Running it for 1y and going to RA and BH amateur track car driver doesn't prove anything. I'm sorry. Google oil cooler flow. Or study the coolant radiator. Hot on top. Cold on bottom. How is the flow on those ER coolers? Both on bottom. Very poor flow.

These have been proven on the track not only by ER but Race vehicles they sponsor. No issues to report.

Sure, we can all ignore physics that radiator core with both inlet and outlets mounted on the bottom will have poor flow.

Do you have any data to present? Actual flow charts? Anything? Just curious.

Oh yes, in closed environment, I successfully maintained even oil temperature to ( a must because it will affect the pressure and flow) record oil pressure with and without oil coolers and then used the Bernoulli formula to calculate the flow. Now, do you have any data?

I'm curious if anyone has any actual real-world data of this oil cooler not performing as expected and how much of a difference the mounting location has? To what percentage is the efficiency reduced because of this particular setup?

Will you stop pushing it onto people then?
