GReat video ! Could you give us some details of the cooler, size, thermostatic adapter (what temperature does it open ?) hose diameter and length ? Thanks for posting, very interesting and really useful item on this car even if not tracked. Just rushing around in mountain roads the oil temperature rises quite high... Would have loved to see how you dropped the front bumper, like a step by step video ?
Thanks! Cooler is a SETRAB 9 Series ProLine Engine Oil Cooler, 10 Row with M22 Ports. AN-10 connectors and lines. All custom fit since it is a mix of stuff. GReddy Thermostatic sandwich plate opens around 70-80 Celsius. Lines are under 5' each. If you slow down the video you can see how I removed the bumper hopefully.
@@razzjp Thanks so much for the details of the oil cooler system. Looks great. Let us know the difference you have in relative temperatures when sending it on track next time. Thanks again !
Great job! I was thinking about doing just this and was just unsure about the thermostat housing. How does it bleed after install? And would you make an effort to drain it regularly or not? Any chance of cavitation when opening the valve at temperature? I was at the track yesterday and managed to get the coolant temp to rise. I was giving it all I could for 15 minutes straight in 40 degree heat with the AC on so it was definitely acceptable for it to start climbing. Nothing dangerous and came straight back down with only a minor slow down so I think a small oil cooler is definitely all the car needs. Thanks for the inspiration!
Thanks and appreciate you watching. I just pre filled the cooler. Once the thermostat opens any air should push out through the pan. Think of when you put a oil filter on they are empty. Oil pressure was good. I probably won't make the effort to drain it. I change the oil pretty regularly, but could pull the hoses on the filter block and blow the oil out with compressed air if I wanted to. Agree that the GR takes the heat well, so a small cooler was perfect and fits nice
you always make great videos
compliments
Thank you! I appreciate it.

@@micsub No problem, winter here now so probably not gonna see too much track time till spring

how much difference on the oil temps do you have with the oil cooler ?
Good question, I do not remember now. It definitely lowered it some though
