I'm not running an oil cooler and I think I should be. Problem is finding something that will fit where my filter is, it's very tight next to the frame.

Do you have an oversized oil pan? I've seen where people have tapped in to the pan for a pickup and return line going to an auxilary pump then an oil cooler. It was on some non turbo big blocks at the local track though. Not sure how much they helped. What type of cooling do you have for your turbos? Oil and coolant or just oil?

I do have a canton 7qt dual sump on it. They're just oil cooled turbos. What sort of pump would you use to do something like that tho?

Manuellabour247

The ones that I know about use a low psi pump with moderate flow. They welded bungs on the oil pan for their connections. It was at the lowest point of the pan side. Then they routed it to an auxiliary cooler either in the bed or under the front bumper with its own fan. I wish I had some pictures. They were pretty cool. But again these were on big block race cars and trucks. Not for the light hearted.

Oh that'd be easy to do it's just the type of pump to use... Belt driven or electric? Finding a low pressure pump would be tough too.

All the ones I saw were electric mounted on the frame rail. 3/8 line in and out. The cooler was probably 6" by 10" for the smaller ones, and the bigger ones looked like diesel coolers. Maybe 12x18-20ish. The part that would kill me is drilling then welding on what I assume to be high dollar deep sump oil pans. Lol.

If you go that route I'd suggest some small shut off valves on the pan side so you can remove the unit and plug it if needed.
