Oil Cooler Kits

[Reese69]

hi guys/girls

i know the oil cooler has been covered,

its colder down here in canberra so the cooler is not realy useful day to day, but i am hopeing to have some fun on the track and drifting days,

question is, is it worth while istalling for those days then taking it off till the next one? (maybe more so in summer)

dose anyone else do this, is it worth the effort?

just after opinions/ experiences...

i've seen people use a cover for winter.

Is this because on cold days the engine won't get to operating temp with an oil cooler?

Just use a thermostat, win either way, either an inline one or one built into the sandwich plate.

GReddy GREX make a nice sandwich plate. 34 geeetetetetetetettttttteeeeeepeeee and myself use the same one.

na not really, more just to keep temps down/ cooler when flogging it..

specially summer..

but i been told they can cause more issues on a day to day drive..

so i thinking just fiiting it for the day/weekend keep oil cooler and engine safe while flogging it..

then removing it for driving round town,,

is there a way to install it so its fitted all the time but can switch it on for track day? (dont think that it made sense lol) i dont know the set up well enough to know if possible

No, he is talking about a plate/adapter similar to the thermostat of you radiator.

They should be like $75 -150 depending where you get it from

I just purchased the Greddy Thermostatic sandwich plate that you are talking about from Greddy Australia website for $140 but it was the last one in stock in Australia and they said it may be a month or more till they restock it.

That's cheap for such a good product, I run a Grex one and have had no issues with it in 4 years. (I bought it S/H)

I have a brand new one here if anyone wants it, I was keeping it just in case, but this one has been very reliable.

hey you said I could have that....

[scotty nm35]

Come and get it then.
