Pictures of your oil cooler?


Recommended Posts

Guest Z1 Performance

For those running an external oil cooler, mind posting some pictures of where you have it mounted?

Also, while we are a perforamance parts vendor, I have never seen an HKS, ARC or GReddy/Trust oil cooler in person - are these really any difference between those and a B&M or Fluidyne cooler? I have teh ability and parts to do all the braided lines myself, so that part is easy, jsut wondering if the coolers themselves really differ much in terms of quality.

Thanks

I know B&M offers the oil coolers as well, as we have had some orders on them

The thing that got me was the price difference is staggering - I can get the Fluidyne's for around $200, Mocal for about the same, B&M is only around $100!

Meanwhile HKS and GReddy are, well, far far more $$.

ARC is another league altogether - I know they make top notch items, but not sure its worth all the extra price for what I need to accomplish.

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
