The HEL kit is thermostatic - it doesn't kick in until the oil hits 80°cHave you thought about a Thermostatic kit?
You don't want to run the oil too cold.
HEL use Setrab oil coolers which are supposed to be good.
You could always have a chat with Think Automotive in Isleworth. They sell Mocal etc and all the fitting and may be able to price up a kit.
I have an inline thermostat at Bob's unit (Zealou5) which you can have cheap, but you would need to make sure you buy connections that fit.

Not sure what the cooler costs alone but £300 seems a lot. The thermo take off plate is £40 odd and if the cooler is £150 (say) then that's seems expensive for hoses and fittings.Would still like to know if anyone's used one on their car ?

Seems good value considering the Nismo is almost 1400 quid !
Think Auto can supply the Kit as this is where I got my 16row setup, but when running -12 hoses things can get tight. But the kit works and they provide great customer service.HEL use Setrab oil coolers which are supposed to be good.

Essentially the same thing as far as I can see Subaru Impreza STi WRX Mocal Setrab Hispec Competition 19 Row Oil Cooler Kit | eBay
Unless you are paying for ducting etc you'll still have the mount the thing and then work out the routing for the hoses. I'd be temped to buy the hoses after you know how long a run you'll need.
Or drop it with your favourite garage and ask them to action...
Ok thanks for the help guys - I'll give them a call when payday comes at the end of the month.Think Auto can supply the Kit as this is where I got my 16row setup, but when running -12 hoses things can get tight. But the kit works and they provide great customer service.
Sorry to thread crap slightly....how does the -12 hose kit work with the Mocal oil cooler takeoff plate ? Does it use 1/2" BSP to -12 fittings and is it their normal thermostatic sandwich plate or a -12 inline thermostat ?Think Auto can supply the Kit as this is where I got my 16row setup, but when running -12 hoses things can get tight.
