Top mounted oil cooler in the bonnet scoop!!
Evening all,
thought this maybe of some interest.
About 2 and a bit weeks ago before going out to the nurburgring I put an oil cooler on my car as she gets mainly very hard track use.
Me and a mate decided to fabricate some brackets and use the bonnet scoop to optimise air flow to the oil cooler as I have a front mount intercooler.
Did 11 laps of the ring and then trax the other weekend and no probelms what so ever.
2.0 Sti with vf43 and 20% meth + supporting mods
Here's a few pics.
Cheers Chris

This looks like a great solution. Last time out on track I was getting high oil temp alarms after about 20 - 25m flat out (110 - 115 deg). Just couldn't get it to cool down between sessions. I was wondering how to improve the oil cooling. I still have a TMIC but I'd be interested in this set-up when i manage to go forged and FMIC.

what oil temps are you actually seeing?
Geds, thats perfect oil temp, dont make it any cooler!!
115-120 is optimum oil temp
oil wont start to break down till about 128 degrees +
