Ok well Im wondering if anyone out there has used the ebay universal oil cooler with success . I mean its worth a shot before I start dishing out $500+ on one from AMS or Greddy. It would save me alot of cash so please let me know what you guys think.

 

are you talkin about the one thats anodized blue?

 

it will provide cooling because of the inherent design.. I have a few laying around, Don't have any hard data either..

I'd imagine that something with a bit more R&D behind it would work better

 

is the stock one not keeping up? do you road race or something?

 

Um nah im doing a motor rebuild and the past owner of my car hit a racoon on the side where my oil cooler is and its kinda dented so I was looking a new one for least amount of money.

 

ok, just making sure.

 

i guess lol y r they bad?

 

dont buy cheap parts that will ruin your build glory. Stock it better then the ebay crap.

 

true story

 

look at the MAP one that's the one i bought a little over $400, or you can get the STM one for just over $250 but you have to fabricate you own brackets. The MAP one comes with brackets and fits perfect.

 

my vote would be map or stm

 

look into the part out threads a few aftermarkets are in there! dont be cheap cheap blows up!

 

Agreed with the posts above. If you want to do a DIY kit, use at least a brand name oil cooler.

 

or you can piece it together from summit with a B&M cooler for about $150.

 

thats what i use Ebay, so far so good. oil cooler itself is bigger by volume than any other I have seen including ams. I got very good oil lines thou. I think i payed $95 for it. Even the shop where my turbo got installed were impresed with the quality.
