Tuning Secondary Oil cooler

[eclipse1]

HI all,

can I check if any member here on the Tjet 150 have installed a secondary oil cooler?

This involved the sandwich plate, braided hoses and also an oil cooler radiator.

have anyone managed to find a suitable Sandwich plate that is plug and play instead of customising?

TIA

1. Why do you want one?
2. Protoxide has a few versions, no idea if they are thermostatic, and they will need work done to get them to work-new hoses for turbo oil supply, also some work with the cooling hoses going to the current oil cooler will need deleting...etc

hi

I drive in ambient temperature around 34-38 degres C, year round.

Heat is the killer for oil and i do wish to keep engine oil temp lower a little with the aid of oil cooler.
I already meshed out the whole front of the car and is looking to custom a bonnet to allow for airflow toward the exhaust/turbo area to cool the area more.

the 1st 25K km of my bravo ownership over the last 9 months have been average, FC is running average 11.5-12.5KM/L on the 16" and on 18" I'm getting 10.5-11 KM/L

Car's been tuned lightly, with GSR intake and a larger Intercooler. Boost peak at just 1.5 Bar.
I may get another tune once I decide how i want the car to do.

But I'm looking at heat reduction. a new larger radiator is in the planning but not many fits off-the-shelf at the moment, and custom radiator is going to be very costly.

A bigger oil pan will help with oil degradation. More oil less stress on it.
TCM had some for sale at some pint for the t-jet.
It was basically this product.

For the aftermarket oil cooler, the stock one will need removing and all the hoses and oil lines, that connect to it, redone.
