Now THIS is an oil cooler	Sun, 27 June 2004 09:35

THis is the oil cooler i today fitted to the ma61. its a stock unit out of a 87 v12 jaguar. Measures: 730 long, 120 high, and 50 thick. Pretty serious coller eh? And it turns out perfect fit for an ma61, with fitting JUST going insides the inner chassis Bracket still needs to be powder coated, and the two top brackets on the bemper bar still need to be painted also..so pics are a bit rough. http://users.bigpond.com/jannilee/blake/cool.jpg http://users.bigpond.com/jannilee/blake/cool1.jpg http://users.bigpond.com/jannilee/blake/cool2.jpg http://users.bigpond.com/jannilee/blake/cool3.jpg http://users.bigpond.com/jannilee/blake/cool4.jpg just thought id show you turbo boys if you have the room left?

Dad gave it to me when we did his JAG LT1 350 chev transplant just now. Will have an oil temperature gauge installed before car is running. But it shouldnt run too cold hopefully. Being such a hi-compression, performance orientated motor it should run the oil reasonably warm, so the cooler is a great upgrade..and if i decide to blow it, its there for me to use That coupled with a twin z9 filter remote kit should bring it up to about 8L of oil..exactly what i wanted.

I have a fairly large oil cooler (nowhere near that large though!) to go in my MA61, but there's just no room left in front thanks to my "cooling block". I'm investigating the possibility of installing it in the inner guard; it should work OK, I just have to figure out how to get some decent airflow in there! [Report message to a moderator]

ducting is your friend...show me it next time im aronud norbie, im sure we might be able to organise somewhere to put it! i Had many places in mind, but concluded down under the bumper was best for me! Edit: Norbie is there and room left on top of the i/c?? [Updated on: Mon, 28 June 2004 01:43] [Report message to a moderator]

No room on top of the IC, or anywhere in front really. [Report message to a moderator]

I'm investigating piping into the engine bay or bonnet vents...for my purpose theyd be cooling the extractors, but im sure we might be able to fit some piping in yours as a duct too...ill have a look at my possible places and compare them to your car on the site.. [Report message to a moderator]
