GTM Motorsports Oil Cooler

One question I do have about your install, it's not clear to
me why you didn't install the cooler with the hoses on the bottom? You said you don't want to drill holes in the bumper frame, but why would you have to?

And to Modshack: thank you for the insightful info on the IAT's!

Basically because I'm not smart enough to figure out how to do it. If you use the existing holes the oil fittings would hang too low. The ideal would be to drill new holes in the bumper frame on the inside and hang the cooler downward. Problem is no room to drill the holes.

Maybe a 90 degree drill would work but I was fresh out of them when I did it.

Ah, I get it, the bracket is too small, making the cooler sit too low. Thanks again for the feedback!

Your welcome. If someone where to replicate how I mounted the oil cooler I seriously doubt it would take over an hour to do it once the car is jacked up, the front and dust cover removed.

Just drain the oil, remove the filter, drill a 1.5 inch hole, run the lines through, connect the filter adapter, connect the lines, snap on the bolt clips, put the bracket on the radiator, connect the lines to the oil radiator, bolt the radiator in place, neaten everything up drilling one hole for the clamps and a few plastic ties. Your done.

Pretty damn simple after you've done one and no way in the world would you need to spend more money as your not going to get anything that works better or is easier to do.
