Hey gents,

 

Wanting to install an oil cooler with a thermostat onto my ol girl (rb25det neo er34), I haven't decided which kit yet out of all the big brands (probably greddy) but I'm currently running a greddy oil filter relocation kit.

 

The set up on the engine side will look like the first pic below, which answered my first question about whether it'll work/ stack up,

 

My second question is: will I need to change the plumbing of the setup to get the oil filtered in the correct sequence?

 

If the oil runs up to the filter and back as it currently does, and i add the sandwich plate, will it allow unfiltered oil into the cooler once the thermostat opens? Or will it work the same as having the oil filter screwed directly onto the sandwich plate?

 

Artistic diagram attached for your viewing pleasure also.

 

Any input or experience would be awesome.

Not sure about your main question re relocation kit but in terms on core placement I'd recommend in the guard under driver side headlight.

Also go the Greddy, I installed a Mocal at a huge cost and can't recommend it, here's some threads:

Appreciate the recommendations and the links brother! Your setup looks sweet. I've got a big ol empty space under the driver side headlight, definitely keen to mount it there!

Just gotta work out if the plumbing in the diagram will be okay and I'll be purchasing and installing as a complete kit.

Cold oil: Oil flows straight through sandwich plate, via hoses to&from the filter.

Hot oil: Sandwich plate thermostat opens.  Unfiltered oil goes out to the cooler and back to the sandwich plate, then on to the filter & back.

Your diagram looks correct.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
