Do these cars Come Stock With one?

If so- Could I take the Factory lines and modify them with a nice B&M cooler, And what size would be recomended.


What are the benifits of a nice sized oil cooler?

 

Factory coolers are adequate unless you are running some crazy boost... Check the unit sitting between the filter and the block... it should have a couple of lines that run to the cooler in the front by the radi... At least that is where it is on 4gen... If you do upgrade to B&M, post your upgrade progress.. I am curious.

Good luck.

 

i dobut that possible to tap the oil lines off the stock cooler, because there are no oil feed lines, there are just two nipples for the coolant circulation through the oil cooler.

 

I dont think that 5gs have a cooler of any sort.....I have a B&M, I just dont have the guages to see what it ahs done....

 

nice oil cooler will have lower oil temps, hold larger amount of oil, and helps prevent thermal breakdown of the oil with use.

 

all the h22s have an oil cooler stock, its nothing fancy though, just a cooler slice thats stacked between the block and the oil filter, and it has coolant in and out ports to circulate coolant.

 

I hardly consider that an oil cooler.....

 

Isnt the 'U' shaped pipe with the metal disks around it that is infront of the AC and Cooling radiators. isnt that the oil cooler?
If it isnt then what is it?

 

Power steering fluid runs through those lines.

 

I know this is a little OT but would it be possible to hook a smaller cooler up to the P/S cooler or whatever that thing is in front of the radiator and a/c. I'm only asking cause it would make a fmic install a lot easier...

 

yes, they have aftermarket PS coolers.....they have aftermarket coolers for every fluid you can think of....except brakes, never seen one for that

 

Well If my oem one sucks, Is there a Kit I can buy, and setup?

I have a 5th gen base, and I plan to turbo when i get the cash to do it right and build the motor.

It wouldnt hurt to get that oil nice and cool as it sits N/A would it?

 

yes, you can install a radiator type oil cooler that sits up front and cools vie air flow. Do a search for oil coolers here, and on the web. You will find all the info you need.

 

Can someone please tell me what the part is that sits just above and to the right of the oil filter? It is a black heat proof sponge coloured metal object. This is missing on my h22a and am after the part number if anyone happens to know it.

Is it an oil cooler? or PS fluid cooler?
