Default LS2 Oil cooler
So i'm sick of my stupid high oil temps when I drive it a little hard at all. So i'm going to piece together a kit and install it in a few weeks.

I have a few problems with normal oil adapters for the LSx, most have the oil presser bung and are way to thick if I ever want to run headers in the future. So I was planing on doing a relocation kit but then I came across the TPiS Oil adapter its less then an inch thick and will just fit with headers.

I still need to decide if I need a thermostat and what oil radiator I should go with. I'm open to suggestions

Some say you have to, some dont. I wont be, i'd hate to have a thermostat fail. Nothing oem comes with a thermostat so i'm sure you'll be ok.

Also setrab oil coolers are great, little expensive if you buy new but you can grab a good sized one off mustang boards when guys update their vortech kits. If not those, the ebay ones are just fine too.

I wasn't sure about the ebay ones they look a little cheap. I was also thinking about a copper core one. But i'll keep my eyes open.

Boost, because sometimes atmospheric pressure just isn't enough.

I get my fitting from Bonaco in Upland. They can also make up lines if you need them.
