler through the top of the duct (so no oil cooler lines running into the front ducting.)

oddly I never took pictures of the final product before putting the front bar on...

will probably have to take the front bar off in the next month so I'll snap some pics of how it ends up looking.

Here are some pics of our front mounted oil cooler, installed on a customers Spyder VR4, that is also running a FMIC. Requires no relocating of anything else, just bolts on.








But if you are going to be running a FMIC, then a side mounted oil cooler will be the most efficient. With the FMIC and front mounted oil cooler, during hard road coursing, our customer with the Spyder VR4 did note some minor rise in temps, but it quickly went away after a short cool down time.

o.0 seriously wish I saw this before I bought the 3sx one... I'd be done by now so anyone have any horn relocation pics? I got my bumper off and looking for where to put the horns.

***EDIT***
I got t in tonight () I stole the idea from the picture that Emilie posted with the two horns on the top hole and just bolted them down. Thanks Emilie for posting that picture. Now my problem is the shrouding. You guys that that those big ass front mount coolers, are you running stock chopped up cooling or did you guys have it custome made or made shrouding yourself? How would the car do if I run it without shrouding to the radiator?

Em, did you guys bend that power steering line outward or what? Hans would never answer me and its hard to tell from the picture.

[Emilie@GZP]

*whomp* nevermind. LOL It bolts to the same spot.

[Hans@GZP]

It may have been bent slightly, but nothing you can't do with your hands or a couple pairs of pliers.
