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 guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
