#3703, "Installing an aftermarket Oil Cooler"


          

I just got a B&M super cooler off of Carparts.com I was just wondering where you guyz mount your aftermarket oil cooler. I found a place in the right of the bumper near the powersteering. It's a really tight fit and is it vital that that section get airflow? Because it looks like not much air passes through this particular oil cool. This thing is massive I'd say 8x10. When I look at the kit though, it looks as if I could have saved money buying the sandwich adapter at some speed shot then go to the junkyard and get an oil cooler off a van or something. All it is , is a buncha hoses.

Eventually when I get one I was going to mount it on the passenger side behind that opening then I would get a good airflow over it. Make a bracket off the frame and mount it there. Well that's my idea.

Or just stick it in front of the radiator.... emoji

BTW, make sure you use good heavy duty hose clamps, or double clamp everything...

Yep, buy some aluminum bar stock 1/8x1" and make a bracket to mount if behing the passenger brake duct. Thats where mine is...it gets pretty good airflow. It was a very tight fit though.
