Default Which Oil Cooler?

Just wondering which oil cooler your using. I was looking at the B&M oil cooler with the high flow fan, because of not having room by the intercooler. Anyone have any experience with those? Picture of BM Oil Cooler

summit, optionsauto, and even amazon.com have them. I'm just curious how well they actually work. I know many on this board went with the Stillen or Nismo coolers, but this may be a better option for those of us with no room to front mount a cooler.

Cheston made some nifty ductwork out of sheet alumiunum to an oil cooler I think. Shouldn't be too difficult to do.

Check this one out! http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/store...tegoryId=18275 This a single cooler with electric fan that has dual paths. One is a dual pass for power steering fluid, and one is a four pass for engine oil. Only one cooler for both components, and a savior of precious space.

I was thinking we could try putting it in the passenger wheel well. With the Turbonetics kit you have to move the stock power steering cooler there anyway, so you'd be replacing it with this one. Not sure about how tight the fit would be. (1-1/2''h x 10-1/2''w x 14''l)

I agree a DIY is the best way to go...Setrab core is my only suggestion there..

Setrab, Earls, Mocal. Those are the best, most efficient cores. Summit Racing has good prices on the Earls coolers. Do a search and you will find my write up of the Earls cooler I installed. Chebosto also did an excellent write up of the Setrab unit he installed.
