Where Did You Mount Your Oil Cooler?

Hey guys. I just finnished installing a Grex/Trust oil cooler kit and some gauges into my car. I was just wondering where you all decided to mount your cooler? I have a rather large front mount that takes up most of the space in the front end. We ended up mounting mine infront of the drivers side wheel between the cooler piping and gaurd.

Yeah thats not a bad idea. When i get my new bar i may move it. The cooler kit i got was a universal so it had really long lines. I think i could have mounted it there but i dont know how much flow it would get there. Il take pics later.

I mounted mine in pretty much the same spot as you coaster. The reason I decided to put it there was because it wasnt long/rectangle like the one posted up. It was more square so wouldnt have fitted in the grill.

Also the front bar has a cutout in it facing directly onto the oil cooler which made sense since it would be getting its fair share of cold air. Didn't like the idea of clustering up my radiator area with it either as it already has a front mount in its way as well. A mate helping installing it had also done the same and it had worked well.

The first oil cooler i had in there was second hand and started leaking from what i think was stress on the bent adaptor so i replaced it with a setrab!!! fantastic quality. Well worth the extra coin.

HKS relocator + earls/speedflow fittings + Setrab cooler = great kit!

      spot the stagea

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.

      OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
