oil cooler and oil pressure sr20det

[Chrischeezer]

hello
I'm running an greddy oil pan and a ebay 16 row oil cooler. the lines on the cooler are super big and the cooler it self is pretty large. I was worried about a drop in oil pressure. should i be?

what oil should i run?.. before this i was running 20w50 mobil1 on my stock sr20det.
but now I'm pushing a bit more power and planning to do some road racing, auto cross and dirifting

so what do u guys think? should i even run a cooler?

What is your oil temp?

[Dousan_PG]

definitely run a cooler
i use -10 lines on my setrab
i still use 10w30
pressure is fine. but i have a new oil pump and stuff when i rebuilt my engine.

I'd agree w/ Dousan and say definately run a cooler if you're going to track you're car the cooler made a huge differance on my car. Also my oil press didn't drop when i installed mine. Good luck

-i dont know my oil temp my motor is not running yet,
-should i used a different oil viscosity? or stick with 20w 50?
-how many quarts do you think I'm going to need?.. greddy pan and cooler. 2?
im going to post some nice pics here soon..

[TheWolf]

well to be honest.. you're going to need enough quarts to fill up the cooler and the oil pan to the fill mark on the dipstick ;)

probably 5.5.

I run 5w-30 pure group 4 synthetic..
10w 30 is a good place to start.

i use like 6-7 quarts i think? i have a greddy pan, cooler and filter relocation shits ridiculous
but it works fantastic
just buy a lot of oil an dnever worry
i use non syn 10w30
motor is rebuilt brand new, no worries.
