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?

    • No need to replace the cover if it is still intact (not worn through). It would be worth checking the balancer for matching marks on the rear, but I'd assume the balancer was loose at some stage. The cam timing marks look fine, once you put the new belt on you can only be right or a full tooth out
    • Disconnecting rods! must have been an unpleasant surprise...
    • So been ocd with timing mark but checked from few angle and seems both cam are on and crank is matching as well to the slot on sump and crank pully   i noticed crankshaft cover has been robbed as per attached pic. Any ideas why? Could my balancer or harmonic be on its way out? should I replace the cover? https://ibb.co/ZR1JFYRR
    • So now doing the change and first time dealing with rb so little nervous giving engine power and potential for screwing it up When you align all marks and then remove crank bolt, timing move little I assume you can put the bolt back in once you have removed the pully to get timing to where you want?   here is pic of my both intake and exchust cam aligned, depending on angle you look they seem to be either aligned or a half tooth or so out. Any thoughts? Should you angle your face and look at each mark that way as if looking straight rather than from above as it can be misleading   <a href="https://ibb.co/ZpnhcvbF"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/HfWrGR9b/IMG-4447.jpg" alt="IMG-4447" border="0"></a> <a href="https://ibb.co/4wm2wn4q"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/JWBqWwr1/IMG-4445.jpg" alt="IMG-4445" border="0"></a>   https://ibb.co/ZpnhcvbF https://ibb.co/4wm2wn4q
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy Haven't really thought of that yet, but you are right. If the hose was damaged it should be absolutely pissing by now. I'll put some heat sleeve around it for good measure since I'm already removing the line anyway.  Maybe I'll put on some of the stock hardlines if I ever fully remove the turbos again. Maybe when T51R modding the compressor housings? Might be a fun mod on GT28s for that "fake single turbo" effect.
