Oil cooler advice
Hi, recently bought my self an oil cooler from a Snet member, and am looking at fitting it in the near future. I have a few questions regarding the fitting etc.
1. If i spray the cooler black how badly will it affect the performance of it? 2. Do i go for a thermostatic sandwich plate or not? 3. How do i work out how much extra oil to add on a service? Thanks Mike:thumb: |
1. It will slightly affect it, but if you'd really notice the difference, not sure? Quite a few people spray their intercoolers to no ill effect.
2. Yeah, you want a thermostat on it 3. Easiest way would be to fill the pipes and cooler up with oil, then measure what you've poured in. |
Thanks for the reply, would an ordinary vht paint be needed?

Mike, one question before you go further: What average and peak oil temperatures are you seeing at the moment, and what is the state of tune/modification of your engine at the moment?

Cooler is foresight for trackday oil temps, road use is meh !:thumb: It's a nice little OEM Spec C unit, will fit tidy behind a classic grille and will be all the better for a spritz of VHT.:thumb: |
