Oil Cooler?

I used a Mocal T stat plate, fittings and lines I already had.
I found a Setrab cooler I really liked as it had the fittings on one end so not in front of the AC condenser but I also cut out some of the bumper beam, so you might want a different cooler. I would at least open up 2 or 3 rows of the grill as some of it is not in front of the beam.
By removing the factory cooler you can run a much bigger oil filter, better filtering, a bit more oil in the system, you will need a 12mm allen socket, or wrench, to remove it and a "nipple" to install the sandwich plate. I will have to look up my notes on the fitting I found.

While doing this you can drill holes in the crash sensor beam and the upright section to get more air to the AC/radiator. Or removed the upright and make a smaller crash sensor mount beam....like I did:)

A couple of pics here in the Mishimoto radiator install thread.

You are most welcome:)

I will have to dig up a bit more if needed. I used a brass threaded coupler to install the Mocal plate but it was not quite as long as I wished it was so looking for something a bit longer, I will let you know if find one or ask later to remind me please.
