Bobby Posted May 17, 2020 Posted May 17, 2020 Hi guys, quick one, looking to replace my oil cooler for an aftermarket one, my bike will be turbo so wanting to get one which will be right for the engine. Any suggestions into brand and or size? many thanks in advance. bobby Quote
Gixer1460 Posted May 17, 2020 Posted May 17, 2020 Air or oil cooled? No turbo bike has ever suffered with a big cooler (if the engine is making the heat!) Mocal or Setrab have a good rep - Chinese copies will be a lot cheaper. Dash 8 / 1/2" or Dash 10 5/8" fittings - bigger = less restriction. I didn't increase my 250mm width 19 row used with a 1100 GSXR when I added a turbo, but it did get hot during summer stops - best to keep moving or stop engine at traffic lights etc. Quote
clivegto Posted May 17, 2020 Posted May 17, 2020 (edited) 19 row setrab extra wide about 330mm pipe centres helps with steering lock. Does depend on what you are building as well. Edited May 17, 2020 by clivegto Quote

So the dash 10 5/8 are the ones to go for? What row would you recommend? Quote

Search out the Mocal oil cooling info on the Think Automotive website - lots of useful info there which should answer some of your queries. https://www.thinkauto.com Quote
