Oil cooler curiousity

[MetaruBZG]

Hi, im kinda new at this, so just want to ask info on this...

Since svt's have oil cooled pistons, can i use an oil cooler to cool the oil? I know that it isnt nessesary but if can, is it difficult to install and what do i need?

feel free to comment on this.

if you always like to rev the living daylights of your car and frequent sepang often then an oil cooler is highly recommended ...

I see, so let's say, i want to mount it, what would i need to get going?

you need oil cooler adaptor ... hoses ... and oil cooler .. if you are going for a relocation kit ... you'll have two adaptors and extra hoses to hook it all up ...

btw, how much does it cost? and do I still use my stock oil pump or need a better one?

if branded set about 600-1k ... customised set about 400-500 can get .. no need to change oil pump ... the oil pressure with the oil cooler is still within the factory specs ...

FYI last time when i had my oil cooler and normal driving oil temp is around 70-80c ... and rev 2nd gear 3rd gear and 4th gear all the way to 8k the temp straight away jump 10-15c hotter .. this is just revving the engine for less than 2minutes .. imagine if revving for longer period of time .....
