Today. I received the turbo oil cooler I bought from chilibluepepper who parted his 951 race car. I managed to mount the aftermarket oil cooler that he used. It seems he made perfect brackets to mount the cooler approx 2" away from the radiator on the a/c condenser's place. It fit perfectly.

After, I mounted it I thought it will be a good idea to have a grill/mesh in front of it to protect it from rocks. So, I bought zinc coated mesh from the local hardware store and trimmed it to fill the gap on the bumber. I think i came out pretty well.

 

Is the system a direct bolt on, is all you need the oil filter housing and its a direct fit? Ive been looking to just getting a 951 cooler for my 84.

 

Correct....according to the research I did, the housing is a direct swap and I can keep my original OPRV. Keep in mind though, this is an aftermarket oil cooler/radiator. The 951 stock one is smaller in area but thicker and it is mounted on one of the the sides behind the bumber which has an opening to direct the air flow.

 

Yeah thats not the part that worried me, it was the housing and the OPRV. Thanks for the help!
