Default DIY Oil Cooler setups?

With Track Season Approaching I am finalizing the last things on my car and I have 1 last purchase to buy. An Oil Cooler.

Really don't want to buy one of the overpriced universal kits that are out there for s2000, but at the same time want something that is quality and works properly with the car.

I currently have an AP2 with a Full Greddy Turbo Kit on the car,
I have yet to install my Mishimoto 3 row radiator and slim fan as I want to do the Oil Cooler at the same time.


I am looking for a large thin (12X12 maybe?) oil cooler to place behind the radiator with the send slim fan fitting behind it. (Based on some of my research I've heard that the smaller oil coolers tend to be a bit restrictive to the flow of the oil and its recommended to go bigger not to mention more area for better cooling) simular to this build:

I've looked at the Earls and Setrab 34Row Coolers also looked into some of the used NASCAR Used Oil Coolers on Ebay, Just wanted to know what Sizes/Brands/Style Oil Coolers other have used in the past with similar setups?
I am wondering if I should run similar setup like his with the the in and out fitting up top? or should it be run off the side?

Next I have also been looking at lines/fittings as the Greddy kit came with AN10 fitting I would like to maintain that Sizing throughout the Oil Cooler Setup, I know 90 degree angles are not optimal to prevent flow issues, wanted to know if anyone has had experience with this new seatrab fittlings:

or if they have any other recommendations for line running that will prevent starvation or pressure issues?
