Another question regarding this setup.
Would this cooler be ok using a full flow sandwich plate instead of the stock item and sump?

Thanks again JR. Actually saw what you said in the previous post about running the line from the oil pressure sender hole to the turb. That sounds the better option I reckon. Then setup the 4afe cooler as per this thread...
Would the oil cooler reduce coolant and overall engine temperature as a residual result? You would think....

here is what sandwich plate looks like on rwd 20v setup... as you can see you will have to run oil line through engine mount... sound dodgy but looks the goods
I would say no. Because the stock oil cooler is used at low pressure with normal rubber hose and spring clamps or hose clamps.
So if you want to use the stock cooler at full oil pressure, you would have to weld on propper screw fittings. Maybe good hose and hose clamps done up tight would do it. But if it fails, that's ALL of your oil and oil pressure gone.
And for turbo oil suply, you need to think about oil pressure and volume. Some turbos don't like full pressure, and you need to put a jet in the line.
can you run the remote oil filter lines into a oil cooler thats what i was going to do???
yes u can callum, not with this setup though, well maybe but not worth fucking round
anyone have a proper write up with pics?
