The setrab cooler they use is an excellent piece. Works well on my car.

Check the link I posted above about the SST custom cooler. I ended up adding a front mount with some brackets. One could have just tapped that inline with the factory oil cooler unit easily (thereby it has thermostat control). I know some people run TWO large coolers (one for SST and one for oil or 2x SST) but I would want to leave some airflow for the radiator to do its job!

My car ran a perfectly acceptable 205* oil temp doing 20 minute sessions in 90* ambient temps with the setrab oil cooler in the stock location.
Only benefit I see to moving it is not dumping all that heat on the passenger front tire.

Why add the weight of a larger cooler, longer lines, more oil, etc, if the setup MAP sells with that size setrab works fine? Also, this is with my car making ~450whp. V.8mr is running a stock turbo setup and will likely be in the low 300's for hp, so his oil temps will be even more controllable.

I consistently saw 250-260 on my stock oil cooler on track. I put a koyo piece up in the nose with relatively similar surface area to the oem one so I could close off the bumper openings. Saw at minimum equivalent cooling if not slightly better and don't have to worry about it getting ripped off going off track. I also kept a/c

Closing off bumper openings like Killerpenguin21 is another reason, though.

Using the available frontal air space designed with the side mounted oil cooler makes the most sense to me. I like the MAP kit with the setrab cooler for sure. I thought letsgetthisdone had fitment issues and MAP blamed your car ? Maybe I am confused.
I could just try throwing a SPAL fan on the OEM oil cooler like I did with the SST cooler. Sounds like that might just be an option. No one is screaming that sky high oil temps are a common problem with the EVO X on the track.
