Your a fool.........

I recently blew my engine up and had the oil cooler plumbed up pre filter. It died a long slow death as I drove it with a bearing knock for several hours.

Bearing material, engine crud, gouged crankshaft etc etc has been pumped into my oil cooler core as it chuged along.

I've now pulled that engine out and being a smart person not reused the cooler on my new engine.

Being a slack arse I sold the oil cooler to you. Being a tight arse you thought you'd flush it and wack it onto your car.

Ask ANY one who has ever cut open a "flushed" oil cooler if it was clean and they will tell you "Not even close"

Now you've spent 10-20k on a built engine and my old crid that you thought was flushed slowly but surely becomes dislodged during high pressure and flow oil traveling through the cooler. Guess where it's headed.....

Maybe into your filter. Maybe the filter will be torn by the bearning material alowing more material to get through the filter......

By by engine because you were too tight to buy a cheap $100 cooler ($3-400 for a quality one)

Smart man used a new oil cooler not a second hand one....

Found this while researching..So you sold him an oil cooler which you knew was fkt and full of crud from your engine failure? If so, piece of sh1t move there. Even if you told him - you knew it was fked as you said above, and you'd happily fk him for a few dollars? dick move.

You could clean out an oil cooler after failure, it just costs a lot more than you'd expect and it's not worth it for anything that you can easily buy new.

    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
