Oil Cooler For Rb26

[rumble]

I have a remote filter and want to run oil cooler from this-I have a Magna transmission cooler that I propose to use. Does anyone have any experience with this setup? I have heard people using it with good results but others have questioned it. Any comments would be appreciated.

I would not try to be cheap on an oil cooler setup. Get a proper Gready oil cooler kit if you want it done right.

I agree, if youre going to do it, do it right... Not all oil cooler cores have the same flow / cooling abilities, go for something brand name for sure.

I have a G-ready oil cooler, f*kING SWEET!, has a thermostat inbuilt so that it wont cool the oil when the oil is cold. Which is important if you live in a cooled area. oil is not fully affective untill at operating temp. Not only does it look good it works really well to

thanks for your input-sounds a new one is the way to go

Ive got a greddy oil cooler myself, so far no issues. Would like to see real world difference though between a car with and a car without.

Its not driving on the road that you need it for its on the track.

You dont need to get one with the thermostat, You can get the 100mile an hour tape and tap up the front of the cooler for when it cooled and your just driving around (winter)>that what we do with the race car.

Dunno bout GTST's, but my BNR32 and many others reaches up to 110⁰c with some spirited street driving. With a cooler it takes some serious hot day'ed track / street work to hit 100.

I use a Earls, cut from billet block adapter and oil filter mount. I use a Earls billet oilstat with -10 race fittings through out. Less then 1/2 cost compared to Jap kits, and you can choose the best core that fits your setup.

I have been trying to fit a Trust core into the drivers brake duct, though will have to sell it, and grab a Sereck, as even moving the stock BOV's doesn't give enough room.

F_uck brand name, your looking for an effect. If you can hook up the trans cooler you have now easily, and it works? then use it. If not, change it

Like ppl have mentioned, it'l get hot if you run it hard, if you track your car, or use a lot of WOT on the street; then you'll need one.

I have a justjap oil cooler on the datto, its ok, but the threads are way too easy to stuff and theres a constant threat of oil leaks if you move or disconnect it then reconnect it. Having said that, the cooler works well and it was apropriately priced for the quality

Ppl told me to make sure I got one with a thermostat. I got the greddy cooler + reloc kit for 970. If you wanna know where from, PM me.
