Taggy Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 I am about to buy this for my starlet, an oil coolerhttp://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110622756451&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT://http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....STRK:MEWAX:ITAnyone used them, are they any good and also will it fit straight on my car, i have read some people are saying i will need to grind the powersteering pump to make it fit, is this true?

Dan507 Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 That is correct. you NEED a oil sandwitch plate to connect the cooler to the block also (which is the bit witch you have to grind down for). I wouldn't bother with that one. you really need a oil cooler kit with a thermostat really. these ones dont work properly. Quote
Taggy Posted June 1, 2011 Author Posted June 1, 2011 Yeah i seen a thermostat from Demon tweeks for about £30That is correct. you NEED a oil sandwitch plate to connect the cooler to the block also (which is the bit witch you have to grind down for).

Sparky Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 With the kit I got off here it needed no grinding down, fitted perfect. That kit would be fine but you would need the thermo and a few extra fittings. Quote

I need to fit mine one of these weekends - its been in my room for almost 2years lol Quote
ollie ryan Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 addz why do you need an oil cooler?you doing track days? Quote
Johnboy GT Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 Is an oil cooler recommended if your thinking on doing track days?What setup is the best to go for, as i reckon im gonna go trackdays when mine is on the road? Quote
Taggy Posted June 2, 2011 Author Posted June 2, 2011 Yeah i would be careful with any turbo car on track without one, the turbo can cook you rad system is no time and then lead to overheating of your oil and then some kind of bearing failure.Happened to me last year so im not going on without one this timeIs an oil cooler recommended if your thinking on doing track days?What setup is the best to go for, as i reckon im gonna go trackdays when mine is on the road?
