Is this possible? Will it drop the pressure too much?

Seems like it would be a pretty easy way to install an oil cooler. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

If not, what's a better solution? Where should I run the line from/to? (considering that I'm using the oil pressure location already for my turbo feed)

This is the oil cooler I'm going to be using, it's about 10" wide.

I would think the return would be a better spot, but that might blow seals on the turbo.

 

The return is just drawn down by gravity, so I wouldn't think it would work there. The feed actually has pressure, so I'd think that would be more ideal. Anyone?

 

...Someone has thoughts on this...

 

i do! i do! Is the pressure variable with how much you boost? if so, that might delay the time it takes the oil to get from the pan to the turbo, which might not be good if it needs it quick. ...just something to think about... sorry I don't have any facts.

Throw that badboy on there. It dosen't look too big, atleast enought to cause a significant pressure drop. I still woulden't run larger than a -3 an line to the turbo from the cooler, you can use a larger line from the block/head to the cooler to keep the flow.

 

Did you end up putting this on? If so, let me know how it went. ...and how much you paid for that oil cooler. I just might have to get one too so i can be like SuperSH!
