Setrab is a very well known maker of oil coolers and I/C cores. They are used by top racing teams too.

No I will not run a DSMIC set up with these. I will run only one in a FMIC application. It is relatively large core at 19.75" X 8.0" X 3.5". Custom made end tanks are going to welded onto the cores.

The second core is a spare that will be stored just in case of a front end bad luck.

hmmm, I think maybe my oil cooler core is made by Setrab

Well I already am using two of their oil coolers on my car...

One for the engine oil and the other for the power steering.

ok, let me ask another noon question then. what's the point of using oil cooler for power steering?
I know you track a lot but you are not like turning the turrn all the way to the left/right all the time.

Well you already have an oil cooler for your power steering. It's that small serpentine in front of the AC condensor.

However on my car depending on the track, usually ones with lots of turns, the power steering oil would boil and i would loose my power steering.

So I canned the OEM cooler and got a Setrab unit to do the job. Since then no more overheating.

The cores look good. What are you going to do with 2?

Spare one in case of an accident.

makes perfect sense!
my oil cooler is from 2bennett.
my power steering whines for a bit in the morning on the 1st start. as everything warms up, it goes away
