Anyone got one on the EG with a/c?
If so, where do you mount your cooler? what size is that? I just simply cant find a spot to fit the cooler in front without blocking the radiator and a/c fan

OMG.JAI xD

put it infront of the radiator.
Take your front bar off.
Make mounts on your front bar reinforcement .

Where the fans are on the radiator is the back of the radiator.
Just put the thought of an oil cooler like a front mount intercooler. A front mount intercooler isnt mounted in the engine bay.

im thinking about putting mine behind the fog light cover on the drivers side, my intake isnt there anymore so i figure thats the perfevt place as my fmic covers the whole front

As preference, I'd put it on the passenger side in front of the AC condenser/radiator. As said make brackets and just make sure its spaced away from touching anything.

ok so put in front of the a/c con? it would be better than putting it in front of the radiator right? as for the mount, what is the best way to DIY a mount?

Yep, thats my thinking. Just make simple steel brackets, fold, bolt together. (disregard the perspex cover that you can see)

i have to do this to mine,

did you shim up that bolt in your sump so you didnt lose oil pressure dean?
and did you run a catch can?

u only really need an oil cooler if u are behind cars often and getting low airflow to the front of ur car ... like track situations

mate is a state rally champion and he took the cooler off his subaru because it just wasnt needed

hope this info helps

how useful an oil cooler is..... on a B18?
i have a 350z b4 and it required to cool down after few laps constantly and an oil cooler allowed me to get few more laps
