I've not read about any. But it honestly wouldn't be that difficult. There are two factory oiling ports that are capped off with large Hex key bolts right next to the front oil filter housing. One would only need to find out what fitting thread type and pitch would needed and install from there.
ive read on other forums where if you did not have any boost, youll lose oil pressure, which is understandable since youre filtering oil into more space where it is not needed. and to continue onto this, if i run 4qts of oil now, will putting 5 or 6qts minimize the oil pressure lost (if it does lose pressure)?
No one has done this, so it is all an assumption. But yeah, there will be some oil pressure loss, no matter is N/A or boosted. I would add whatever amount to the engine that the capacity the oil cooler itself holds PLUS the amount that both oil lines can contain.
Its a component in a car where oil or transmission fluid runs through to cool down before being recirculated into the engine. Thus giving lower engine temperatures and some gains in some aspects.

this cant be true... I'm fairly certain I've seen some pictures of Lexus 2is with coolers hmmmm :/
perhaps i will fit one onto my car and update on club Lexus... hmmm
uhhhh. What are YOU talking about? I don't understand.
Of course my car doesn't have an oil cooler, that's why I'm thinking about adding one.
he was snarkily pointing out that "oil/trans cooler" doesn't quite make sense (particularly the "oil/trans" bit) and was giving you reason to clarify in future posts so as to have your threads understandable by all.
Well, you could have an engine oil cooler and/or a transmission oil cooler (among other types of oil coolers), it sounds like the OP was asking about an engine oil cooler.
This has to be a "stock" photo because our cars don't have a oil filter housing that could utilize the above sandwich adapter. Very curious where on the IS-F those lines run to.

Anybody running trans/oil cooler on n/a or nonturbo engine?
