Procharged 502 Mag Oil Cooler Recommendations
 

I searched and searched, nothing I found could help...

Winter upgrades will include installing a couple of new M1-SC (with associated upgrades & programming) to two 502 MAGs.

I know there are many items that are needed for the 502's to live a long, happy, healthy life so I am compiling some necessary info. The first being upgraded oil coolers.

What is available? Does anyone have any recommendations? These are going in a confined engine compartment of a BAJA BOSS 302.

I am already dealing with slight oil pressure drop at or near WOT for any extended period due to rising oil temps.

Call Mr. Cool great prices quality pieces.

I used a eddie marine large cooler, block adapter, filter mount and #10 lines, the merc stuff is junk, need to redo fuel system as well to make live with the procharger...

Planning on it. Going to pull the rails and send them to Eddie Young to be modified.

What is anyone's thoughts on using this adapter for a wide band 02 sensor?

Have something better?

I did not have good luck with Mr. Cool. Sent me exactly what I told him I didn't want and then would not return my phone calls. I would place him in the "scheister" category.

Maybe one of these would work for you, http://www.cpperformance.com/c-731-t...l-coolers.aspx

I am also shopping oil coolers for my M3 Procharged 502. Last year I ran the stock oil cooler. With no thermostat my engine runs around 110 degrees water temp. My oil would never warm up above 110 degrees until I ran the boat hard. For that reason I am considering one of these. http://www.cpperformance.com/p-26867...k-adapter.aspx

The thermostatic adapter the Hadley referenced is a great choice. We have used quite a few of them. There were some issues with the first few, but they have that worked out now.
As for a cooler, a cooler with a 3" x 12" bundle from Hardin will do just fine at that power level. A cooler with a 3 x12" bundle will be about 16" long overall. That will cool up to 700-750 if you run it really hard, and quite a bit more if you only run it really hard periodically.

Thanks for the Cooler size info Eddie :)

I am having Eddie do my fuel system which requires the elimination of the cool fuel and pump.

Is there an oil cooler that can go in place of the cool fuel? I will pick up the thermostatic adapter to run with one if I can get it to fit.

Seems like a good location.

I plan on putting my new cooler in that same location. I purchased 2 of these http://www.cpperformance.com/p-13327...r-bracket.aspx to hold the cooler to the existing cool fuel bracket. I am sure it will involve some cutting and grinding on the existing bracket. I recieved my new cooler and it is monstrous compared to the tiny fuel cooler.

What cooler did you end up with?

If you were asking me I purchased a 3" X 16" from CP Performance

Yes I was Thanks. I am in the process of doing similar mods myself, both to the fuel and lubrication systems. The $$$ add up fast!

So you will utilize the water line that once ran through the cool fuel?

When you get it done will you snap a few pics?

I am still a month away from tearing down.

Yes I will.

Mounted the cooler today. Fuel Cooler bracket works great for this. Even the factory holes lined up for bolting on the Stainless mounts. Only fabrication left to do is weld a couple of the unused factory holes shut just because I am being picky.

Looks excellent, that is exactly what I was thinking!

Do you think there would be any issues placing a cooler that is 19" in length where the cool fuel went?
