DIY budget fender mounted oil cooler?
I'm looking at installing a fender mounted oil cooler when I install my rebuilt 2.4L. The Elephant racing kit costs $3,200!!! Seriously? $2K of that are just oil lines! Granted, that's with their finned oil lines, which I understand with the increased surface area of the finned tubes you get increased heat dissipation yada yada yada (ya, I took heat transfer in school), but I'm not racing on a track, or driving in LA rush hour, so that's a little excessive for my needs.
I'll part with $600-$800 for the fan kit, whatever. But there has to be a cheaper solution for all the oil lines involved from the engine, up to the fender, and back. Anyone do this on the cheap?
