I wouldn't recomend an oil cooler to drop engine temp,you will be wasting your time.Get your water temp down and space the back of your bonnet up abuot 15-20 mm to get heat out.......Dave

Sorry playtime, but why do they fit Oil coolers to most turbo and Hi Po engines.......to keep oil temps down, which keeps engine temps down as well. A mate was having trouble with his turbo'd hilux years ago and couldnt work out how to fix it, ended up being the oil getting too hot, fixed it with an oil cooler. A lot of new cars are coming out with oil coolers on the engine (WRX, Camry's, Commodores, etc...)
GQ 4.2 Turbo Diesel, 4" spring, 2" body, 35" ET2's...etc
