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?

    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
    • Ah coolant overflow, previous discussions make way more sense now lol. 
    • ok. Yea, then I would need to remove the turbo and weld an adapter on to it instead, if I fuc* this one up.
