Hi Guys,

This is a C&R Radiators water to oil heat exchanger. Suitable for wet or dry sump installations but wont fit a stock car easily.

Ideally you use this with a cross flow radiator where the bottom hose is on the pasenger side of the car. Cool water from the radiator then goes through the heat exchanger to the block.

This is the second largest heat exchanger that C&R make and is the 18 plate version. For more info look here.. http://crracing.com/custom_built/external_heat.shtml

Cost me just under $600 USD. Will accept swaps for parts to suit an R34 GTR or $300 cash + delivery.

Item is located in Cairns, will freight anywhere...

It weighs about 8KG despite being aluminium, the heat exchanger core is copper.

Reason for selling:

Change of plans.... I was using some custom watercooled heads on my twin turbo VW race engine that allowed me to then use this water/air heat exchanger for oil cooling. The limited space in the car for radiators made this heat exchanger a very convenient method of oil cooling as all the radiators are used for cooling coolant only. Ive now switched back to air cooled heads, so the entire cooling system has been revised.

Its best to run the cooler on the pressure side and preferably with an in-line oil thermostat so your oil temps warm up faster and dont get overly cool on the track. I suppose you could run it on the scavenge side as well, though your oil temps where they enter the block would always be lower than your thermostat would be rated at due to plumbing length and heat radiated from the tank.

You never run a cooler on the suction side. At the most you run a strainer on the pickup or scavenge stages to protect the pump from debris in the event of a blow up.

Oil in and out fittings are a generic metric thread, I cant remember what exactly though. I had -16 fittings in it, but they are in my peterson dry sump tank now. All the sizes for dry sump systems seem to be pretty universal, the threads are the same on everything. You can buy adapter fittings at pirtek that fit with -8, -10 or -12 if you want to run smaller.

      My R32 Money Pit & The Headaches That Come With It

      I just put 2 and 2 together. This is a Neo converted R32. The Neo ECU (in concert with the R34's AC controller) runs the AC quite differently to how the R32 ECU and AC controller do it. If you just drop it all in, it won't work. There is some tricky wiring required, including changing to the pressure switch that the Neo controllers want to see. I don't know what it is, because mine was done by a guru. It was a year or so after I did that transplant before he worked out what needed to be done.

      Don't assume the AC relay signal from the ECU is +, some models including Stagea use an earth trigger.

      Hey good to see you on the forums! Haha Considering this cars past with electronic issues I am leaning towards it being a wiring fault somewhere in the engine bay. When testing the ac relay in the fuse box there was no earth trigger. I am probably going to try "bench test" the compressor by giving it direct ground and power to see if i can hear the ac clutch click otherwise I will be pretty sure I have a dead compressor. If it does work then I will be tracing some wiring it seems.

      Haha, the big brain move is to buy a second set of headlights to clean up or retrofit. I definitely don't have one sitting in a cupboard that hasn't been touched since it arrived. Just have to ignore the intrusive thoughts that suggest the second set is not quite as good as it could be and to buy a third set that the job would definitely get done with

      Nah I'm talking about the GTS-t with 15" wheels and single piston brakes.  I've seen them pop up occasionally over the years. You can see it in the brochures. Most were early models (aka Series 1).
