Oil Cooler Needs?

[tbauer03]

I recently had a motor tear its self apart and I need to replace my oil cooler to get rid of contaminants. I previously ran a setrab 50-619
The motor I am building will run 11's do I need to run a bigger cooler? Or even a cooler at all? I have heard a lot of guys just running a short filter off the block. But I don't know if that is a good idea on a higher hp build. It would clean up the engine bay though.

Re: Oil Cooler Needs?

Setrab makes a great cooler... I have used them many times...

On a different note... Are you running a filled block?? If so, a cooler is very important.. If not, you could probably get away with a block mounted filter...

I like the stock filter araginement as it makes oil changes very easy..

Use a can of transmission cooler flush, might go with 2. I wouldn't throw it out, if you do throw it this way. Good luck with the new build

My Typhoon was running 11.3 at 118 in the quarter mile and it has an
On the block filter with no cooler. I am upgrading to a filled block build so
I will be running an oil cooler.
