Just a thought...check for leaks while you have the snout off, not after you've buttoned her back up. Looks like a very nice setup. Does it have a thermostat or is it wide open?
Hello Dick. This kit is available in both thermostatic and non-thermostatic varients. If you'd like any additional information, just check out the product page. www.mishimoto.com/subaru-brz-scion-fr-s-oil-cooler-kit-13.html
Hi Guyz, After installing the oil cooler, in 3 month when I will change my oil, how can we remove the oil inside the cooler ? is there a screw ? where it is ? Thanks Koj
+Dieygo A. There is not one. I have been searching the net. I want an oil cooler. Leaving a quart of dirty oil in the car every time I change the oil is not an option.
simply take off the the hoses and blow through one side lol. but yeah good question! I would imagine it would just drain most of it and if there is some left it gets filtered.
+Chris Schenk Lower oil temps instead of hovering at around 240 with hard driving it gets closer to 200. Above 230 the engine will start to cut timing and you'll lose power. I'm second guessing mishimotos kit however I've heard of very bad quality issues on our cars www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=45538
Hello BRZ RN. My apologies, but I'm not entirely sure what holes you are referencing. Additionally, the outlet could be either side of the oil cooler in this instance.
***** Oil cooling is not a component that is specific to forced induction. Lower oil temperatures will promote improved lubrication and reduced engine wear on any type of internal combustion engine. We have found this upgrade to be very useful for those tracking their vehicle, driving aggressively, or for those in a warm climate. The Mishimoto oil cooler reduces and regulates oil temperatures in any of these conditions. Feel free to let me know if you have further questions. :)
+fatboy19831 Do you have the mishimoto? I found an awesome price from someone on the forums but have heard some horror stories about mishimoto products
851995STARGATE Price and weight. No they would not put one on at the factory. The take rate would be to small to even have it as an option. In normal driving not a problem. On a hot day in stop and go driving heat is a problem with the twins stock. It is funny to me when I see guys adding a turbo or SC without upgrading the cooling system. Oil and coolant. Everything on the twins has been designed to cut weight and cost.
