Hey guys,
After not having enough clearance for my down pipe on my HX35, i'm going to do an Evo IX OFH swap. With it im going to run an external oil cooler, and need help deciding where to mount it. I had an idea of mounting it on the driver-side of my FMIC, but i have not seen anyone mount it there before. Reasons I wanted to mount it there is for an easier instal (no custom bracket), more air flow, and appearance.
My concerns are the oil cooler is going to be hot, and may cause my charge temps to rise. This car is by no means a track car, and will used as a weekend warrior.
Saw a thread about the same thing but was not resolved, so i thought i'd start a new one.
Any input is appreciated!
