Default Is it safe to run 3 oil sandwhich adaptors?? oil cooler question?

right now i'm running the stock oilcooler and a oil sandwhich adaptor to fead the turbo, head, oil temp sender, and oil pressor sender.
but during 60 degree nights i see oil temp at 210 and water at 210 when cruzing and 230+ when i start to boost

during hot 100 degree days it can start to over heat. oil can get to 260+ and water can be at 240+ when cruzing or in traffic.

i'm already running 2 pusher sliim fan'swith the stock integra fll size radiator. i cant get an full size aluminum radiator because i already have barely a few mm of clearance between the turbo compressor and radiator so a thicker aluminum radiator will not fit.

so i really am thinking of geting an earl's front mount air to air oil cooler but is it ok to have 3 oil sandwhich adaptors? is it ok to run a -12 lines for the oil cooler or will there be too much pressor lost? should i go with -10. reason being is because my firend has an oil cooler for sale but the inlets and outlets are -12.


a pic for more replys haha

Idea -
Run one oil adaptor for the oil cooler setup
Run a stainless line to the firewall from the stock Oil Pressure sender port and from the firewall tee off for turbo, head, oil temperature / pressure.

another Idea:
Run a fitting off the oil pump itself to the head (yes it can be done)
fitting from the stock pressure port to the turbo and oil pressure gauge/temp
and a sandwich fitting for the oil cooler

Run this sandwich adaptor. It has 10an fittings for the oil cooler and (2) 1/8NBT for your other accessories.

I run this with Oil Cooler / Oil Pressure / Oil Temp / Oil feed all from the same adaptor with no issues.

I was a little skeptical of the quality of this ebay part, but it really is very well made.
