Goodwin Racing NC Oil Cooler & Thermostat
Posted: Fri Jun 24, 2016 2:16 pm
Another fun project and resulting product to share with you guys. Just released our complete oil cooler kit for the NC.
Goodwin Racing Oil Cooler and Thermostat Kit
The cooler is Mishimoto's 19-row all-aluminum unit and the thermostatic plate is billet aluminum, also from Mishimoto.
We designed the brackets in-house and implemented some cool modularity there (more on that in a bit). Hoses are nylon fiber braid over rubber inner line for abrasion resistance, while not sawing through nearby components like stainless braided hose can do. All the lines ship pre-assembled to the correct length with AN fittings.
A bit more on those brackets.. we developed the oil cooler kit in unison with our MP62 supercharger big heat exchanger upgrade. This allowed us to design the brackets to be modular so that multiple configurations were all possible and everything would fit nicely together. This means you can run the oil cooler kit entirely independently on a naturally aspirated car, OR you can run it in conjunction with an MP62 kit's standard heat exchanger, OR with our MP62 heat exchanger upgrade - and regardless of which combination of coolers you have, everything is packaged nicely together.
On to some pictures! Sadly, I don't have a photo of the oil cooler mounted by itself, but here is the MP62 big cooler and oil cooler mounted together showing how everything can package together (and our triple-pass radiator behind )
The thermostatic sandwich plate:
Here's the oil cooler and bracket assembly by themselves. The oil cooler is available in silver or black:
Photos above were during development. The production version of the hose assemblies are all black:
