I've got the larger version installed, it mounts vertical not horizontal like the picture. Location is in front of the radiator on the left-middle side next to the silver aircon valve in the middle. You can choose to run the cooler kit with or without the OEM oil cooler block. I chose not to use it because it doesn't make a difference from my oil temperature reading. Normal street driving reduces oil temperature significantly (65~75DC) while under high load, oil temperature constantly remains under boiling point (90~95DC). Should oil temperature pass boiling point (100DC), it's a clear indication to change the oil. Motul 5V30W racing oil used.

Trust site shows 2 versions. The smaller version has less coils (10), if I can remember and (14) for the other. Kit comes with everything you need. Oil draining is required with an additional 1 litre of oil to be added due to cooler increasing oil capacity circulation.

I remember seeing pics of the spoon race car (N1 spec) and it was running an oil cooler. Whenever I get my oil pan finished (w/ baffles) I'll be able to find out what kind of oil temps I'm running at the track.

I have seen consistent 120C+ at the track, and I think I could do with some additional oil cooling.
However 65-75C seems awfully low for the street and somewhere north of rated operating temperatures. Isn't there a solution that incorporates a thermostat into the system? That would be ideal...
