Oil cooler questions

[416stroker]

I was gonna set up an oil cooler on my m50 think it would work if I routed it threw an automatic transmission radiator. I think it might not flow good enough but I dunno i might just order a real one.

Why not just use the stock one?

oil cooler ,Boom !

Making your trans cooler into a engine cooler means it will go Boom ! Use the stock cooler.

Which plate/filter housing are you guys using? This is one of me next additions as the cams have upped my oil temps.

[PiercedE30]

I'm using a MZ3 S52 housing with the oil cooler ports drilled out so they actually work and had the back side of the return port (one closest to the front of the motor) welded up to force the oil through the cooler, since there is no thermostat. Either that or you can pick up an S54/Euro S50 oil filter housing.

I was thinking about getting one too, anybody actually running the IE adapter? I was thinking of doing one of those with a nice big cooler from Summit and calling ti a day.
