Oil Cooler For Supercharged Vette
hi all, i am putting a ecs 2200hd kit on my vette from my understanding the intercooler will heavily restrict the area to put a oil cooler. just want to know what people put in the fog light area, as thats where im looking to have it go. thanks.

May not be enough cooling especially for any track use. I went with GSpeed and eliminated the fog lights. I'm on the lookout for single row fog lights (LED, Yellow) that could be inlayed into the fender, but so far haven't found anything. GSpeed products work very well.

I have an Improved Racing MHX-520 on the drivers side. This is the largest oil cooler IR makes that will fit in the space behind the fog light. The fog lights are removed.
IR no longer has the 520. My understanding is certain components from suppliers were no longer available so it was discontinued and replaced by the MHX-521 which is the same size.
The airflow into the fog light hole was meager so I added some air grabbers which increased cooling significantly.

Oil pressure is 90 PSI cold and ~ 50 hot. I have a Melling pump with, I think, the low pressure spring.
I changed the engine recently so I can't say how the cooler and lines might affect pressure but I am happy with those numbers.
Improved Racing makes oil cooler adaptors for LS engines.
