mikey4410 Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 Okies an update. Oil cooler fitted up and total cost was just over £20 Even though its a small oil cooler its cooling the oil to much.i expected this would be the case WATER TEMP STAYED AROUND 83° and OIL TEMP 58°. These temps are after 15mins of driving Oil is way to low and it should be optimally around 82°←→92° so I am now gradually blocking of the cooler in stages with easily removable tape till I get to around 75°. That then allows for anything over the "granny driving" which i do 90 % of the time Pictures will be up soon !!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've always debated doing it but didn't know how it would go on a Glanza/Starlet. If they're cooling way to much im guessing just sick to what ive got an not go down that path.

mikey4410 Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 Well I have done it as I plan to do brands soon and would rather have the provisions there fro additional oil cooling.heat levels go up alot on track and it will be needed then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mikey4410 Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 Obviously I have yet to spray paint the oil cooler brackets green to match, and I keep checking for leaks etc as I am new to oil coolers and better to be safe than sorry but all is well after checking just now. Also got it running at 70° on the nose with standard driving. Vey happy and cost naff all to fit this bit of kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maddox710 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Good job Mikey I myself have weighed up lots of oil cooler as I work at a motorfactor And get get to look at Alot of data on these Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Nicely done there! I can see one pipe is off the turbo, where's the other one going to? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 The other feed goes to the oil feed with the 19mm bolt fitment under the oil filter housing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Xpect Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 (edited) Is the oil cooler brand new?For that kind of money I don't expect it's new but would be awesome. Edited January 3, 2014 by Xpect Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 As good as really.was 9/10 condition. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Xpect Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 (edited) Well it really looked like new, that's why I asked.After seeing that small cooler I thought of ways to blend it to not cool to much and have a way to move that blending without stopping the car. Maybe like air vents, stripes of alu that can be fully closed and partially opened via electromotors. But I don't have the full electrics in my head yet. I'd be doing it like a volume button in the inside of the car but really I don't know yet how to wire it up so it really only opens partial.That is just my idea for maximum usability. And space wise in the engine bay it would be bigger only in width by the size of a motor and in depth by the depth of the stripes.

mikey4410 Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 Yea I have had a similar thought but for a minute or so of tape application or removal it can be sorted Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Xpect Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Well, to be honest, I love little gadgets. Like for example I want my fuel tank to open with a stroke of a finger via a capacitive sensor. But that may take some time till I get there Had that idea out of an australian car forum. Also I have some basic ideas how to build a double-DIN radio, well basically a car PC with a big touchscreen and a little 2x20 charakter display and some physocal knobs. I like that sort of stuf. Oh and for cleanliness I thought of running a flexible antenna inside my spoiler and weld the original hole shut. You see, many lottle detaols in my head that are nearly invisible and hard to do. But make quite unique changes. Like the Supra boot puller mod, which for a change is really easy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mikey4410 Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 i am pretty sure i need to put more tension on wastegate as its not adjusted correctly. going to also adjust fueling to get it to 11.5 in second instead of 11.0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted March 21, 2014 Author Share Posted March 21, 2014 (edited) UPDATE !!!!!! so this morning bright and early at 7am i fitted my new exedy clutch that i have had for months !!! was a pain in the ass to do but i saved £160 for somebody to do it for me which is well worth the saving made a clutch alignment tool and the clutch housing went on first time without issue.new clutch below also i did another big job i have been meaning to do since xmas but we havent had the weather for it..............UNDERSEALING THE CAR WITH WAXOYL. a shitty job but cost just £15 to do whole bottom of car and arches.very happy and peace of mind its not going to ever rust and go horrid under there also i have removed the ct9 manifold and converter and now have a proper td04 toyosport mild steel mani which i fitted last week. has helped alot as the runners are bigger but its flowing more and now altered me a/f ratio. luckily i always ran it rich so its not been a problem and i noticed it quickly . need to know what fuel pressure to set it to now though.was at 2.0 bar and i was getting a/f of 11 i am guessing i need to go to nearl 2.5 ish fuel pressure to allow for extra flow etc Edited March 21, 2014 by mikey4410 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
