    Guys, i've been running the universal oil cooler kit (from edw-R). The size of the cooler: length 29cm , height 14cm , thickness : 5cm , 11 decks. It is mounted in the centre of the front bumper with number plate covering 2/3 of the cooler.

    At the moment it is perfect as it doesn't take too long to warm up the car, during normal crusing it stays 80c and bit of a push or traffic it gets around 90c. The peak recorded on the street is 95c. On wakefield it gets around 110c max with the license plate off and the oil cooler fully expose

    My question is would big brand cooler such as Earl's or Trust have better cooling then the universal one? Also where does the Trust kit mount on the DC5R? Does Earl's have kit for DC5R as well?

      the expensive ones are better at cooling AND flow.

      i have tested both a edw-R 19 row core back to back against a Earls 19 row core.

      but price difference might not be worth it for a occasional track car...
