I need to find a place to mount my dual line oil cooler do you think this would be ok so long as everything stayed intacked when the engine is revved hard or do you think I should risk placing it between the intercooler and the radiator? I can make it so the CAI (so to speak) clears it ok but I am not so sure about its effectiveness being so close to the exhaust pipes

Excuse the wiring mess and all the other mess it will be cleaned up eventually.

I would personally put it between the radiator and intercooler or if you could fit it then in one of the front corners. Its functional the way you ahve it, but if you did put it there i would make sure that my mounts were SOLID cause there doesnt appear to be much clearance and if your engine rocks and crushes that thing, well, that would suck i guess!

If you get it between the radiator and intercooler, make sure you ahve very good slim fan (s). Will it not fit directly behind the radiator? If i mounted it in a place where there would be no airflow whatsoever for sure, i might think about routing a hose through one of the fogs or something and point it towards it.

another option would be to get a smaller one and lower the intercooler as much as you can and install teh oil cooler as high as you can between the radiator and intercooler. I mean you could do the same with the current one you have. It appears the cooler you have in the pic is overkill, though.

After months of fighting the temptation to buy a moroso breather can I decided to tweak an oil catch can that I was going to use but didn't know where or how (just liked the price). So it will now be the recipient of the air from the valve covers.

Another idea is to mount the one you have in the pic between your rad and intercooler, and attach a small fan (slim fan) to it. So then you have best of both worlds. You get it out of the way, and it gets airflow to it, and you dont have to decrease your oil capacity by getting a smaller one.

I'd be a bit concerned about the oil cooler there, though it'd be more about potentially turning it into an oil heater. Hot exhaust beneath and I'm not sure what you get for flow vertically in front of the engine.

lol yeah almost everything bought after the turbos is overkill, but I hope there to be a reason for that down the road. It wouldfit fine between the radiator and the intercooler which is kind of where I am leaning. It does have solid aluminum motor mounts and a blackend damper though . It also has a serious high flow SPAL slim line fan on the radiator that kicks ass I must say.

Also a very good point. I think I am going to opt for putting it between the radiator and intercooler the fins are wide enough to not obstruct the low of air. But I still would like more opinions from those that have them. On a side not it seems to decrease the cool factor of the engine bay there lol.

will a slim fan or any fan for that matter, fit between the radiator and intercooler with the oil cooler you ahve now? If a fan and the oil cooler fit together between the intercooler and rad, that is where i would put it for sure. Thats the best opinion i got for you tonight!

 

[Telion]

A slim line fan would fit there possibly even in sandwich style ie intercooler then oil cooler then slimline fan in an air pulling direction.

 

[Telion]

Ok I think I have decided to put it between the radiator and the intercooler. Then if the need arises or the price is right I have room for another slimline fan in there inbetween in all, though I doubt this would be necessary.

Pics of it between the two and maybe I can plumb some ducting ti hit it

Center console near completion update:
Admittedly the flash does make it look much better than it does

 

[ACKY91]

Wow. I like Center console. Looks really good.

What kind of oil cooler is it?

 

[Telion]

Thank you, being my second attempt I think I am going to be happy with it for a while since it meets the needs of holding the gauges I decided to go with.

Is it going to be running by 2009?

 

[Telion]

Indeed it will and possibly in 2008

Ive got a question. When you complete this turbo charging of your motor, and have it tuned and finalize everything for yourself to enjoy, do you plan on giving the rest of the community something to go by?

Basically what im saying is when your completely done and enjoying your turbocharged legend, will you at some point share with the rest of us what you did, what is needed, piping sizing, lines used, etc?

Or even possibly do a write up for everything that is needed to accomplish this and/or possibly market a "kit" for users to purchase?

Any insight into this is much appreciated.

Did you browse the last 40 pages or so at all?:thumbsup: Hes basically built it in front of our eyes. There are a lot of BS posts by the rest of us in between but the whole project from start to finish is here.
