have to say i do find this a bit on the daft side. Why would you want to move one cooling device due to ambient temp issues and replace it with an even more critical cooling device?
Here's mine, fixed betwen the top and bottom cross members and fits even with a front mount
16 or 20 will be fine, but you def need a thermostaticly controled one

The kit is so efficient that Bob Rawle told me how impressed he was with the way it kept the oil temps down during a recent mapping session.

If you want to keep your oil temps down then go for the same setup that I have with 25 rows some might call it overkill, it comes with a thermostatic sandwich plate as part of the kit.

but if using a stat is it tricky to find oil levels

We can offer the HEL oil cooler kits, they can come with a thermostatic sandwich plate and also a choice of core size.
They are 19 row or 25 row and the 19 row can come with a duct too

Mine as stated is a 25 row - on Autobahns/Nurburgring/Brands I've not seen more than 100 degrees oil temp so I'm happy with the size. I would always fit a thermo plate as your oil will take longer to warm up and potentially not even get up to temp on very cold days.
One of the SES members has a 19 row with plate for sale
I was more than happy with the Advanced Automotives/Scooby Projects kit.
Only thing I've added is conduit over all the braided hose to stop it rubbing plus heat shield/fireguard over the hoses where they are close to the manifold.

mine went from 110 peak (that was backign off at 105) down to no more than 90.
will def sort out the 116.
as far as 100 after the oil cooler, that seems very hot, wheres the cooler located? i'm yet to see over 92 when giving it death even on a roasting hot day. (although a 2.0 standard engine not a 2.5)

What kind of prices is one expected to pay for a reasonable kit, and I mean one for an everyday road car with occasional track use. Obviously I dont need a RCM version, but equally I dont want to flebay special
Also Ive heard quite a lot about folk placing them in the TMIC location with no issues. whats your opinions?
I was going to get the one in the for sale section on here, but missed it by minutes
Sorry to hijack the thread for a moment

As for prices.... I have fitted a Hyperflow stage 3 sump so wasnt about to scrimp on the oil cooler, go for the best you can afford, it may help save your engine

Rob personally i went for Setrab/Mocal and price around £250 is OK,if you contact Think Automotive he give you good deal,usually 10-15%
And position is best front behind the grill,i have there fitted mine with Gearbox cooler(Setrab/Mocal too),and i don't like the idea fitting on TMIC position,because its little bit scare if something goes wrong.

afraid thats not true, mine is a road car and saw temps hot enough to make me back off. You have to take each car on its own merit on how hot it gets. Just saying its a road car, its fine, doesn't work
