hey i have a b18 turbo my plan is to run about 400-450 whp and i was thinkin about installing a air cooled external oil cooler, i already have the gsr water cooled oil cooler but i was wondering if it would be a good idea to also put the air cooled one on, is it possible to put this inline with my turbo oil feed line or would that hurt the turbo.

 

why do you need an oil cooler

 

x2, especially if you already have another oil cooler. I'd wait and see what temps you're getting before worrying about that.

how do you think this would be beneficial? First, you can't run a -3 line to an oil cooler. There wouldn't be enough flow to keep any pressure in it to fill any kind of cooler and be effective.

If you REALLY want to run an oil cooler, get a sandwich adapter and run -10 lines to a cooler.

 

I'm too considering an oil cooler, my oil pressure at cold start is around 60psi and once its hot it drops to about 10-8psi on idle which is in my opinion way too low.

Water temp wise it stays around 83-85 degrees on idle. When driving hard it can go to about 100 while crusing it drops to about 80.

I'm defenitly up for an external oil cooler once I recovered from my build and got some $$$

i dont think those are healthy temperatures for any motor

 

I hope he's referring to degrees Celsius.

He's from "Stoke on Trent". That's not exactly a borough in New York City.

He's from the U.K. So yes, celsius.

 

Yes, I was reffering to Celsius degrees.

 

ah ok that clears things
