I'd like to see all the different oil cooler setups people are running.
Wether it's air or liquid, post specs, total price spent on implementing the oil cooling, where your cooler is located, temps before and after cooler etc.
here are a few pics of mine. i don't have any with the front bumper installed, but i cut out the front faux brake duct and it fit right behind it. i didn't get any temp readings all i know is it takes alot longer for my oil to turn black. the setup probably cost about 700 but i had a majority of the parts laying around so i only spent a couple hundred. i built the brackets out of 90 degree aluminum.
Is an oil cooler beneficial for a sc'd setup? I have my old vortech heat exchanger which actually is an oil cooler. Wondering if mounting that, if possible, would lower the oil temp and keep the oil pressure up a little higher and all. Sorry to go off track a little bit.
Spec--I like your setup I saw your thread about putting it together. since you've had it for a few weeks now, any logs on oil temps? what did it cost you?

Yes an oil cooler will never hurt you, unless it is keeping oil temps too low (during the winter time) in which case you could just use a thermostat.
