Did Igy paint his? or do they come that color??
Igy's came that color. I ordered it from summit racing. It's an earls oil cooler, but it has the same core as the setrab, just with earl ends. Basically the same thing. A visual, upclose comparison shows they're the same...except for the end ...no big deal.

How about oil temperatures? Before and after? Also what is a good temp to keep the oil at? Right now with my custom oil cooler setup I'm experiencing temps in the 230 deg F range. I think that may be too high. Still need to duct the cooler.

Normally, oil temps were 10 degrees hotter than water temps(so if you had 90c water temps, you had 100c oil temps).



Now my oil temps are 10 degrees lower(90c water temps with 80c oil temps).



I used to run dual stock R1 oil coolers, but went with a setrab 25 row with a fan on the back that comes on when the radiator comes on.

With the 25 row that is on Van's car I was seeing oil temps around 75C. After I switched to twin TO4S's my oil temp was sitting around 85C and my water temp was around the same. With the 34 row I am now seeing around 78C with a smaller fan and the water temps are back down around 80C. When I rail on it the temps go up around 90-95C then quickly return to normal.

After hearing what you guys run for oil temps I better get out to the garage and do some ducting! I'm in the 110-115c range! I think I'm doing damage to my oil control o-rings because after decelerating down a long hill I can see a little puff of blue smoke in the rearview Seems to only do it when the car is up to temp though. HOPE it will go away once I get the oil temps down to ~ 80C.



Oh yeah, nice oil coolers you have their!
