No question about it...just spend a few extra bucks and upgrade it. No point in spending that much money on a OEM part.

 

come one man thats like have the turbo go out and buying another oem stocker instead of buying an fp red ,upgrade!

 

Id opt for an aftermarket one as well, setrab or something the rather, the cooler itself will cost no more that 150$ and you can go to a hydraulic line place to get some made, easily less than a 200$ build.

Or you can get some gasoline/kerosene/parts cleaner and run it through one end and blow it out with high pressure compressed air and do the same to the other feed hole, works like a charm actually. I actually did that a few times to ensure no chips present and then dipped it in parts cleaner overnight and sprayed out again next day.

 

This is the exact reason we now offer our core which is not just superior to the stock core but also uses a higher quality and larger core then the Greddy uses.

hope that helps you out

 

you can have your oil cooler cleaned at certified aircraft shops for around ~200. they will ultra-sonically clean it and FAA certify it. that is the only way to really clean an oil cooler. otherwise buy a new one

 

you have many choices...many companies sell them such as: ams, hks, blitz, find a used one that came a a clean motor, or custom one....and if you are not doing road racing or any racing of that type and just daily and drag you do not need one.

 

I'm leaning to http://www.bakerprecision.com/setrab.htm

 

thats why they are called.."STEALERSHIPS"

 

i bought mine used for 100 shipped from mike@awd
there not that big of a deal to need a NEW one at
a price like that if u are gonna spend that much money
spend it at AMS and get an aftermarket that will work
better then the stock one

 

Just wondering what you ended up doing and how it worked out for you.

 

Nothing yet still gota get the engine and stuff out so I can send it out to get rebuilt.

 

dooo itttt

 

dang how do dealerships expect to sell parts for that price?

 

yeah, if you're rebuilding any major parts like oil cooler, intercooler, cooling system (hoses and radiator), head gaskets, cams, heads, pistons, etc. you get the idea, AFTERMARKET is way cheaper than OEM, better reliability too if installed correctly. . .I'd go with Greddy or AMS. . .

 

You can probably find a similarly sized Setrab, build some brackets (if needed) and get some adapter fittings for way less than that.
