Mocked up my greddy rad/oil cooler set up. Had to fab mounts and brackets for the rad since it's an S14 SR rad.
Interesting thing about my oil cooler set up is that it has a thermoblock opens at 75-82 degrees, that way it doesn't take so long to warm up the engine.

Pretty excited with where my oil coolers mounted, planning to use sheet metal to duct it to the "grill" area of the silvia front end. Seen here

Others have suggested running it externally, but we'll see.

Nah external is never a good look imo lol.

Why are you setting it so it opens up way early?

Quote (SlyGoSu @ Dec 26 2013 07:28pm)

I was thinking that actually, and if I mount it there, it's less likely to get obliterated in a crash because it's surrounded by the rad support.



the thermoblock works like a thermostat, thus I have no control over what temp it opens up at.

Truthfully, it's just to help the motor warm up faster than those without the thermoblock and I got it for free so, might as well put it on, lol.
