fine, i'll call and ask gil tomorrow, sheesh!

 

oh, and who are these "several people" who went back to a stock ECU without putting in another ECU?

 

Top of my head I can think of is Garage Probably, RAAMAUdio as well i know they are a few more totally forgot the names make another thread

 

Drax, people on here are trying to help you out, you need to listen to what they have to say. You are spending $ that doesnt need to be spent. I know what's wrong with your car, but ill save it for another time. See you at some autocrosses

 

i'm just messing around with sapan justin, calm down. if you know what is wrong, (and please dont' be all like "the guys at AAM are idiots who don't know how to tune a car") then please share, i'm all ears.

 

i typed that post without seeing Sap's post. Hopefully things work out.

 

So whats the info justin ?!?!

 

it ocurred to me today that my turbo is both water and oil cooled, so i could also run an oil cooler to help bring my temps down...but that'll probably wait until spring.

 

just an idea for ya

man, every little bit counts! sheesh! i might need a bigger inlets to get more air flow thru! lol, get a body kit with huge grill inlets! lol.

those are some good ones, i was looking at the greddy ones that are like 300-440 dollars depending on which one.

 

I got to warn you that when its cold out (30-50f) it takes longer for the oil to warm up to normal temps and will run high oil pressure till it warms up.

 

right, but if i get the one with a built in thermostat, it won't cool the oil down until the oil warms up right?

 

depends on where its mounted for the most part and how long you let it idle befor you drive...

 

i think i'd have to use the one you used there since i might run into space restriction with the ones that have built in fans.

 

well the ones with built in fans you could mount anyplace since its getting its own air...doesnt have to be mounted in front.

 

hmmm...interesting, but the question is where would you mount it? inside the engine compartment might be too hot, under the car might get damaged...hmmm...any ideas?

 

if space permits you could maybe go to the left of the intercooler or the right of it....personaly i would mount it under the car...there is a few spots that you could do it and keep it tucked away from damage but it will take some fab skill to make some brackets to work.

 

I think a good space would be under the front fenders but you have to get some air diversion for it.. or you can cut the crash bar and put the oil cooler in the middle that way it wont restrict too much air flow to the rad

 

good point ace...you could put it in the fender pretty much...its got its own fans so shouldnt be that big a deal...be kinda nice to have an aftermarket fender with vents though.

 

you could fab some air ducts going to the fender or some air vents on the bottom.. i just dont feel like having a fan on an oil cooler, more wiring and more stuff to maintain and watch for failure
