I have read a few threads on oil coolers but no answer to my specific question.
I am thinking about a front mounted oil cooler on my 1MZ-FE supercharged.
The Charger is oil cooled and I will be tracking the car.
If I use a thermostatic sandwich plate and oil press/temp gauges to ensure my oil doesn’t get over 110deg on track will I cause oil pressure problems with the long lines that are going to have to obviously go from the back of the block through the firewall of the car, into the cabin and out of the front of the car to the cooler?
Would lines this long reduce oil pressure significantly enough to cause damage to the car? Oil pressure is as important as oil temperature with an oil system I realise, and the last thing I want to do is fit a “safety” feature to the car that does more harm than good.
I cant use the side vent for cooling as my rad for my charge cooler is in there.
So its either top mount or front mount and I dont really want an oil cooler on my roof!
It will also be used on road, so another question is what are the probability of stone damage?
Any help appreciated.
