hey guys i was looking for an Oil Cooler Kit for my r56 but my car is auto. every time i look for a kit it only says for manual what you guys think

 

Our oil cooler kit works great for the automatic cars. One of the development cars for the the R56 kit was an automatic. You can order it here http://www.sneed4speed.com/mini-oil-...y-sneed4speed/

 

nice good to know ill for sure look at this one and i just notice it goes right on top of the oem FMIC. i have the ALTA FMIC would it be a problem to fit this oil cooler kit?

 

Yes I have a Helix and figured I could not run this.

 

ughh -___- yea i saw the picture installed but with out a FMIC

 

Based on the photos, I'm guessing this would not work with the TyrolSport FMIC:

Yea I guess an oil cooler kit won't work if you have an after market FMIC

 

Sneed Team!

Have any of your track addicted R56 pals installed your oil cooler kit with a FMIC? It looks like the best place to install is in front of the radiator above the crash tube with a lot of shaving involved. Any pics?

 

You can move the oil cooler radiator up to clear the front mount. This makes install a little harder because of more bumper support cutting and upper grill mounting. I'm sorry but we don't have any pics right now. You can also install the oil cooler in front of the FMIC but you have to trim the bumper cover and make a new grill. I hope to have a better FMIC oil cooler solution soon because the cooler doesn't get as much air flow when you move it up above the FMIC.

 

Thanks Chris. I look forward to a fix/change/solution and will more than likely pony up some ducats for it.

Any idea when you will guys start working on a solution? I am really interested on a oil cooler kit that fits with a FMIC

 

Should be this summer. We have a lot of R56 parts in the pipe line for testing.

 

Ok I hope you guys find a solution to this. I would for sure buy the kit I you guys find a way to fit a FMIC and the oil cooler

 

Make that two.

 

Our R56 oil cooler kit now fits MINIs with FMICs. We updated the kit to work with FMICs and non FMIC cars. http://www.sneed4speed.com/mini-oil-...y-sneed4speed/
We also made an install video
