Default Review on MISHIMOTO VS GREDDY OIL COOLER ?

Hey guys,

Chasing an oil cooler for boosted application. It seems the Greddy Unit is quite more expensive then the mishimoto unit. Anyone ever used a mishimoto? if so what do you think on the unit and build quality? How would it compare up to the greddy unit.

Thanks in advance

Regards Lyle

Both are junk

end of story

For a drag application do you really need an oil cooler.... my thoughts are no, you don't.

i pieced together a 13 row mocal oil cooler kit myself, saved 150$ from ordering a kit. i used a mocal sandwich adapter that has a 180 deg stat integrated in it. but i cant see the need for a external oil cooler for only drag racing.

This car will be a drag/track/daily driver where temperatures will get very hot. I am located in Queensland australia and our summers reach over 40c So yes i DO need an oil cooler.

Can anyone recommend one?

I've used an oil cooler from Earl's before, but not on a Honda. They are pretty sweet, but a bit on the pricey side. You pay for the quality.

You can put together you're own kit (which I would recommend) and get good quality parts. The oil adapter on the back of the block can be found almost anywhere for around $20-40 USD.
