Is there any auxiliary oil cooler which can install in center front instead of front left side, which i think it will affect the air-condition efficiency.

Peter,

The old Turbo S auxiliary oil cooler mounted up front, but that was a damned small cooler and not that good. For me, it was always a disappointment.

The most effective & efficient oil coolers I've seen and used all mounted up in the left front corner, just in front of the A/C condenser. These had minimum negative affect on cabin cooling and still my favorite package.

Agree with Steve. I just installed the oil cooler set up on the drivers side and the cooling is significant on my turbo and the a/c ran fine while driving in high humidity and 90+ temps.

Doesn't matter where you put it. The exhaust air has to either go right (through the existing cooler) or left (through the ac condenser). That is unless you plan on cutting a vent in the hood.

I agree with Steve, too. I installed carnewal GT cooler in sandwich with the AC condenser and have both very effective oil cooling and AC. Do not waste any time and money with a smaller solution. The only regret is that I have waited so long ...

What kind of oil temp drop do you achieve with secondary oil cooler?

rlme36

Never saw above let's say 8:30 on the temp gauge. When it did start to move up a little when stationary it drops very quickly when moving

NYC993

Thanks. And whose setup did you use?

The cargraphic one from Gert

Shouldn't it run cooler with 2 oil coolers?

In stop and go traffic, I usually stay at 9 o'clock. It may go just a tad over, but it gets back down at 9 o'clock.

However on motorways, it sits well bellow 8 o'clock (the third line), mostly due (probably) to the front air scoops which do a great job. If only I can find away to prevent all the bugs from clogging the the radiators - I should install some kind of net just behind the airs coops, I think.

Gert's kit is very nice, there are 2 versions
1) w/ AC
2) w/o AC
I bought the w/ AC kit which includes all the parts to accommodate both the cooler and the AC condenser, I later deleted AC and the condenser. The system works great on the hottest days under track conditions.

This cooler is somewhat easier to install than others as it uses a large Setrab cooler w/ front mounted ports, as opposed to some other set ups that use the oe right side cooler w/ top mounted ports

What about patrick motorsports one? Costs 1/4th of Gert's iirc.

you can also put in oil fan override to deal with temps in traffic.
Aux oil cooler is for track use.

I looked at theirs. I'm sure it accomplishes the same. I like that the cargraphic kit had been vetted and looks factory. I didn't want to hang oil coolers here or there, which has been done by some and that's fine if it works for you.

Anyone considered doing what Alois Ruf chose to do for the 993 BTR etc? This means mounting a long cooler into the front bumper bar and cutting "GT3" style vents into the top of the bumper. The air flows through the cooler quite efficiently one would think and may even create a reduction in front end lift at speed. Im considering it for my hot rod.
