801 ECI Titan oil cooler recommendations
Hi there, I’m hoping to pick up some advice on oil cooler installs for my recently purchased 801 powered by ECI io370. The cooler is a 7 fin exchange mounted in front of number 2 cylinder and clearly too small for the job. My thoughts are replacing the cooler with a larger unit in present location or mounting a 2nd unit on the firewall.
I would much appreciate any assistance from builder’s that have had the issue.
cheers
James

I worked through the same issues in phase one testing of my 801 with an IO-375. The forward mounted oil cooler was not adequate for the heat produced by my engine. I ended up with a firewall mounted cooler (airflow systems 2006x), with its own intake so as not to steal too much air away from CHT cooling. Bill Genevro at airflow systems is a wizard with this stuff, and was extremely helpful to me working through this.

Hi Jean,
sorry for the late reply. I have a Whirlwind GA200L-STOL . It’s carbon fibre ground adjustable 80 in.
cheers
