Hi Guys,

This is a C&R Radiators water to oil heat exchanger. Suitable for wet or dry sump installations but wont fit a stock car easily.

Ideally you use this with a cross flow radiator where the bottom hose is on the pasenger side of the car. Cool water from the radiator then goes through the heat exchanger to the block.

This is the second largest heat exchanger that C&R make and is the 18 plate version. For more info look here.. http://crracing.com/custom_built/external_heat.shtml

Cost me just under $600 USD. Will accept swaps for parts to suit an R34 GTR or $300 cash + delivery.

Contact: Ian 

Ph: 0434 147 478

Item is located in Cairns, will freight anywhere...

It weighs about 8KG despite being aluminium, the heat exchanger core is copper.

Reason for selling:

Change of plans.... I was using some custom watercooled heads on my twin turbo VW race engine that allowed me to then use this water/air heat exchanger for oil cooling. The limited space in the car for radiators made this heat exchanger a very convenient method of oil cooling as all the radiators are used for cooling coolant only. Ive now switched back to air cooled heads, so the entire cooling system has been revised.

Its best to run the cooler on the pressure side and preferably with an in-line oil thermostat so your oil temps warm up faster and dont get overly cool on the track. I suppose you could run it on the scavenge side as well, though your oil temps where they enter the block would always be lower than your thermostat would be rated at due to plumbing length and heat radiated from the tank.

You never run a cooler on the suction side. At the most you run a strainer on the pickup or scavenge stages to protect the pump from debris in the event of a blow up.

Oil in and out fittings are a generic metric thread, I cant remember what exactly though. I had -16 fittings in it, but they are in my peterson dry sump tank now. All the sizes for dry sump systems seem to be pretty universal, the threads are the same on everything. You can buy adapter fittings at pirtek that fit with -8, -10 or -12 if you want to run smaller.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
