Perrin Top Mount Oil Cooler Relocation Kit 2015-2024 WRX | Efficient Cooling | Oil Cooler Relocation Kit
Overview
The Perrin Top Mount Oil Cooler Relocation Kit is designed for Subaru WRX owners who have upgraded to a front mount intercooler (FMIC) and want to optimize their oil cooling setup. This kit allows you to relocate your existing Perrin front mount oil cooler to the top of the engine bay, utilizing the OEM hood scoop for direct airflow. It’s an ideal solution for those looking to reclaim the front bumper space after installing a FMIC while maintaining or improving oil cooling efficiency.
Engineered with precision, the kit features CNC-machined aluminum mounting brackets finished in durable black anodizing for corrosion resistance and strength. The relocation kit includes lightweight, high-quality Aeroquip -10 hoses rated for 250psi and continuous temperatures up to 300°F, ensuring reliable oil flow and heat dissipation. Special high-flow check valves prevent oil from draining back into the engine, maintaining oil pressure and protecting engine components during shutdown.
By relocating the oil cooler to the top of the engine bay, this kit maximizes the functional use of the Subaru WRX’s hood scoop, which otherwise remains underutilized after a FMIC install. This setup not only improves oil cooling performance but also contributes to a cleaner engine bay layout, making it a practical and performance-focused upgrade for Subaru enthusiasts committed to maintaining optimal engine temperatures under demanding conditions.
