I'm looking for an oil cooler kit for the track car. I am after peoples experiences: what are you running and are you happy with it.

I have found some on US ebay for $60, and $950.

Relocating the filter is part of a lot of kits, so I'm interested in this also.

I don't see how you can go wrong with the cheaper kits on US ebay, as long as they don't leak. Cast/billet - what's the difference as long as it works? For a track car I think it's a good idea but I don't know why people think huge oil coolers are good for street cars. I've run a cheap cast relocator in the past and it was fine.

Ben, PM Dave Cazes on here, he can hook you up. I'm yet to install the one he gave me, but after taking it apart (I was bored) it looks just as good as the Earls one I had on my last car.

I think they will cost around $350ish (confirm with Dave), have the ports for 2 senders and are billet as well.

The price sounds right for what I've seen around. What size core is it? I reckon there is enough room for 300-350mm wide, and about 230-250mm high at most. I know most aren't that tall, but a lot seem to be very,very wide.
