    Which Oil Cooler?

    The choices are seemingly endless... Is there an after market favourite for our cars specifically for 450 - 500bhp applications? This is the sort of thing i've been looking at http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MOCAL-13R-HD-O...QQcmdZViewItem just not too sure what size and the amount of rows etc to go for?
    Any pointers?

    Cheers

    i'm sure that i read on a thread somewhere russ that it should be a 19 row cooler
    don't shoot me if i'm wrong though
    i'm sure 1 of the guru's will come and clarify it though russ

          Too big for what reason? Surely with high output engines it's better to have a large oil cooler to keep things safe?

              19 row is overkill i know people running around 450 bhp mark with 13 row .if located in front you shouldn't need 19 row .

                Jade - Do you mean you have a oil cooler where the aux rad used to be ?

                I'm thinking of putting one there as i saw my oil hit 120* on a trackday so want extra cooling.
                Would the standard oil pump be sufficent to pump the oil to where the aux rad used to be ?
