Yea I didnt take notice of that but it does seem like the piping will interfere with the oil cooler. The pipeing does look great though.

looks to be quite a bit of piping.. have you thought about V mount instead?

sen2two 03-13-2007 07:58 AM

i did think about v-mount for like 2 days. but its just not my style...



and the oil cooler will not be in the stock location...so thats not a problem.

There are intercooler styles now? I'd just be worried about cooling efficiency, not how it looks. That's just me though.

exactly... it certainly seems at the very least that you wont be able to fit the cooler ducting..

and worse.. youll be blocking the air flow to the cooler...

heres an old pic for comparison..

im gonna be using an aftermarket oilcooler that comes with a fan on it.



the oil cooler size is about 8" by 12"....about the same size as a magazine.



i already fitted a place for it on the driver side a little farther back than stock placement. and with the fan on it. i dont need any ducting...



i originally was going to putan FC3S cooler in between the intercooler and radiator. but i have enough room on the side to fit the smaller one. so its going there...

I did something similar, but I put the piping at the top to stay out of the oil coolers way and make the piping shorter.
