Hi have two newbie questions about oil cooler:

1) for a 4g63t Can i install the oil cooler direct on the oil pump? I mean without that piece on the pic where the oil filter is located?

2) Whith the oil cooler can i lower the oil pressure?

Thanks guys you are the best! If you have pics i´ll appreciate a lot

if the motor is a 90 4g63 it should have the correct oil filter housing... the 91 and up use water from the engine to cool the oil.

and no you cannot control the pressure with a cooler.

good question.. I would think it would stay the same..maybe drop 1-2 psi at most.. as all you are doing is adding more space ( lines and cooler) which means you need to add a lil more oil @ each oil change.. ( which you should unhook 1 line and let the cooler drain when u do a oil change).

No pressure loss (or very small loss) but you need more fluid for feeding the exchanger.

The best way for a good proper installation is :

Like an coolant motor fluid radiator.
With his setup you dont need to flush the exchanger on each oil motor drain.
And no air bubble stuck inside the exchanger.
Also best coolant efficiency ...

If you use an BSE kit, severals users recommends this method :
