Hey guys where are you mounting external oil coolers on S/C'd cars? I have a non-Z51 car, will will C6 Z06 oil cooler mount on my car with a Vortech? Or do I need to go aftermarket?

I think you would be better off with an aftermarket oil cooler however I am also waiting for someone to tell me where they would mount it.

I don't want to mount it in front of the intercooler. I would also love to hear back from other supercharger guys.

Mounted mine in front of the driver's side front wheel liner. Had a hole cut and screen mesh installed so air could pass through the oil cooler. Nice and clean set up.

Can you post a picture? Also can you give me the dimension of your oil cooler and where you purchased it? Thanks

Yes I'm looking for ideas or pics as well as I don't want to mount up front blocking the intercooler or radiator.
