I have my coolers mounted in the standard 931 position and the samller one in front of the radiator. In the 12 years they have been on the car there has been no failure in the lines. If you use proper high pressure tube and fittings you should have no problems - you just need to make sure you run the lines to avoid chaffing on the steel. |

I ran the car with a slightly modified John H style top mounted cooler last night. Smoked a supercharged 1.8 Corrodo.
All I can say is: Hoo ha
Get a top-mounted cooler, and all you'll be able to say is "Hoo ha".
Guaranteed. If you don't say Hoo Ha, you're obviously very hard to please. |

You were saying that the bigger oil cooler was causing the car to run hotter because of rad absorbing the heat so I was thinking maybe the oil cooler could be relocated further away so that you could run bigger coolers and not have the radiator absorb the heat as much. Not much space so maybe the in where the fenders are, of course then you get tire dust and dirt thrown on to the oil cooler so it's not practical unless you are on track, and I don't know how big of a cooler you can fit in the fender area anyway.
