oil cooler
i have a s3 12a with a bee hive. i also have a car that i am using for parts that is a 13b car. my question is what has to be changed to swap and coolers or will it work at all? and also is it really worth it?

Re: oil cooler
S3 radiator is a full face item. You need to fir a front mount oil coller radiator in place of it, OR mount an oil cooler in front of it. The JDM 12AT S3 had a full face radiator and front mounted oil cooler.
The outlets on the oil cooler on that one are at an angle and the oil cooler lines are longer.
front mount a S4/5 FC oil cooler and keep the S3 full face rad is what I would do. you mount it off the chassis rail connecting tube (if that makes sense).
The front mount oil cooler is a bolt on swap for the beehive. You will need to make some slight changes to your water pipes to the heater too I believe.
