Eghey from the states. I have a mocal oil cooler too, it is pretty fine quality, night and day to the chinese oil cooler I also owned.

I got an inline mocal one on order. If it breaks my engine I'll blame you lot.

You can't get E85 in the UK, well you could at about 8 petrol stations then it was stopped. There is an E5 I think though, it is the same nominal octane as the Shell 99 I use. Would E5 be better than a 99 RON (which has no ethanol)??? Both are 99RON.

I'm just saying the thermostat is one more thing to fark up, if only for it being an extra (heavy) thing hanging off the block, and an extra sealing surface, and if you want a sandwich plate for sensors that is another one, then you would have to relocate the filter...more lines, more stuff to leak/burst. So I have one SINGLE sandwich plate which gives me AN-10 off takes for the cooler and two ports for sensors. It keeps it simple. ...and my cooler is located in the grill and is easily accessible. If I want to cover it, it would take minutes. Ok so my car will not instantly be optimal for street driving on one hand and track on the other, but who's car really is? Unless it is some sort of transformer car and the street tyres tuck up and slicks come out, and the fluids change themselves, and a helmet goes on your head like Inspector gadget LOL?

It only takes a min to wrap a cover over the oil cooler. The coolant thermostat is only used when you cold start BTW.

So it's 'smart' now is it?

I wouldn't use a thermostat....just another thing to fark up, plus when it open it dumps freezing oil into a hot engine....good if you want to quench your internals mind lol.

Should hot oil enter the top or bottom of my set up?

What's the bung for Roy?

Thanks man. I was pretty sure it was a 10cm housing and a TD06 or equivalent. We'll see how it goes when it gets bolted on my RB25 eventually.

No UK. Where the trust tag was? Is a tag from where it was rebuilt just showing S/N and date I think? It's obviously been polished the cover yeah.

Can I semi-hijack this thread? This turbo has a receipt for being rebuilt as a TD06 20G. Anyone a clue?

Put mine in front of the rad after removing the AC.

Where was I advocating venting to air AND plumbing back into the intake? Maybe I got this wrong but the solution where you block the PCV valve then keep the other side plumbed into the intake via a catch can (which is closed), was criticised as allowing unmetered air into the system and someone said you have to just let the catch can vent to atmo or it screws everything up? Can't be arsed going over the thread to find what was said.

Some stains are hard to get out Hanaldo. /Did you know my spellchecker tries to correct your name to Donald?

Well you still get oily air being sucked in off boost so it is kind of half-arsed solution.

Er if the catch can is venting to atmo then it is venting to atmo and not the intake! That is the set up which is being criticised for sending unmetered air into the engine. I was saying that it does the same thing as the OEM set up except the PCV on the intake cam cover in blocked and the oil drops out in the can. If it send umetered air into the intake then so does the OEM set up!

It's no different that the stock set up in that regard though.

I like what I'm seeing under the hood.

Is that so? I've see a few set ups with the PCV blocked but the two ports on the rocker covers routed back to the intake either by way of a catch can or not? What's the problem with taht?

Hi where does the Plazmaman plenum have an off take for the brake booster? I see a place at the back for the Idle control valve, and one large port underneath for the cold start valve, but nothing for the brake booster?

New Jaguar XKR-S makes 550 ponies at the crank. Honestly what is the point if your RB25 - despite tons of work - is going to get you toasted by an exec in his flappy paddle luxo-barge on his way to work?

No need to relocate IMHO. Not worth it to have more hose and fittings which can potentially blow and lunch your engine in seconds.

Does it not count as a 'mod' if you disconnect the temp sensor and so you can be yellowed? Personally I have just de-catted the thing = winning.

He was actually driving an R32 with an RB20 in 3rd gear and at 3,000 RPM. It was slightly uphill.
