    “cool down” an RS2

    Hi there!
    Does anyone know if this fits on an original RS2?
    I want to “cool down” a little bit the oil on trackdays but I don’t have a clue what to choose…
    Thanks.

              Remove the small radiator for water that's in front of the engine. Block the radiator hoses. Then fit the new oil cooler where the old small water radiator was. Remove old small oil cooler and make up new oil pipes to fit.

                He is in a very hot climate. I wouldn't remove the aux. Radiator.

                You can fit it in the original space and it will not be that low. Others have done it successfully.

                  I agree with the first paragraph.

                  About the second one, well, I’m not that sure. This radiator looks a little bit bigger - the overall dimension is 210x330mm.
                  More, I think the original place can be better. But were?

                    An 8 row cooler is sufficient. That's what I ha e and worked fine in Greece

                        …don’t forget that the main problems are the TD, on regular use I don’t have any kind of problems.

                          Thanks man! I suppose it fits!
                          The only doubt I have now if it fits with the under engine cover

                            Even on TD you should be fine. Use lower rating thermostat and coolant fan sensor and that also helps a lot

                              Is there not space in front of the air con radiator for an oil cooler, if you really need to stick one in , if you are inventive, it should be feasible ?

                              Post up what do in the end.

                              Thanks.
