I do believe that if you add an oil cooler on to the stock unit you'll have to add a thermostat as well as the thermostat for the stock oil cooler is IN the cooler itself. So, it comes out the front cover, into the first oil cooler where, if the oil is cold, gets bypassed by the thermostat sending COLD oil to the second cooler. You want to avoid that as it can burst the oil cooler when the oil is cold and it'll take longer for the car to warm up. I just ordered a Mocal 235 series 25 row...perfect size and much larger than stock. I originally ordered a 115 series 34 row. It'll fit (34 row) but it's tall and very thin in width. The 235 series 25 row row is actually larger than the 115series 34 row. Go to www.batinc.net to see the coolers and measurements. Setrab makes great coolers as well.

http://www.elephantracing.com/oilhan...boilcooler.htm



PART NUMBER: 1-STD625 $157.00

m22 to -10 adpt X2 pn: m22an10 $6 X2

That's the 25 row oil cooler with fittings. Larger than the stock FD oil cooler.







From summitracing.com you'll need to order these parts:

10ft -10 hose pn: aer-fca1010 $61.95

18mm to -10 adpt X2 pn: ear9919ffk $12.99 X2

90 hose end -10 X4 pn: ear309110 $18.50 X4



I mis calculated. The total cost is $330.93 not including shipping.

hell no! Just one. 10 feet of -1 is enough to do the d/s oil cooler.
