No, the 1.9 has no oil cooler and doesn't need one, the 2.1 has one
located between the filter and the case.  It  won't fit with the 1.9
exhaust and cooling system plumbing, but can be installed remotely by
using an oil bypass system and tapping into the thermostat housing and
water pump for the coolant flow.
