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.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
