It may work. or not. Then you will spend 265 plus whatever it takes to make it work. In my experience, "Universal" anything is best left in the auto parts store parking lot, installed on a 20 year beater by a shadetree (or shady) mechanic. Not on a S2000 and not on a track car. Universal requires compromise by definition.

you could go with a slightly thicker oil to help with pressure, which is ideal since if you need an oil cooler, you're tracking or running decent PSI. Either of which you should consider a w40 weight

After 4-5 laps the gauge shows 4/4.5 PSI vs. the 6PSI of the first lap. Temperature also goes in the 140 celsius, which I believe is in the 300 farenheit.

So the Oil cooler is a must, especially here in Texas. As for the oil, I always use M1 0-40.

Yes and no. I agree with you on the motto "the less you spend the more you spend" but in this case it's "only" a oil radiator, not too much rocket science there once quality is good. And the difference is a nice $300 check.

Has anyone installed a cooler this size off to either side, in front of the wheel well?

It would be awesome if there were a pre-made bracket for this.

Can we use regular rubber hose orbit has to be braided ss

First off, thanks for the write-up!

I read that the 19 row cooler should be supported from both sides. I don't see how the zip tie to the plastic undertray provides any real support.

Are most people running the cooler with the bracket only on one side?

I know that it has been a little while since people have wrote here, and that this may be a Q that has already been answered, but I may not have looked in the right place.

If the factory has a heat exchanger to help get the oil up to 200 degrees or so, why would bypassing it and running a seperate cooler help? Wouldnt this make the oil take longer to get to temp. and therefore not be at the correct viscosity for a longer period of time?

I am interested in supercharging the car, and was thinking about seting up the oil cooler, but based on what I am reading on other sites I am wondering if it would be beneficial. Thanks for your input in advance.

If you supercharge the car you will need an oil cooler. Many people leave the stock heat exchanger in place as it does help cool the oil when the car is pushed and oil temp gets high. Liquid to liquid cooling is very efficient.

Thanks rob. Just one more question, as your site says, I am going to get ahold of the 200 degree plate and then should I get rid of the stock Hx? seems like they would be fighting each other. What do you think?

Ok, one more question again.... Why 200 degrees for a street car vs the 180 degrees?

Thanks again
