Default Cooling a hot engine

Right, after seeing my oil temps getting what I thought were high I want to get the engine running cooler.

Anyone know of a good place to get an

Oil cooler.
Alloy Rad.

Anythink else I should look into?

Thermostat? Rad Cap?

Would i need to getting the AEM remapped with the thermostat? (doesn't the Spoon ECU do something funky if you have the stat?)

Ebay has a cooler for under

That Ebay kit doesnt seem to come with a Thermo stat controlled sandwich plate, which with a 19 row cooler i would of though you may want to run. Other wise its never going to get up to temp quick enough on cold days.

I take it you haven't got the modifry ECT fix yet?

When I had that pulley I thought I was running on the warm side so I changed over to koyo rad, think the main problem I had was the thermostat wasn't opening fully, tested it in a bowl of boiling water with a new J's stat and the one I had didn't hardly open at all.

If you go koyo you might want to think about new fans as well.

With the modifry ECT fix, I run normally 2 bars on the gauge, going to 3 for a little bit if I'm pushing along or stuck in traffic.

I am using the OEM fan but I had to file a corner down to get the Mugen intake to fit.
