Oil cooler and relocation kit plumbing question...

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.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
