What happens to the oil pressure after you fit this ?

Do you have any readings for the pressure with OEM and that ?

Should be fine Alex as it will allow a bit more oil capacity also, will post if i find this incorrect.

Very nice, looks very similar to the HPF Oil Cooler.

Did you try OEM cooler with blanking plug first or other coolers?

[AlexGTT]

Looks very similar to mine.:thumbs:

Alex, I got excellent results and no oil pressure drop.

Could you not just put the oil in the fridge?

I used ideas from Both TMS and HPF cooler but used a better Core and slightly larger :wink:

What results Alex?

What results Alex?

25deg + ambients held oil temps much lower and delayed water temp rise. Ultimately didn't hold back the water but the oil temps don't rise at all past normal range. They did before and quite quickly.

What are the typical oil temps to see on track with the standard arrangement?

It is still playing on my mind the whole heat soak issue......

I see about 120-123 on track everytime. Which is why I was looking into oil coolers, but it seemed like nobody had ever put an oil cooler on a non race car M3 despite these temps. Oil coolers for the M3 are also 2 or 3 times the price of the average car aswell, unless you can make your own kit, and I wouldn't know where to start.

A few CSL have a/m oil coolers such as Turner and HPF etc.
