Recently at Pembrey, my car suffered quite a bit with heatsoak - saw oil temps rise up to 125deg
![]() Since this group buy fizzled out, i decided to buy the VAC motorsport oil cooler as there was a price drop. Its supposed to be 23% more efficient that oem and has the all important double pass cooling with " wavy fin technology " ![]() On initial impressions , the cooler looks quite similar to oem and you`re left wondering how this also has an increased oil capacity compared to oem! Anthony was very unimpressed with the size! ![]() Nevertheless , after a quick install ( 1hour job including oil filter and oil change) i`ve noticed that temps are now lower than they used to be after prolonged driving ie less by 10-15deg Only time on the track will tell if this efficiency persists...... PS: you can buy the 10 A/N adaptors but i would advise against wasting your money unless you need longer oil hoses. VAC also charge quite a bit for postage compared to Turner MS...... ![]()

Yes they have two versions. The one for the FI applications comes with a scoop. Thats the only difference between the two. The cores are the same on both applications (FI or NA)

One has been on the cards for me for some time and just come across this. Infact I spoke to Mocal yesterday and they're getting back to me soon to see what they can do but these options look interesting.
Anyone actually taken delivery of one yet? |

Ok, was at coombe yesterday with ambient temps of 18-20 deg. Ragged the car for 30 mins ( occassionally in 3rd but mostly in 4 and 5th gear) and the oil temp needle was dead centre
![]() Good heads up on the HPF cooler as its at a very competitive price!
