Purchase/installation Of Oil Cooler?

[nemz]

thinking about buying an oil cooler and installing into my car, now its a fairly standard set up, walbro pump, 450x300x80 cooler, air partitioned and insulated k&n pod, 3.5" turbo back kakimoto exhaust, std turbo (altho i have a high flowed one sitting on my floor when i can be bothered going through hell to put it in!), 500hp walbro pump, bleed valve, turbo smart stage 2 blow off, running 15psi and thats about it...

so yeh for this set up considering its pretty standard, first off what woul i have to do to install one? where would be the best place to mount it? any recomendation's on the cooler to get? maybe second hand off something else? where do oil lines etc have to be joined? could any one please help and if any one could offer rough idea's for pricing

also the same for oil catch can

search button dude.

oil coolers are a common topic

[jvs007]

i have this theory and wud like sum1 to correct me if im wrong.....

if the oil cooler is sitting lower than the sandwich plate does that mean wen u do a oil change the oil in the cooler wont get drained ???

if the cooler is mounted and the lines coming out from top how does that drain out ???

goin on that duz that mean the cooler shud be mounted high......

[r33_racer]

thats correct..oil in the cooler and lines lower then sandwich plate or oil filter plate, does not get drained, so you then have to drain those manually when changing oil. If you change oil quite regularly then its prob not so bad to just leave what oil is in there when adding new oil.

ahh....i knew it !! thats why i mounted mine upside down so the lines are coming out the bottom and tried to mount it high as possible so the lines are running down hill towards the sandwich plate :-)

i recomend finding the biggest one you can aford.

tyre in oil cooler or 30 roe oil cooler in ebay. i almost got one but they are mostly dash 8 fittings(9/16 ant i had dash 10.(5/8) ize hose

my gtr struggles with oil temp with 2 25row dash 1o serek ones!!(mainly due to the 4 relief valves in the factory oil filter housings. so bigger is best and a pissy 19 row one wont cut it for a minuite.

you could fit a 30row one in(just) the front inner guard behind the brake duct.

hope that helps

hey Dave ... motor sport connections have adapters for moving dash 8 to dash 10..

i bought one of the just jap ones for $99 , had to get the adapters since they dont run std dash fittings on them..

yet to install it though, gotta finish welding up the support brackets for it!

[nemz]

ok so if i buy a 30 row one, with a dash 8 fitting could i get all the adaptors and fittings from just jap at kirrawee?, and installing should be pretty easy? i installed my front mount and customed some piping into my car so im pretty sure i could do it, theres now electrical involved?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

dont know if they have all the fittings there.. pretty sure they have the adapter plate for them though.

i got all the sandwich plates, remote filter unit, fittings and line from motorsport connections..

[nemz]

ok i just brought this oil catch can and just wandering how to install

yeah i know there is plenty of threads. i have looked and im still confused, as nothing is shown for that little bottom lug wtf does it do? and also whats the go on plumbing back to cooler piping? could some one do some pics with shit circled and explained or something?

that little lug is for when you mount the tank horrizontal like the first pic.. then the clear tube to show the oil level goes vertical instead of horrizontal.

there was a thread about 3 weeks ago with a full pictorial install run through..

[nemz]

so the 3rd connection is for mounting it sideways? so do i just block this off if i install vertically? and also whats the link to the thread as i searched throw many and were not very comprehensive or helpful, was more like... heres a pic of my pretty engine bay, make it look like this!

[Craved]

yeah thats pretty much all you can say with installs..

are you running it the legal way or illegal?

[nemz]

whichever way works best for the car!

btw for all you sick people!! shame on you looking at my 14yo brother like that!

[nemz]

just got my oilc cooler too, looks like a busy weekend for me, oil cooler looks easy tho, has 2 parts think it just bolts on where the oil filter goes then the oil filter bolts onto the other adapter run the lines to wherever i wanna mount my shiny new cooler and hey presto, but the oil catch can i also only got one line for it? FTW? thing is shitting me lol something so simple is making my head spin, i might actually go and have a proper look at my car tomorrow

also just to give people an idea.

i purchased oil cooler from just jap for $240 for the kit, and the catch can i got off flying performance for $45 or something

so how things are looking now, i have in my high flowed r33 turbo, 450x300x78 fmic with 2.5 piping, walbro fuel pump, bleed valve(will be installing an electronic soon), k&n pod filter, 3.5 turbo back, home custom heat shield for pod, ssqv blow off, will be installing catch can and cooler on weekend any ways any feed back on what else i could do!

thinking about cam gears soon, and the elec boost controller and also an safc/tune, also some bigger injectors, any ideas on what sort of injector's/cam gears would be good? also any other idea's would be appreciated im hoping for a nice reliable stockish car that can push out at least 210rwkw with minamal lag and a nice power curve, but all in all its all about having fun fiddling with your car
