Oil cooler
 

Anyone ever rigged up an oil cooler from another car onto your car? Would it be beneficial? Would it work considering there is not much oil pressure?

you would loose some pressure but not too much unless u stuck something on there that was rated for a turbo diesel truck. lowering the temp of the oil will help it breakdown at a slower rate and add longevity to your engine. ---- while ur at it add a remote oil filter or even possibly one with a replaceable cartridge such as http://tech.hybridgarage.com/tech/cmfilter/index.html

Ive found some on older Audi and Saabs at the junk yard.You can get one at the junk yard for about 10-15 bucks.May be less depending on the junk yard.Around here prices varry quite a bit frome junk yard to junk yard.

I think there are some older mitsus you can get a cheap oil cooler from if you wat to. I cant quite remember the car but it was a mitsu and had a oil cooler up front by the radioter that looked pretty tight. I guess I should have bought it when I went by. Maybe I'll go by the junkyard tommarow and pick it ip so I can use it when I put the turbo back on. By the way if anyone has a mitsu 14b for sale I'm always open.
