Oil Cooler A Good Idea When Going Turbo?

[2k2SiAutoXer]

Is an oil cooler something one should consider when going turbo? I know the oil is doing more work but exactly how much work is it doing? I pland on visiting the track (not the 1/4) in the future so would this warrant the use of an oil cooler? thanks!

I recommend it if you are going to be boosting around the 10+psi range. If not, just save yourself the hassle of tapping an oil cooler line.If you are going to be doing track(roadracing) like I am, just upgrade your radiator(Koyo) like I will be doing once its released.

a radiator is a great upgrade, but if starting small, simple, and available now -- what about changing the stamped steel oil pan to the RSX-S Aluminum pan? I would think it dissapates heat faster and is therefore a good low cost upgrade. That WOULD be why the RSX-S has an aluminum one, right??

Just an idea
