The setup that was originally on the car. 3 hot laps in Pasir Gudang sent the Defi oil temp to 118 degrees C.
Comparison between Earl’s 25 row core and the GReddy 13 row core. The Earl’s core has a much higher denser fin pitch and row count even though the overall size remains the same. A larger core was not chosen for packaging reasons and also taking into account the overall cooling performance required.
The core looks abit slanted due to the angle that the photo was taken. Some minor adjustments were made to give better clearance when the bumper was fitted. The final orientation of the two coolers is like \ / where the bottom edges are closer together.
You can see the greater tilt of the passenger side oil cooler core to provide some deflecting for the incoming air.
Frontal of the car after the installation of the twin coolers. Here you can really see the cooling surface that the twin coolers provide. The cores are tilted backward to give better ground clearance and for the passenger side core, it is tilted a little more so that it can deflect some of the incoming air towards the air filter sited directly under the passenger headlamp.
