Im looking around for an oil cooler for the celica. I will not be turbo the engine or getting a 3sgte, but i will do an engine swap in the future and will be using the celica on the track every once in a while. I know there are universal oil coolers, but im not sure what to get. Dont want to spend more than $400 and I would prefer a brand name.

So if anybody can enlighten me on oil coolers that would be great.

That's what I was thinking. The engine is already cooled by the water jacket. The oil cooler in the radiator is for the AT that doesn't get coolant running through it. I'm not sure how much coverage the water jacket has though. It's mainly around the cylinders and head so I really don't know how much opportunity there is for the oil to transfer heat to the coolant, I haven't seen a plumbing diagram.

It's a cheap enough mod that I think I'll give it a try and see if oil temps go down. It would be nice to have a more accurate gauge that I could quantify this with. Even if I could hook up a thermometer temporarily I could record results.
