Default Show me your oil cooler setups.

I'm looking for different install ideas. I just bought a 19 row Earls cooler and haven't decided exactly how I'm going to mount it. Show me your setups for some ideas.

Thanks,

Chebosto has the coolest setup.
Look for a thread by him.
He custom fabbed mounts for the oil cooler, power steering cooler, and intercooler to match airflow from his bumper.

I saw his write up, but that won't work with the stock bumper nor without removing the washer bottle.

if you're not FI, best bet is right in the center. the only change you have to do with mysetup is measure the length of hose, route the same way, sandwich adapters and etc.. and get different hose fittings for your core... your stock PS cooler you can just lengthen the hose and move it further to the otherside and get a longer core like i did.

oil has high pressure, ps has low pressure, so route the lines accordingly.

Chebosto, I was looking for the link to the thread with your install of the PS and Oil coolers but I cannot find it. Do you know the address?

Thanks, John

I was wondering if anybody who has installed an oil cooler get any whining while driving. The whining changes pitch with throttle input. A mechanic told me that on some cars, cold oil moving through the lines resonate. I've checked all my connections, and they are good. Oil levels are good...it's just kind of annoying. It's not loud, but it's not quiet either.
