does any body know the internal diameter of the oil cooler hoses that go into the radiator?
an with regards to fitting an 8 row cooler what height it should be whether it should be higher than the sump, lower than the sump or the same.....
An 8 row will in most cases lower your oil pressure by about 0.5 Bar. The standard in rad one works fine for road or track as long as the revs are kept under 7400RPM.

I plan on fitting mine down where the carbon canister is and use the fog light hole for airflow or a duct across from the side of the intercooler, as for the pipe internal diameter it's 3/8" as far as I'm aware.

Don't forget to check your oil pressure if fitting a cooler that will lower the pressure.

I removed my oil/water heat exchanger in favour of a mocal thermostatic plate and cooler up front of the intercooler (pictures in my project thread somewhere). As I have a oil cooled turbo the oil was getting very hot but now stays around 90-95* and my pressure has increased slightly (+0.1-0.2bar) rather than decrease.

I'd thought about the central position for my cooler but I'm favouring mounting it in the area of the carbon canister (now deleted) as I don't want to place a heat source in front of the I.C. as the car is only doing very short sprints up a dragstrip or hillclimb for the majority of my sport thus it would be quite hot in my eyes with all the standing time and not much cooling is going to happen in 14 seconds and the run is then over, obviously the oil will be cooling nicely on the run back to the paddock after the stresses of the previous few seconds, but I need and instant chill to the cooler so leaving it with a clear cool air passage is my way forward, if it where for circuit use then I'd probably go for the central position.
