Would it be possible to incorporate braided houses into this.

Say I puchase the core, relocator and thermostat and then supply my own hoses at a later date?

What I am getting at is: are the relocator, fittings on the cooler and thermostat able to take the screw in ends on braided hoses?

very interested.. will hopefully have some money freed up in a couple of months

No worries

Yep, not a problem, they will fit

Does any one have these fitted to their car?

I will def be in as soon as i have cash, thank god for the long time frame gb lol.

Will i need a high volume oil pump because of the relo kit the oil filter will not be next to the block? So will the oil reach the filters no worries if i have the relo kit on the firewall or strut tower for example?

If i was to go for the smaller oil cooler core (polished core) that you posted a pic of will it still cool fine for street applications as i also believe that the other core will be too big for my use and to try and find space in the engine bay for it lol.

so if i bought a dual filter relocator, a thermostat, and a oil cooler core, everything that is needed for installation would come with it? or would i need to get hoses made up?

Everything comes that you need to install

Hi Simon,

You wont need a hi flow oil pump(such as N1 etc). As the thermostat stays closed, while its cold and only opens when its hot. so meaning the oil is much thinner when its warm, rather then cold. the stock oil pump fill flow fine - even with it mounted many feet away from the filter base/block it self

just another really simple question (that is probably so simple it's stupid, but it's something that's been bugging me for a while)

when you do an oil change - how do you get the old oil out of the cooler core/lines?

You undo the filter, undo the sump plug, let it drain for ages, then if you want to, undo the fittings on the core and allow whats in there to drain back to the block, and then that will end up going out the sump, if you are really keen on getting every last bit out, undo the core and tip it up - but it doesnt hold enough oil to really justify that IMO

Thanks for that..

sorry to be a pain with all the questions, but does the sandwich plate for the relocator have any bungs in it for sensors (i.e. oil temp and oil pressure sensors)?

i'm just trying to cover all the little things that people seem to want to know about, judging by previous threads :D

Theres nothing wrong with asking questions :D

Can get a plate with gauge inputs if required but they made in Cchina and i dont want them to be included in to the kit as they are prone to cranking and leaking

For the people who have paid - your kits are in the mail as of yesterday, and i know one arrived today at its destination thanks to express post

Hahaha no worries mate

Yeah made it long so everyone could have a chance :banana:

Subscribe- I have to check my oil cooler kit first (got it last friday but havent opened it up)

More so interested in the thermostat. What size Barbed fittings does it have?

Can it be supplied with a 70-75 deg spring? Or can it be adjusted to open a little earlier?

    • This is aem disk setting in aem tuner and still 180 dgree off or ignition on exhaust cycle is it from cas it self as cas seems wouldn’t fit in cam shaft if wrong position and wiring been verified any ideas 
    • Oh yeah that would work excellent. Should be the same diff housing & everything. Shoot me a text or call me 260-750-2246 -Cody 
    • Oh right, I didn't realise it was your car. Please do! Makes me feel better about mine. I also have a big scrape on the front left bumper where someone presumably used the wall to guide the car into a parking spot  But somehow all the funds go towards mechanical things and the cosmetics stay forever unfinished... Interesting, I don't think I have seen it before. But after seeing @PranK's rusty roofline on the BMW I'd probably leave it alone. Wouldn't want water to get in there.
    • Thanks mate, thought you might know the answer.     
    • Infiniti US are teasing a manual Q50 as a way to refresh a (very old) model. https://torquecafe.com/manual-performance-sedans-arent-dead-yet/ Can't be too technically difficult given the Z has the same motor with a manual gearbox......here's hoping there is a JDM version we can import here, that would save me a world of headaches
