Need advise on B&M Oil Cooler
Need advise on B&M Oil Cooler
I bought the import oil cooler thinking it was 11x 4.5 x 1.5 and when I received it I noticed that included the mounting rails so its actually 11 x 3 x 1.5. Maybe that is ok for a honda but it is enough for a s/charged max?
Also the sandwhich adapter is about .5" thicker than i was quoted. I can replace that with an earl's for $25 and they will actually measure it for if i ask (earl's).
What do you think? Is it enough to lower the engine temp efficiently?
oh, its polished which was a little surprising...
Looky, its a baby:

well ask yourself how much cooling do u need? for a SC V6 it might be a weee bit small for you. but if you're ok now and just want to drop the temp a little..then it's ok. but don't expect to cool it down significantly...but the flip side is that your oil won't get TOO cold. oil that's too cold will reduce MPG (like u care)..and may cause sludge.
I have a B&M tranny cooler, and for it's size it is remarkably efficient.
I think you'll be quite surprised how well it actually works. I was amazed. And the thing is absolutely built like a tank, I installed my tranny cooler in the lower valence; where it will be exposed to a lot more rocks and road debree, but I can sleep at night because of it's solid construction.

That's the same size as Stillens cooler. You'll be fine - it's an extremely efficient design.

I was going to move the current oil cooler up behind the hood latch. There's plenty of room for the IC if you do this.

Go look at Brett's pictures.... the B&M cooler doesn't come with what's in the bag in adapter.jpg. There's also an adapter that holds the sandwich adapter (the big silver thing in adapter.jpg) in place, which I don't see.
