B&M cooler

Royal purple 5w-30

about 6 or 7 quarts of oil.

You do not need to change the pump for a cooler but can get a ported one for about 120 dollars U.S.

Actual oil fill volume will depend on which pan you use, but ~6qts is a good starting point. The oil cooler itself adds only a small amount of volume to the system.

If you're planning on a Magnacharger, I would recommed something using the newer TVS compressors. They have significantly higher efficiency, which means less heat generation under boost. With any of their US kits, you'll probably want to upgrade the heat exchanger for your application. You should be able to just replace their heat exchanger (Raditiator) with a larger one from Setrab or B&M. You can even run multiple cores in series if needed.

Ok, I'll be the first to ask: Why did Nissan put an LS3 GM engine into their SUV?
