Let us know with pics how the install goes.

I'm up for an oil cooler but don't want to spend a fortune. ;)

With the catch can. Have you opened it up and shoved stainless steel wool in it? An open empty catch can doesn't do much.

haha i actually posted a link to a thread that would help you with the install of the catch can.. looks like Ash deleted it hahaha ..

do a search, i found it so can you..

;)

oh wells. I CBF'd going to the mod section to find it either.

with 50 rubbish posts... a "bulk" delete was easiest.

apologies.

i reckon going cheap on an oil cooler is a huuugee risk, and china branded stuff isnt always top quality as u might know, and imagine poping an end tank off the oil cooler or blowing a line off, and your engine = f*kt

id rather no oil cooler than one that could be made by some dodgy chinaman who earns 2c a week, somehow i dont think they give 2 shits about quality control :D

each to their own, and no i havent seen them fail personally but ive been warned by plenty of people to stay well away from china oil cooler setups.

cheers

there is alot of hear say, mainly from people who sell main stream expensive aussie made stuff!! but hell i tell you what, australian workers dont care much for quality control either!

but yeh back to my point plazmaman racing dood who cruises around in wetherill park was trying to sell a friend a 700hp kit for his car for 1700!! while warning him off cheap front mounts frm just jap because they melt! FTW my fmic is gonna melt!, btw looking at the oil cooler it's very well made check on out yourself they usually sell for $350 but give cheaper to sau members

hahaha fair enough, i took your normal position and said search lol ... i know its there but i aint gonna spend the time to find it again unless i get really bored haha

This just goes to show why you shouldnt repeat things you know nothing about. Do you know that the hybrid style coolers ie those from Just Jap and other companies have been running for years on cars with more than 400kw at the wheels? and guess what, they didnt melt!

If, and I say if there is any truth to your claims about what Plazmaman has been saying, their comments are completely unfounded and are nothing by trash talk to up their own sales :laugh:

I think I would be more sh*t scared it was the T-1000........

THE TERMINATOR!

It happened to me just the other day, i stopped at lights, saw steaming from the front of the car, and my intercooler was dripping its molten alloy onto the highway and seconds later I had a cop dressed in black at my window asking me where he could find John Connor.

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
