mocal oil cooler setup

[kellsled]

bought a full mocal oil cooler setup and went to fit it last night,i found a good place for it but the cooler isnt upright its upside down would this make any difference to it functioning as i no people mount them on there side.

It's better to mount with outlets on top especially if running non thermostat sandwich plate as if you mount it with outlets on bottom then the oil will drain back out of the cooler when you turn off engine and then obviously it has to fill the cooler again when engine starts which causes a oil pressure drop in the engine

ive been thinking of one of these..

He is running a thernostatic sandwich plate, so can it be run upside down??

recomended by mocal to run them either the right way round or on their side

i drilled though the front lower crossmember and made up some brackets to mount it off the bumper bar, just remember wherever you mount it to use rubber washers at the mounting point to damp vibrations, otherwise can risk damaging the cores in the cooler

the lines you can run over the top of the cambelt side engine mount easy enough

perfect location for a cooler as it is exposed to the full mouth of the front bumper for air flow, will be similar on your dc2

Mines mounted where the aircon rad used to sit behind the grille. Uniterupted airflow and less likely to get damaged by stones or road kill
You should ALWAYS use a thermostatic
Plate on a road/track car imo

-8 or -10 is best to use for oil lines
