Oil Cooler Location
Trying to find a good place to locate an oil cooler on a classic impreza fitted with a fmic. Does anyone have any good suggestions of which oil cooler brand they used and a picture of where it is located if running a fmic?
Alternatively is the Oil Cooler Modine pretty effective?
I'm not sure if I want one top mounted where the old ic was but it might have to go that way.

If you still have a bonnet scoop put it in the position of where the tmic should go. Looks very proffesional and tidy and has the scoop to cool it so it's efficient. Alternatively I've seen them ran in the inner wings with a cold air feed from where the bumper spot lamps go.

lol, think you need to rethink that one, why would you bother to move the intercooler if its an efficeint place?
Putting an oil cooler on top of the engine is a bad idea, same reason why a top mount is a bad idea, except the oil temps are more cirtical than the air temps.
Between frontmount (if you have one) and rad is by far the best, fitted verticly the top of it still receives cold air direct. Fits perfectly between the two panels with rubber washers to stop too much vibration.
you cna just see it behidn the black bennet grill on this one
