All sifus!

One thing for sure, no hot engine problem, your engine oil will not be too thin/gas up ( to that extent ). I believe adding an oil cooler to the engine system is not necessary to N/A referring to normal driving, but a good choice for those who're 'kaki lari' ..... all sifu, please comment if I am wrong....

Its good to install an oil cooler no matter its NA or TC or SC. Keeping the lub oil within its working limits is good. Will help you avoid overheating problem and damage engine parts.

erm, anyone knows how much does an oil cooler cost and where do we find it? looks like its kinda rare this item....

Oil cooler is cheap... ranging from RM 50 to 200 depending on size / brand.

What is difficult to find is the adaptor - u need to screw this to the oil filter port n relocate 2 hoses to oil cooler. The oil filter then screw to the adaptor. Some adaptor have mounts for oil pressure / oil temp sensor - these are expensive.

Better if u can find a kit for your car complete with the oil filter adaptor and all the hoses and joints.
If u just have an oil cooler, dont stinge on hoses and joints. Get the best quality hoses and joints and preferrably "10 or "12 size. Also take into consideration of the length of the hoses. The longer the least ideal. Coz u dont want to fit it wrongly and suffer low oil pressure and that is ultra bad for the engine. U might even consider adjusting the oil pressure relief valve to up the pressure after the oil cooler is installed. But dont over do it as it can over stress the oil pump gears.
Just my 2 cents.

there are 2 size of adapters.for bigger type of oil filter and smaller size of oil filter.i just bought 1 oil cooler from chop shop at Rm100 and adapter rm200

3 years ago i installed oil cooler to my 4g15 engine.

seriously didnt feel any improvement. my 4g15 was a high rev engine, exceeding 8000rpm.

i guess u could monitor the difference if u have oil pressure n oil temperature gauge. but seriously without those meters installed, its hard to feel or know any improvement...

I have it installed in my 4AGE. U can't feel anything for sure, cos it only cool down your engine oil thus preventing your engine oil to overheat when high revving like during drifting or tracking.
So the purpose of installing it is just to protect your engine, it won't improve any horsepower.
