doesn't it take forever for your car to warm up like that?
edit: i guess that's the wrong question - but how does the system circulate when you eliminate the factory bypass hose? does the coolant just remain in the heads until the t-stat opens up? trying to understand the mechanics of it
on a side note this is a pretty old thread i think there may be more up-to-date solutions for the oil cooler delete
I have not seen anything different on the oil cooler delete/filter relocate front. The cobra engineering one pictured is basically whats out there from all vendors.
I have a different brand crossover delete but works the same, I have a very small hole in the thermostat to potentially help with bleeding but there is no bypass. It doesn't take very long to warm up. If I let the car idle in the drive way for maybe 5 minutes or so it's starting to get up towards operating temps (150-160ish) and 180 shortly after
