Installed the oil cooler to the guy that bought my ITR.

Here´s two pics of my custom setup.

 

Eu gosto de sua instalação do cooler de óleo muito. Trabalho excelente.

looks nice

 

Nice. You can speek very well.
hey, that´s my and my wife bank here in Portugal.

Pinota

 

actually he types very well

 

Cool cooler

 

sweet.

know the new temps/pressure?

 

I don´t have a oil pressure gauge.

About oil temps, before the oil cooler during hard drive 320 ºF, after oil cooler install never went up than 255-260 ºF.

After install i´ve notice only 0.6 quart of oil to be ok. Not bad.

 

Oh man, that is not possible 320 F = 160 C!!!!!!

165 - 185 Farenheit (75-85 C) is good

This is right. 160 ºC during very hard drive, it´s not dificult. With the oil cooler during very hard drive never went up than 120º -125º C

 

oh my god. That is just insane! Is'nt that temp way to high? My gauge shows only 95 Degree C when I drive hard on the Autobahn. Your pistons get cooled with the oil too, is the oil temp realy that high on stock ITRs? What oil do you use? I run 10W60 Castrol RS

160° C is easily possible

 

I have oil temperature gauge too.
With stock exaust on hot summer (30-35 C°) after 10 minutes of high rev driving (constantly over 7500 rpm) oil temperatures raise to 145 C° max .
After switched to Mugen i/h/e ecu tuned with cam gears, in the same wheater and driving conditions, oil temperature is about 125-130 C°.

 

Thats way too high and hurts performance and your engine. I would get an oil cooler ASAP. I never have more than 90 degree C with my tiny oil cooler equipped with thermostat. The size of mine is about the same pinota has. 160 degrees.......is the oil lubricating every thing on that high temps, especialy the guys with 0w30 or something will get no probs?

160 deg. C is too high indeed. You should keep the oil temp. below 140 C to be safe and use Castrol RS 10W-60 at the track.

With an oil cooler it should be able to remain below 120 deg C.

 

10W60 oil is what causes high temperature........

 

uhm well, not in my case. 10w60 here!

 

I know you`re running cool... So I do. But my old engine ran very hot, so I sometimes had a high knock rate...

The thing with 60 oil is a normal physic:
The oilfilm between the parts is more thick... Within this film there are small metal-particles that rub each other ==> That produces energy which leaves as heat. Normal thing. But 60 oil can handle the heat, no problem here.

0W40 can be dangerous in case of beeing burnt very quick.

I did lots of research in these things because I had my old engine running with a lot of problems I tried to solve... Glad to run a strong JDM-OEM stockie again.

10W60+oil cooler gets my vote

 

I prefer Shell Helix Ultra 5W-40. I doesn´t rip off so fast.

Castrol 10W-60 made my ITR burn more oil and run more hot.

 

Pinota runs 40ish oil, same heat than you, so that can not be the only reason.

Also IF 10w60 can handle that heat..........you have lil power loss from that much heat, cause like Pinota mentioned, the ECU will retard timing, cause it gets to hot in the combustion camber since the pistons are not cooled that much from the oil spray. I would say you better install an oil coller ASAP before you hit the track again......

 

no worry...
I run RAN to hot with my old engine...
This one gets a 19row oilcooler when the final mods are done...cage, seats and harness, shorter gears... and finally oilcooler.

 

Mine is a 10 row cooler. The best for 1800-2000 cc. engines.
Remember a scoobye uses a 10 row oil cooler and it´s turbo.

 

authentic? or babelfish?

 

nice

 

how much did that run?
