that littler one is an MX13/23 engine oil cooler

hey, isn't that the one you got from psylent knight?

Thanks for that. And yup it sure is! Gave it a good cleaning like he said it needed and sprayed it matt black.

i use the ma 70 one on my mx 13 with a 7MGT , but on rack cars i use the mx 13 oil cooler mainly to hsave space for other things .
basiclly if you have room for a bigger one go for it, but remember to cold is bad for hydraulics / engine oil

Yeh i remember reading in the TSRM that the minimum temperature for the PS oil is 80 degrees celsius.

should plumb in some temp sensors, would be interesting to see how hot it gets. Would a thermostat be too complicated and unessisary?

Would be interesting to see how hot it would get but im not going to go to the effort and money required to put in a sensor. I'd imagine a thermostat would be too complicated and probably unnecessary but the bigger guns should be able to answer that in more detail i reckon.
