JackyBoi Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 Thinking about treating the old gal to the following: GReddy 16 row oil cooler GReddy boost gauge TRD rad cap Some LED tail lights (not 100% sure yet but they do look gorgeous) And a Shine Auto Project carbon rear diffuser (finally) These bits will probably be going on in a few weeks, just waiting for Wednesday to order them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackyBoi Posted April 11, 2015 Author Share Posted April 11, 2015 Just placed an order for the following http://www.workwheelsusa.com/media/gallery/10/1031_full.jpg http://frsbrzperformance.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/scion-frs-v8-swap-todokori-work-emotion-d9r.jpg I've ordered them in 19x10.5 et30 for the rear and 19x9.5 et38 for the front in GT Silver with a diamond polished lip. It was a really tough decision between 18" and 19" but settled on 19's because they will make the car look a bit more modern. Hoping to run a 255 tyre on the front and a 295 on the rear - thinking about the Michelin Pilot Super Sports; I'm wanting a tyre that works great in both wet and dry conditions given the typical British weather! Will update once they're fitted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 You sure they clear UK brakes? Dish looks to big if they are the same as the picture. I've always preferred to run without a oil cooler and keep my oil pressure at its highest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I run a 19 row oil cooler. The only issue I have is that when outside temps are not that high (below 10°C when going to work in the morning), my oil temp goes quickly below 70°C when cruising. - - - Updated - - - I run a 19 row oil cooler.

j_jza80 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I wouldn't bother with an oil cooler unless you're doing lots of track driving. Agreed Even then, I would want the cooler to be thermostatically controlled. Plus, ideally you would want to change the viscosity of the oil you're using if running a cooler. Not worth the extra aggro on a road car IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTurtleshead Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Stock oil cooler is pretty crap. With the extra load I'd run a decent -10 cooler. I have a 19row mocal cooler with a mocal thermostatic sandwhich plate. My oil pressures are as per stock, minimal loss. Personally i'd run one, especially with twins and the extra heat they load the oil and water systems with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two turbos create a lot more heat than one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackyBoi Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 I went on a little spending spree items include the following Momo Mod 07 steering wheel 350mm black leather TRD oil cap Whifbitz billet radiator brackets Whifbitz 19 row oil cooler (GReddy ones are more than double the price for a 16 row, so thought what's the point?!) Aluminium rad pipe And yes oh yes a Shine Auto carbon diffuser purchased off kirky_123 Will update as soon as I start getting round to fitting them. The car should be out the garage in a couple of days I'm also still on the hunt for larger exhaust housings for my HKS kit with no luck, tried HKS Japan, Thailand, Europe and USA but none can help me!

Jellybean Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Just on oil Coolers, Oil breakdown and excessive oxidation will take place above 130 degrees oil temp, generally hp is lost over 115 degrees, under hard driving an oil cooler is only recommended if the oil is regularly in excess of 120 degrees Too cold oil is just a detrimental to an engine , wear and tear plus loss in power ; dropping oil temps down to 85 degrees will cost at least 1% hp Unless you need one, you are causing yourself unnecessary trouble fitting one, if your temps are around 110-120 degress under normal driving conditions , you can still run at WOT for a few miles before temps become an issue If you still want to fit one (With the help of Chris W) , it is best practice to to have the fittings at the top , and run an oil filter that has an anti drain back valve. Reason remote mounted oil filters can be a bad idea, if you retain the stock oil filter position just off the side of the block, it will be in the best position for the anti drive back valve to keep the cooler and lines full of oil during long engine off periods. Then when you start the engine the pump doesn't have to refill all the lines and cooler before the engine bearings see oil pressure. Makes a HUGE difference to cold start wear and tear, and is just "good practice". Oil filter maker's sites will show if a particular filter has an anti drain back valve, or with a bit of experience you can look down the threaded mounting hole and see in many cases. https://tpoparts.com/images/OilFilterCompare_4.png The outer shell or housing The spring, which seats the filter against the mounting plate The filter core itself The anti-drainback valve (this keeps oil inside the engine when the motorcycle is parked) The mounting plate The box https://tpoparts.com/articles/oilfiltercompare.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drive my Audi as my daily so to be honest the only times I'm driving my Supra is under fairly hard driving. If I notice it cooling the oil too much I'll just remove it and sell it on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackyBoi Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 Had this arrive today thanks to Jurgen Should be getting the car back tomorrow so can start actually driving it again! So stoked also getting my Audi remapped tomorrow by MobileRemaps which should be a bit of fun!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackyBoi Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 Pretty fed up to be saying this but there is yet again another problem with the Supra, this time it won't start. Everything mechanical on the car is now absolutely sound (injectors provide fuel, spark plugs provide spark, adequate fuel pressure, correct timing etc) so the only possible explanation is to do with the ECU, which means dragging the car back to Whifbitz in London to hopefully get it fixed once and for all. I've had the car back from the big twin conversion for 40 days now; only 5 of those days has the car been parked on my drive I think I'm getting genuine withdrawal symptoms..... On another note a quick and simple remap on my Audi got it from 128bhp to 174bhp and 310nm to 403nm in a matter of 15 minutes... Well chuffed! still no where near as satisfying as a Supra though...
