v6 oil cooler

[General Baxter]

is there any mod to remove this and fit an external ?

[burgo]

you know there is you tit

[Dirtydog1]

ive used a front mounted xe one. works very well.

[John]

Is there any need?

[Dirtydog1]

i did it because they get mega hot and pack up at the best of times, let alone when in a tiny nova bay.

[burgo]

Is there any need?yes standard set up is ****!! deffinetly worth doing if its going to be anything other than a motorway mile muncher

[John]

hmm, i know of a tb'd 2.5v6, rr'd at 250bhp, still running the standard cooler.

[John]

hes very brave then.

Really? it runs fine? (please don't think i'm being pedantic) Tell me why he should upgrade to an external?

[General Baxter]

because the cooler breaks down, and puts oil into the water :p

Really? it runs fine? (please don't think i'm being pedantic) Tell me why he should upgrade to an external?as baxter said and it is just a rather poor design. also if you whip out the oil cooler you can do the block mods to improve the cooling route

yes yes i know the age old problem of that baxter ( i worked at vauxhall for 7 years!) he re-newed it when the bods went on, 5 minute job with the inlets off. I was thinking more along the efficiency lines on a tuned engine?

[Jack]

Natch, the standard cooler is very efficient. Until it breaks and leaks lol
