Hey there, just thought I'd put in a vid for you to all enjoy.....See below

Also, I want to get my skyline happy at track days and was looking at puting an oil cooler in. I know there are HKS etc but they are rather expensive, due to the name perhaps???

Anyway, I know you can get Serck coolers which a lot of racecars use or the aluminium Permacool 'Rocket' coolers and they both have a good rep and they are half the price of the japanese coolers. My question is do any of you have experience with these coolers and know what sort of size I need.

The Serck I looked at was a 19 or 25 row with 12 guage fittings.

My car has mild mods but will be drivern HARD so I don't want it to get hot and go bang. Power is 200kw at rears and over 800nm torque. Runs low 12's in street trim but set up for circuit, hence big torque, mild power.

Any help, thoughts would be greatly appreciated

James

I think location is more important then size. Sure fit as big a cooler as you can squeeze in there, but a 19 row oil cooler is as big as i could fit in the front guard of my car whilst still having reasonable air flow.

You can have a cooler for $250, $120-150 for fittings and then $100 for lines and you are in business. If you want a remote filter then that adds another 4 fittings plus more line so count on it costing another $250-300.

Try Star Performance in Five Dock NSW. I have found them to offer the best pricing on good quality gear like Serck coolers and Speedflow fittings.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
