Is it ok to bypass a oil cooled on a 91 talon turbo?

it is just a coolent oil cooler you can by pass it. I did not have mine hooked up on the talon for a long time till I put in the 90 set up

I also don't have mine hooked up to the coolant lines.

EDIT: I didn't leave them unattached, there are just no coolant lines to where the filter housing is on my motor.

Cool thanks alot guys. Is there a spiecal hose or is it just bulk.

Any automotive hose works, consider the 90 oil filter housing with external cooler, its easier to work with...

I don't run one in my talon either.

JET - Your oil is not cooled?

Nope, I don't think it has been at all with the 2.4. I do plan on adding an external cooler pretty soon though.

I would run a oil temp gauge if you do not have an oil cooler. I did not run an oil cooler on my car, but it never ran for more then 20min at a time and the oil temp leveled off around ~220f, I did not do anything until my oil temp was at least ~180deg. If you do not run an oil cooler you need to change your oil more often, the extra heat breaks it down sooner, etc.

People running E85 shouldn't have to worry about it quite as much either, since it runs cooler. I am not saying I recommend running no oil cooler as I plan to put one on my car. It is always good insurance.
