Oh, Ok. That sounds pretty nice. If I did that, would it be wise to install a higher flowing oil pump to make up for the increase in oil volume being pushed through the system?
Fluids heating up quickly is a good thing. Hotter fluid flows better through small passages and therefore can do its job better overall. Wear occurs at start up when fluids are molasses and occurs again when temps go over a threshold. More oil will take longer to warm up but can still go over its limits without external cooling.Sorry, I should have clarified it more. What I meant by the oil being a limiting factor and the Transmission Fluid as well for an automatic, was the fluids heating up at a much quicker rate.

The amount of extra oil it takes to circulate through an oil cooler is probably negligible, but at least you will get some heat dissipation through the cooler.
It would probably only take a few extra minutes to warm the oil. If you think of it like water running through a hose, you just made the hose longer and filled it with more water.
Oil is formulated to protect during warm up. As long as you don't jump into a totally cold car and start hammering on it (which you shouldn't do anyway) I don't see a cause to worry.

I was saying that mainly to point out that extra capacity isn't what cools the fluid, it's the external cooler that does the cooling.
I just meam the increase in the amount of oil now running through the system. If I effectively am able to increase the amount of oil flowing, would it be wise to get a higher flowing oil pump?
Having two filters wouldn't impede the flow of oil? At least not too much, right?
If you modeled yours after the powerhouse turbo kit, you fabbed your own stuff obviously, but what turbo did you go with?
