Nice one mate tried to get mine in the same position but didnt have enough room, yours looks like it fits perfectly
Wooooohoooooo!!!!!
Freds back in the game!
Good work mate, I'm impressed that there's room above the rad pack to pass the pipes through the front panel. I might look into that for mine, I want to relocate it at some point.
me and fred got the cores seperately for a bargain price.Then he got all the fittings from one place i believe, its documented in his thread somewhere.
Sorry fred im bored and thought i may aswell answer for you.
Sandwich plates are thermostatic jase, so cooler only opens up once its up to temp, well, 80odd degrees. Temp would probably rise a good 10 above that at least with use regardless of ambient.
Be good if there was an accurate way of fred measuring his temps on a long experimental drive. Do some cruising, see how it sits, then some hooning and see what happens.
Scullies, if you want me to measure my core i can. But like westy says its 13row. I believe it was an oem replacement for some old mg or morgan or something wasnt it westy??
Is it ok for you to have a measure karlos as mine was to tight to fit there
Pretty sure you will be able to log oilvtemps with vcds as can pull up oil temps with the liquid guage?
Pretty sure theres a spare M10 fine take off on the oil filter housing if your keen on a seperate gauge
Top work though mate as this will definately being the temps down on track

this is a good point. Me and westy have welly coolers. a core like the AH v2 might restrict what you can fit above.Stace, remember that the position and size of your FMIC will pretty much govern how much space you have for the oil cooler to sit on top.
i think you can only access water temp on the climate control. id like a pressure gauge taken off my oil filter housing port.
i wonder if you there is 2 in 1 type fitting/gauge. that would be awesome
i posted a thread about that a while ago

Does the oil cooler make mush difference guys how much would it cost all together for the parts
Thanks westy and prawn I am going to pay the nurburgring a visit in the next year other than that no track days.
i think I just want this for pease of mind and that its there if I ever need it lol my oil temp goes to about 94 degrees now on my liquid gauge on a very hot day. Ill be buying bit by bit for this think till I've got the lot.
also I carnt find the guy on eBay u got your bits and bobs off westy
Love you Karl.
Time to go looking for gauges.
If you're going just for oil temp then a liquid gauge would fit the bill wouldn't it? I remember you saying about the reading being from the sump but this is usually the case. I only bought the SPA as the liquid gauge isn't as accurate in terms of boost over ~21psi from what I've read and doesn't do fuel pressure. Shame it doesn't do oil pressure either.

Thanks. How do you work out the unassisted clamping force required for the DV? Also do you think i should get a full new unit or jus thet piston?
