Maybe I should state I live in the us. so it's free shipping for me.

How comes it doesn't fit your rb filter? what kind of filter you have? what if I don't use the relocation kit and only the oil cooler.

Mate I got one, good quality, sept it doesn't fit my rb oil filter! And it was $100usd for shipping

So no.

You mean you can't fit it to the block (major problem!) or your current oil filter doesn't screw on the relocation bit (not a problem just use different filter)???

Well I'm in the US right now (have been for a while) and it's free shipping to me too...

They couldn't -pay- me to use that 'oil cooler kit' on any of my engines!

Especialy when you have such a HUGE selection of quality parts are very good prices localy. If you don't have the money to modify your car properly- DONT!

I would hazard a guess to say 95 percent of the guys on here don't have the coin to buy the best of everything, unlike you right? :P

To the OP, will it work as an oil cooler? Yes.

Will it leak one day? Probably, just like the Serck one I have here.

Should you get it? Get the best oil cooler you can afford if you're pushing the engine hard. If its a daily make sure you also get an oil thermostat, I run a second hand greddy adapter and it works well.

What's with the attitude?

Doing something properly IS NOT buying the 'best of everything'... I don't buy the best of everything, but I do try to do everything properly....

There are HEAPS of people on this forum, including me who come up with some awsome solutions to most tuning challenges. They don't just run out and buy the cheapest shiza possible.

The OP asked if anyone will buy one.... aaand I said HELL NO.

Also, he's in the US.... brand name tuning gear is very cheap and easy to get.... so why cheap out on somthing so important?? If you can't afford the extra 100 bucks for a decent set up then maaaybe you should re-think the tuning budget.... especially if your pushing your engine hard enough to warrant one.

greddy adapter with thermostat- $120

Lines and fittings- pushlock/bronze- $50

2nd hand earls core/cleaned- $40

      spot the stagea

      By AnimalGarage · Posted

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.

      OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
