With the stock radiator the engine oil would reach 250 degrees, the Mishimoto rad issuperior to The OEM, 0.5" thicker and three core vs 2,..... and its a steal! Will be unloading all kinds of $$$ in this fix so I have to watch me pennies.
The Mishimoto I quoted is a single pass I think....
They have several available that fit in S197s. Did you get the FHP30x-302R-Hxf?

I did the $609.00 one, it is a triple pass.
Is it single pass design?
Have to hide my credit card!! Grants coming!!
Not quite sure how the Mishi oil cooler rates compared to the Setrab 948No escape!! Would the Mishimoto oil kit fit the bill since it comes with all the hardware? Assuming I go with the Mishimoto rad and take out the OEM Boss oil heater?

The OEM Boss cooler works and if you remove it you will at least need the 948. I know some refer to the OEM cooler derisively as an “oil heater,” but that is BS.
The 948 has a higher BTU capacity than the 172.
See BlackBoss and other posts concerning this subject, especially the CoolTech test threads, from several years ago.
When I installed the CoolTech 172 I ran it with the OEM Boss water to oil cooler per CoolTech recommendations. My oil temps with this combination ran 260 -275 depending on the weather and track.
When I removed the the OEM cooler and just ran the 172, my temps shot up close to 300. To get them back down close to the original OEM cooler and the 172, I had to add a 925 in series with the 172.
Now, I will state that my coolant temps are lower with the current setup.
I measure my oil temps pre-coolers. So I am tracking peak oil temps. If I measured them post cooler, which is what you get with some sandwich plates, the temps would look a lot lower.
then to run cooler than a car with the Boss cooler plus a 915 setrab, you might need an oil to air cooler capable of shedding about 110,000 to 120,000 BTU/hr.
When I had the FRPP radiator I didn't notice any cooling improvement vs. the OEM Boss radiator. With the C&R radiator, the coolant temps dropped about 20* in heavy-use conditions. It's not cheap but it works very well.@ArizonaBOSS , would you mind chiming in on your current radiator and it’s performance vs the FRPP unit it replaced?
