The bosokuku guys out in Japan are very much not what you think - most of these wacky setups you see in that picture are usually faux oil coolers for looks (musc like all the boldish body cladding, etc) and has to do with the old 70's club racers days where they were literaslly stuck on the front of a car like this. As my freind Makoto mentioned to me long ago: "Oh!! These are racer's set up! 70's era, EVERYBODY put these style oil cooler in front of their 4 door cars. Most of them are fake. The oil hoses are put into empty grill and lined to nowhere!" #-o
But I am looking for performance and I know that my oil temps creep only a bit on the track.
Some cons I had pondered:
1) Cold days - what to expect?
2) Wanting to mount it up front in front of radiator - anyone experience any rad or problems with this being so low? A position like this:
3) Leakage - Do Look for a unit that uses all aluminum aeroquip connectiors and SS lines?
I am looking for a simple cooler and not an oil relocator. Thanks for the feeback.
