quality fittings and hoses.

you can use a cheap core if you want... as long as the fitting and hoses are A1

personally i'd just go for a non thermo one on a predominantly track car, makes oil changes easier and you wont be driving it round cold like a daily

ok so oil cooler kits, what should I be looking for?

what should I be avoiding?

bout time I started modding the car again..

Pretty much what Hamish said

I had a chat to Trent about it a few weeks ago and he said just becareful of shitty designed cooler cores. As he was using a core than ran 10c hotter than the one he has now.

It saying that Trent runs a el cheapo $80 one lol. This is the one that works

I have your cooler hoses, fittings and that Greddy thermostat adapter here Tony, when are you going to buy that super oil cooler core you are raving about? :P

Track days coming.... ;)

I thought you were sourcing my Cooler core lol

How long you need the car for?

I was thinking about entering Calder.....but a bit low on funds and time atm :(

Toby, take your car to calder drags I wanna see the beast in action!

Are you taking your car there?

Can't say I've ever been keen to go to a drag day

Maybe if SAU VIC organises one this year ill go

Wasn't planning on it, but if you go down I'll come watch / maybe enter cos its cheap as chips anyway.

Will be throwing a twin 3" cat back exhaust on my car soon :D dat v8 burble brah

SAU had one at heathcote 2 years ago haven't had once since I think :( it was forum battle or something, won fastest ford trophy :D

yeah drags are pretty fun, trying to squeeze that extra .1sec out always a challenge and the adrenaline pumps hard when you're racing or about to launch

really cheap compared to track days, and no need for racing licenses which is a bonus

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
