Rear oil cooler upgrade help

[SRT101969]

Need to upgrade oil cooling capacity, the cooler the better.
Thinking of installing an oil radiator + fan in the rear of the car (behind differential case), this setup will replace oil/coolant heat exchanger which is in front of the car.
Need help to make sure this will not damage my engine (trying to do the opposite), my main concern is oil pressure drop or some other issue regarding replacing stock heat exchanger.

Already installed dual radiator + fan too coll down transmission as differential.

Find a comp coup oil cooler and place it up front. IT is an air to air cooler that is 3-4 times the size of the stock air to water one. I believe ther will be too much strain on the oil pump and too much restriction to force oil though hoses that long.

P.S. Get rid of the stupid hose clamps on the diff cooler hose. That is an accident waiting to happen. While you are at it, get a real filter for the fluid also. Fuel filters do not work.

Thanks Steve.

Yes !! those clamps are not permanent, first thing to do is to replace them. That's not a fuel filter, it's a pre filter so no big particles go thru the tilton pump.

Comp coup oil cooler goes directly instead of stock air to water one ? (I assume it goes in front of coolant radiator) my question is regarding if I just replace oil lines with longer ones to fit in front.

On my race car I put a 16 row oil cooler in one of the air ducts. I had an adapter on the oil filter. Much easier and ideally the location you want to take the oil from. I had a temp sensor installed there for a gauge and the oil adapter had a thermostat. U don’t want to cool at startup. U need that oil to get up to temp fast or you can cause piston ring wear.

Got it! ,
"I had an adapter on the oil filter." what you did with stock oil lines ?
