Default Where to put oil cooler with intercooler already up front?

Any recommendations on where to mount an oil cooler with an SOS kit?

I seem to be running out of room: Sideways radiator, air-to-air intercooler up front, brake ducts for the front brakes.

Thanks!

If the oil cooler is located too far up front would you risk damage from road debris, severe enough to cause your engine to blow from lack of oil?

Weld tabs to the rear of the heat exchanger and hang it off of it like TTS does on their intercooler for the Rotrex cooler.

You could mount it behind the radiator. Note this configuration is good for an NA engine doing track days in 100F with the A/C condenser still in place and a vented hood. But for a turbo car with an intercooler stacked in front. Best to stick to tracking in only cooler weather.

If your car is not too low, you could do control arm mounted brake ducts which would free up the corner for the oil cooler.

Mine is mounted to the vertical bar that holds the air condenser, so it goes intercooler, oil cooler, air con, rad.

I have a KW kit and installed an oil cooler behind the inter-cooler and in front of the A/C condenser. It is mounted to the driver's side structure at the edge of the radiator opening. It works well and leaves room for my brake ducts.
