Re: Factory Oil Cooler (migs)
You can simply loop the water lines to eliminate the factory oil cooler.
An external oil cooler can be overkill for a street/light track car. If you are having problems with oil temperatures then they are a great solution. Above 230-240 degrees, most oils start to change viscocity characteristics.
However, I would go with a Mocal sandwich plate, as they have an integrated thermostat that is 10/90 until oil temperatures reach operating temp, otherwise it does take a while for oil temps to come up during street driving when you have an efficient cooler.

Mocal gets a huge
from me. I used a mocal adapter and a mocal oil-air cooler on my old JRSC setup.
