Question Oil cooler position?

I am fitting a Mocul oil cooler which also involves relocating the oil filter.

I will be siting the filter as low as possible, well at least as low as the standard position.

I am looking to fit the cooler where my TMIC used to sit, but am concerned if this would adversely affect my oil pressure?

I will also be fitting a Cosworth uprated oil pump a part of a 2.5 conversion.

Thanks in advance for any advice,

Dave.

Mines an 04Sti. Was just wondering about the pressure affects really as if it stays low it will end up on the lower left me thinks.

Mines an 04Sti, I'm mainly interested in the pressure issues. It will end up in the lower left position behind the bumper otherwise.

it can go in either position but the mocal as standard is a bit ugly so inbetween the icooler and rad was my preferred choice controls temps and not on show as i said the hyperflow is nice looking but 2 stonking great braided oil lines isnt everyones cup of tea

I dont think it would raise your oil pressure, dont matter where you mount it tbh

Ill be fittting my mocal oil cooler infront of my rad.

Have you thought of fitting a thermostat?
