Recommended Oil coolers & questions

I am installing the 19row for tranny and 34row for oil this weekend on a 2014 Touring Sport.
From all of my pre-planning I only see me drilling for the mount brackets. No cutting.
All my front mod parts were from Z1. Intake/Coolers
They are very good to deal with and work with. Lot's of people like them from a lot of feedback you will see in forum.
But you can go with "Name Plate" products too if you want bragging rights....
(Personally I liked the savings and can use that money on other "Name Plate" deserving mods that are seen without opening a hood.)

Hey cool I did the same 19/34 setup. You can use mine to copy if you want. I combined the two mounts and ran the 19 in front of the 34 (doesn't seem to effect the 34 at all).

I just might have copy this.....
I was going to have a fab shop make me an extended bracket to mount on passenger side.

But if this worked better for you, then I might just go your route instead.

I do wonder though.... If I paint mine before mounting, will it jack up the cooling? I have seen some guys with painted coolers around town.

You mean paint it other than the already painted black? It may affect it but I don't it would be super noticeable. Scientifically black does the best job of heat transfer though and I had seen a test done once with a semi controlled environment testing intercooler efficiency and just painting the same intercooler black dropped the outgoing air temp by quiet a bit. So would I recommend to paint it? No.

You don't need a fab shop if you know how to use a drill and a counter sink. If you go Stillen AT and Z1/F.I. Cooler all you need to do is counter sink the Stillen plate where the holes are to mount to the rad support, then lay that plate on top of the setrab brack and drill through it where the Stillen plate matches (I think only 2 of the 3 holes line up but it's more than enough support). Then get yourself some flat toped tapered head screws and bolt the two plates together (you will want really short screws and thin nuts, I ground the nuts down to the same thickness as the z1 bolt heads that sit under the setrab plate). Now space the 34 row cooler up a little with washers to clear the Stillen plate then install both coolers and put in car. Works great, no need to relocate the power steering cooler in the other side to fit the AT cooler or anything else.

I was going to fab my own bracket but then when I saw how easy it would be to combine both I just did that instead, easier than trying to use my buddies mill and finding material and no one will see it behind the bumper.

Not an entire paint coat of whole cooler. I was going to have a stenciled mark on the lower side and it wouldn't be to thick. More like a logo but not a brand name. I doubt it hurts it. we shall see.........
