Ok... I got a used R2 Oil cooler and the oil lines associated with it.



I checked my factory manual but of course it only gives instructions on the driver side oil cooler. Guess they forgot about the R1.



Does anyone have any pics or know of any pics of how the oil lines route and connect for the extra oil cooler? Or can anyone write me a description?



Thanks guys!

hey the lines route right infront of the main pully and then down to the left side oil cooler and then to the engine, {rear} Also same setup for the right side. I think there is black metal bar there that the oem i/c mounts on u can use strong tie warps to tie the lines to the bar so when u drive at high speed the lines won't touch the pully,{ I did that for my own protection}. Also u need to change the {base or touring model} line that comes out from the engine and goes to the oil cooler, it's too short. Khris

I had to adjust the bend in the hard line that goes across the car (to fit the intercooler) so I took a few pics before I pulled them off, for reference.
