Rb26 Water To Oil Cooler

[sickr33]

hey every one this is what i was thinking.

the rb26 runs a water to oil cooler standard.

i was thinking of trying to make this set up more efficient by cooling the water coming out of the block to the oil cooler using a small oil cooler/ radiator before it enters the oil cooler.

you might be asking why bother?

well the reason for this is

1. The stock setup all ready has a thermostat inbuilt.

2. I could use a cheap cooler and worst case scenario is it leaks or splits and i only loose water and oil pressure is not lost there fore no chance of damage to motor due to loss of oil pressure.

3. The overall cooling system is improved be having a second radiator even though it is small.

4. So from what i can gather it is much cheaper. less likely to lose oil pressure and helps with the overall cooling of the car.

please comment on my idea.

has it been done before?

have i missed out something important?

i have up loaded 2 diagrams to help explane one is the stock system and the others shows where i would extend the lines and put extra cooler.

cheers

you will cool more water than oil.

The surface area of the water to oil cooler is too small.
