Default C5 Engine Oil Cooler

After having a great time at VIR these last couple of days, I found that engine oil temp is getting out of hand. I've got an A&A Supercharger, cam and a bunch of other go fast things on it. Yes...I know don't supercharge something you're going to use on a road course. With than acknowledged - does anyone have a vendor/source for a cooler that will fit somewhere where it won't interfere with the intercooler? I know pfadt used to build one for behind the license plate but I think they stopped. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you,

The best setup for you is going to be a integrated oil cooler in the radiator! Packaging and efficiency wins for the supercharged setup.

If you double pass your radiator you can install a laminova in the lower hose like I did.

I copied Pfadt, guess that makes me part Chinese.




The hoses aren't spread and dangling here, if you look closely in the rest of the pics they're properly secured. This pic was early on in the process.

Thanks for the inputs. I think I might try to copy pfadt also since it looks like a viable place and routing for the lines.

mounts were easy, ducting was 1 evening. let me know if you have any questions reverse engineering the pfadt setup.
