please. all that eeepc is gonna see is korean porn, we all know that.

oh yeah, plane only has 1 p in it. :)

After getting my tax return, I am either thinking of saving it for my trip to Japan next year, or to put it towards a 52mm Alloy Radiator and a Oil Cooler and Relocation Kit. What would people suggest I do? If I go with the "Upgrades" I am thinking an ISC 52mm Radiator, but not too sure on a good Oil Cooler & Relocation Kit, don't want to spend much more then $350 on the Oil Kit.

but not too sure on a good Oil Cooler & Relocation Kit, don't want to spend much more then $350 on the Oil Kit.

abe, youll spend close to half that on a decent oil cooler core by itself. mine was $180 (discounted cause i bought fittings, lines and blocks at the same time) from memory. and oil cooler kits arent something youd wanna cheap out on anyways.

My tax return is going towards a TIG welder. :domokun:

My oil cooler ended up costing around the $500 but the time i bought all the fittings and hose. The cooler was only $130 and the remote brackets i made on the CNC, so that gives you and indication.

On Flea-Bay, you can get kits for about the $350 mark, how good they are, I am not sure, but I am willing to spend a bit more if I am going to gain something out of it, either being Performance, Reliability, or Quality.

yeah, ive seen those ebay kits. and ive seen them being used... and the leaks that followed. dollars doing alright, get luke to track down a grex kit or something.

These 2 things are very important, dont skimp just to save a few dollars. Speak to Todd at Outlaw in the city, he will sort you out with a very good quality kit like this one.

well the 90deg joiners are $50 each, hose is $20 a metre, straight joins are $25 each, core i got from justjap for $120ish, then the plates are around $60 each.

i had a cheap one, snapped fittings and was just shit..

so i paid 300 for the cheap one then another 400-500 for the outlaw one..

DO IT RIGHT DO IT ONCE

ive got a couple 90's, a couple 45's, a couple 45 barbs, and a bunch of straight barbs, and i dont recall paying $50 for any of those by themselves.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
