Oil cooler and relocation kit plumbing question...

Hey gents,

 

Wanting to install an oil cooler with a thermostat onto my ol girl (rb25det neo er34), I haven't decided which kit yet out of all the big brands (probably greddy) but I'm currently running a greddy oil filter relocation kit.

 

The set up on the engine side will look like the first pic below, which answered my first question about whether it'll work/ stack up,

 

My second question is: will I need to change the plumbing of the setup to get the oil filtered in the correct sequence?

 

If the oil runs up to the filter and back as it currently does, and i add the sandwich plate, will it allow unfiltered oil into the cooler once the thermostat opens? Or will it work the same as having the oil filter screwed directly onto the sandwich plate?

 

Artistic diagram attached for your viewing pleasure also.

 

Any input or experience would be awesome.

Not sure about your main question re relocation kit but in terms on core placement I'd recommend in the guard under driver side headlight.

Also go the Greddy, I installed a Mocal at a huge cost and can't recommend it, here's some threads:

Appreciate the recommendations and the links brother! Your setup looks sweet. I've got a big ol empty space under the driver side headlight, definitely keen to mount it there!

Just gotta work out if the plumbing in the diagram will be okay and I'll be purchasing and installing as a complete kit.

Cold oil: Oil flows straight through sandwich plate, via hoses to&from the filter.

Hot oil: Sandwich plate thermostat opens.  Unfiltered oil goes out to the cooler and back to the sandwich plate, then on to the filter & back.

Your diagram looks correct.

      Um. No. Since Matt introduced the TIM it has become a lot easier to deal with the consequences of changing K for AFM and injector swaps. Then, tuning is a f**king doddle. No-one needs to know or care how many grams of air are flowing or any other bullshit. Need more fuel in a cell? Add more fuel. Need more timing in a cell. Add more timing. Need to adjust any of the other tables for warm up and so on? No harder than anything else. Sure - it's not an ECU system for starting from scratch on an arbitrary engine. But then.....it was never supposed to be, not recommended for, and almost never used that way. So.... On your engine, in particular, Nistune/Nissan OEM is about as sophisticated and difficult as banging 2 rocks together. Those ECUs are primitive and simple. There is nothing difficult there. I learnt Nistune from scratch, created new maps with extended axes, interpolated/extrapolated the original maps onto them and tuned my RB20 (basically the same ECU as your 26 ECU) all by myself, more than 20 years ago. And that was long before even TIM.

      Set of knee pads for a R34. Will fit every model I think. Comes with everything except the rubber covers for the bolt holes. Still in great condition. You will need to drill holes to mount these or use double sided tape. I can do free shipping and will be shipping from the Netherlands with tracking.

      Nistune needs something like an entire excel spreadsheet in which you build an abstraction layer that converts everything from real units you can actually measure into all of the various tables. The number of unexpected dependencies hiding in how the Nissan ECUs do math is a pretty impressive optimization trick for 8-bit MCUs but good god is it awful to actually work with in practice.
