q: 2 smaller cores instead of 1 larger core? better or space conscious?
If you remove the air directors from the outboard ends of the lower cooling slot, you could place two small oil coolers on either side of the radiator, and then they don't dump oil heat into the radiator air stream.q: 2 smaller cores instead of 1 larger core? better or space conscious?
The two cores on the SHO, one is for engine oil, the other (far right) is for the transaxle. Quaife differential + road racing + heavy car + lots of horsepower = boiled transmission fluid unless there's a pump and cooler.i was just asking the opinion of 2 smaller cores like shown on the sho.
Pressure drop? Negligible, a few psi at worst. These types of flat plate coolers have multiple parallel paths on the fluid side, they're very low pressure drop and quite efficient at heat transfer. The SHO's oil cooler is 24 row, 24 parallel paths, and it will keep the oil at 225F on Willow Springs' big track at 95F+ ambient, that's on a supercharged 3.2L putting 410 HP to the tires. I used the same 24-row cooler for the transaxle with a 2.5GPM Tilton diff pump, and it's blazing overkill, I could probably use a 12-row cooler here.how much of a drop do those cores apply?
you are talking about the fitting that comes in these cores already? the 1/2 npt?
been there done that. adjustables are worth a million bucks. thanks for the heads up.
im probably gonna end up ordering the cheaper core and save myself the cash.

i did find something of that name.
Yeah, the smallest one is 1" to 1&5/8" nut flats, they're for holding the nuts on big industrial pipe flanges so one operator can torque the bolts without an assistant, you'd probably find these in an oil field or refinery mech's tool chest.Those things look ginormous... how would you fit that anywhere other than something industrial.
