Message I bought a new 19 row Setrab oil cooler for my RB26 swap, and because of where the radiator and FMIC sits, I have very limited airflow (in my opinion) where the OEM Z32 oil cooler was located.

I'm thinking of mounting it on the passenger side behind my fog light duct, but I'm wondering does it matter what position it's installed at?
(can it be upside down? Can it be at a 45 degree slanted angle?) The lines coming from my Nismo oil filter tree are (M24 to -12AN and the fittings on the Setrab are M22x1.5 to -12AN (so obviously I'd run -12AN lines...not exctly small).

Thanks in advance.
