i have also read this post by STM.

https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ve...ooler-kit.html

which seems to be closed now for some reason

i was wondering if anybody had hands on experience with this unit or upgraded oil coolers in general. does it make that big of a difference? Any test results?
how about the mounting of this particular unit? I see that STM fabbed their own mount. does this mean i wouldnt need the stock cooler brackets at all?

 

It wont fit on stock brackets. It's a cheap alternative to replacing the expensive OEM unit. I use the same one, works great

 

Got a damn hole in mine. Will likely end up with the STM kit or similar and mount it up myself.

For now I just deleted it No biggie

 

how did u manage to do that lol

 

The hole or deleting it? Haha...If you are talking about the hole, probably a rock or something hit it. To delete it, all you need to do is remove everything & find 2 plugs that fit where the return & feed lines thread in and bam done. For a drag race only car, an oil cooler really isn't needed, weigh reduction!

 

I bought the Setrab one from MAP.....its a lot bigger then stock, so i'm assuming it'll be a lot better...and its a good brand...also a bit more then the STM one in that link.

I'm sure that one will be fine, can't see it being worse.

 

Yea for the hole something pierced it could see it clear as day.

As for deleting it bought these

this?
its a very nice piece but $$$$$$$$$$$

 

I have the MAP kit. Came complete, with new brackets, hoses fittings, etc. Was a breeze to install.

 

y did u decide to pay that extra $200 to go with MAP instead of STM? does it cool that much better?

 

When I build my engine, I definitely will be going with the MAP cooler. It is a high quality, complete kit, with awesome fitment.

 

i have the stm kit on my car. it fits great and havent had any issues with it

 

I made my own kit from summit and used a larger Longacre/B&M cooler (albeit i am using an Evo8 OFH on an Evo3). My fittings are push fit but you get the idea.




(don't mind the mess)



I realize everything is on the "wrong" side for you guys but you get the idea I am not sure about how low the Evo 4-9 oil pan sits but on my Evo3 the 90* fitting is a almost at the same level with the bottom of the pan I think a 120* fitting would have given me slightly more clearance. Batinc sells the metric banjo to -AN hose fittings but they are pricey. If you track the car...whats $80 extra for your oil supply?

Oil cooler BMM-70266, $76
-8AN to 1/2" NPT straight adapter FRA-481688 $6 each (you need 2)
18x1.5mm to -8AN fittings FRA-460818, $4 each (you need 2 as well as 2 18mm crush washers)
Hose ends and hose of your choice

 

/\ very nice.
and that is exactly why i cant justify spending $400 for MAP kit.....
