Alot of people have luck with Setrab oil coolers. If I was you I would get a R1 dual oil cooler setup and stick with stock lines or get a setrab and go all out. You gotta keep that T04R cool

Justin, you're the man. Thanks!



What about the thermostat? Just bypass it or what?

Get a new one from summit and a little fan that the thermostat triggers to turn on when the time is right

I guess it's just dependent on where you live at. Okinawa's hot as **** anyways, so we didn't even bother with a thermostat.



I went with a 25 row setrab(single) with a supra fan on the back of it. The total setup NEW should cost right around $300(I paid $200 because I bought mine used from IGY). With Dual oil coolers(25 row), the setup should cost right around $450

It is 18x1.5 according to an old post from the BIG LIST. Memory did not fail me.
