Recommended Oil coolers & questions

Could you pick your own mounting spot? Sure but why reinvent the wheel, use what people know works.



Would these fit just fit w/ Stillen G3 intakes in the front (per mounting spot)?

Yes, some minor cutting may be needed but only in places that will not be visible or effect anything.



Does the front bumper sit flush over it?

Yes



How much more oil is needed to compensate for the oil sitting in the lines?

Usually just under 1 qt more



Is there a company that makes a cooler w/ a by-pass switch/valve to completely shut or at least somewhat close off some of the oil being passed?I only ask this just for the 'just in case' scenarios from when traveling to a colder climate that sees freezing temps

None completely shut for good reasons I won't go into here. For colder weather a simple block off plate is effective and can be installed with a simple Velcro strip for easy removal.



When you do an oil change, do these lines completely drain as well? Or could I have to disconnect them to train it?

It' won't drain completely, but even in a normal system you never get all the oil out and it doesn't hurt anything.



How much cooling can these things do?

34 row is good for simple forced induction builds

25 row is good for NA tracking

19 row is good for spirited street driving



In terms of what possible temperatures can I be looking at cruising on the freeway for an hour?

180F





Any companies offer warranty?

As far as I know they just warrant their parts only Z1 and Stillen.





Would there be any problems or retrofitting involved (such as removing, or moving a line or something along those..lines)

Depends? Not clear on the question.



Price isn't an issue; though I am not looking to spend 2-3x on something that will perform the same with a cheaper option. Not looking to upgrade after that as well (unless it breaks of course). It is looking to stay once it is mounted up. Car is going to be N/A for its life unless someone throws a free supercharger at me.

I'm pretty sure you'll be fine with a Z1 cooler setrab 24row, Thermostatic kit.
