Ebay Oil cooler????
Ok well Im wondering if anyone out there has used the ebay universal oil cooler with success . I mean its worth a shot before I start dishing out $500+ on one from AMS or Greddy. It would save me alot of cash so please let me know what you guys think.

it will provide cooling because of the inherent design.. I have a few laying around, Don't have any hard data either..

I'd imagine that something with a bit more R&D behind it would work better

look at the MAP one that's the one i bought a little over $400, or you can get the STM one for just over $250 but you have to fabricate you own brackets. The MAP one comes with brackets and fits perfect.

Agreed with the posts above. If you want to do a DIY kit, use at least a brand name oil cooler.
