Jdeac Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Where do you guys put your oilcoolers. When you run a intercooler. Recently purchased pyro. And would like to add a oil cooler. 1 Quote Link to comment
no class Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 underseat area with fan works great Quote Link to comment
Jdeac Posted January 31, 2022 Author Share Posted January 31, 2022 She is a little low. Will put pics on tomorrow. Gsx 1100 with gsxr 1100 turbo. What size cooler could fit in that area?? Quote Link to comment
Gixer1460 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 15 hours ago, no class said: underseat area with fan works great Seconded - granted mine is a GSXR, but it takes a std. curved 'M' oil rad with a R6 fan run off thermo switch in the sump. 5 Quote Link to comment
no class Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 I have some pics on the pc I could locate ......mine was a 90' gsxr 1100 turbo as well......but the cooler I used was a setrab 19 row iirc and positioned on almost a 60 degree angle ( bike was lowered so needed the tire clearance).....just above the front of the swinger pivot and just behind the seat latch .......fan was off a 04' R1 .

Jdeac Posted February 1, 2022 Author Share Posted February 1, 2022 Cheers. How have you protected them? As I have no rear hugger Quote Link to comment
Gixer1460 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Carbonfibre hugger on mine - I seriously wouldn't run without, engine oil loss is bad enough but oil on a tyre at speed is terminal ! Quote Link to comment

Is this the only engine cooling radiator you have? Is it enough for non-racing conditions? Quote Link to comment

Well it isn't a race bike, it was built for the road and it is the only cooling. Mind you it does have a billet bespoke big block with extensive finnage so that helps! 1 Quote Link to comment

Leave it in a standard place and have an intercooler in front of it, or move it somewhere. My block is 1127 standard (1216). I might be able to use second small oil cooler, but I would like to leave the headlights in their place). Quote Link to comment

Seems to have coped ok - having a big battery helps balance the loads, it was a DMS 700 equal to a Varley Red Top 25, 20A/h, 230 CCA. 1 Quote Link to comment

As my oil rad was curved, having the IC in front of it wasn't an option + personally, sticking another radiator in front of a cooling radiator seems counter productive to me! As my IC is about 2/3rds the area of the oil rad and 2" / 50mm thick, its difficult to fit anywhere 'inconspicuously' LOL! 1 Quote Link to comment

I might just try and fit my dual pass cooler there then, struggling for space due to my turbo being high up for gravity draining Quote Link to comment
Jdeac Posted February 2, 2022 Author Share Posted February 2, 2022 @no classdo you have any more pics of your setup. I have dyna fuel pump and regulator. Airshifter solenoids under the rider section of the seat. Battery box behind that. Do have some room behind all that though Quote Link to comment
Jdeac Posted February 2, 2022 Author Share Posted February 2, 2022 19 row in pic isn't going to work. What the dimensions of a curved cooler? Quote Link to comment
no class Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 right….,. from what I can see on your bike … that battery needs to be in the swingarm, plenty of space in front of the wheel . Had my battery there on my 6” over swinger …… free’s up alot of realestate under the seat . rubber mounted of course . the cooler should follow the same angle as the frame spars that go from the pivot to the top ……. fan on the inside just below where the battery sat .
