Amjad Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 As above, I'm looking at a mocal item. I have a sandwich plate for sensors which is tight. Just wanna know if a mocal thermostatic plate will fit without getting rid of PAS? ThanksAmjad Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WallaceGlanza Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 You'll still need to grind a bit of the pas pump bracket to fit it. But more to the point it doesn't work well, the plate still allows a small amount of oil to flow at all times and over-cools the oil due to this. I had the cooler fully taped over and the oil still wouldn't get up to temperature without a bit of boost to help. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 Oh I didn't realise that was the case! I was under the assumption that they begin to open at 70c?I've seen the in line mocal ones too, but it doesn't state that they stay shut until 80c, so I'm not really sure what to do!

Jamie1st Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Ive never had an issue with me Grex/HKS unit. But mines for track use, so getting the oil upto temp has never been an issue lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 Therein lies my problem, when I'm just pootling around town I am a bit of a grandad lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WallaceGlanza Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Inline thermostat is the way to go, unfortunately I didn't know that when I bought mine! I think the inline must still flow a small amount at all times so you don't get a big pressure drop when it does open the first time, or get a load of cold oil into the engine but it seems to work better. I think you can get higher rated thermostats too, standard is 80c which I have. Also don't get a huge cooler core, 10 row would easily be sufficient on our cars with the small amount of oil they have. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My mocal plate works just fine.Comes to temp in just 5-8klm daily commute.I have a celica gt4 cooler.Is that with 4efte? If so is there enough room for a thermo plate if I already have a plate for sensors that fits ok? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

littlegreenmonster Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I've been looking at the kits with just like a 7 row cooler because my oil got really hot the other night when I was playing with a mate and only played for about 2 miles before I backed off lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
