I would propose the location and size to Chris or Nick at ZAC, they have advised me on this in the past.

Hear say can get you in trouble. For what it's worth, I would use what the manufacturer recommends.

Don't know how to get in there to drill. Can you cut away material on the wing so that you can drill those holes? Robert, The lower rear skin gets cut out behind the spar (30 mm front to back) & also in front of the rear channel (50 mm front to back) for access to the wing attachment bolts. They don't show a cut out dimension from side to side. This info is on page 7-V-7 in the drawings.

I would research this more before I did it though!

Big advantage is that it does not absorb water nearly as badly as normal.

Has a EA 81 Subaru built my self, The water Temp has been running about 220-230 and the oil temp has been running close to 250. Have tried different oil coolers and they have helped. Installed a 7 row Harrison oil cooler off of a certified plane. Mounted it in front of the oil pan. Had to modify the cowling but it is worth it. The oil now runs at 215 and water at 210. I think I can improve on this after I seal around the opening in cowl to the cooler. Still a fantastic flying airplane.
