anyone out there know of or have a gtr oil cooler.

doing alot of track days and on the advice of a m8 (Paul) i need a oil cooler to prevent oil surge in my gtr... the cost of a gtr engine rebuild is crazy so this would be some cheap insurance.

from my searching the go is a 29*27 cm core= 390

conectors and hoses are about 150. plus mounting

(artarmond radiators)

does anyone know a better deal

all help would be greatly appreciated

Hate to disappoint you, but what you need to stop surge is a baffle plate or windage tray. Bolts in the sump and stops the oil surging up the wall of the block and away from the pickup on long corners.

An oil cooler is a very good idea but all it does is that, ie. cool oil.

Baffled sumps are probably not available and if they are, due to the very low demand, are going to be expensive.

Best bet is to have some baffles made up. A good engine builder should know someone who will do it.

Problem with the RB engines is the crank cradle, it will somewhat get in the way of a good baffle.

You could just have a false sump floor put in, with holes to allow drainback, but if you are going to the effort, get a proper crank scraper made up.

Regards, Andrew.

Trust sell a sump upgrade kit for the RB26.It contains a larger

sump bottom which is welded to the sump after the original base

has been cut off.It increases the capacity and also lowers the pickup so you have more oil to play with.There is a round baffle

which the pickup goes into which stops the pickup from sucking air

Adelaide Engine Developments modified mine & they have since come up with their own version which they said is even better.

For the drags the oil cooler is not needed but for hard street use or at the track it is a must.

Call Darren at AED on 0882618813 if interested.I daresay he would only look at modifying a sump if he was doing a complete

engine build but it wont hurt to ask him.

    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
