Of course, I just changed my oil last week, so it looks like this will have to wait another 3,000 miles or so. Oil Temp sensor for hookup to my PSI3 is also on it's way.

 

you'd let $25 worth of oil and filter get in the way of installing that?

 

hahahaa
nice egan!

 

NIce, man

 

No.

 

is the alleged oil change your excuse to be under the car getting greasy?

 

Please don't ghey up my thread RussB.

 

sorry sir

 

Nice kit! If you don't mind me asking how much was it? I don't see a thermostat does it come with one?

No real need for a thermostat due to the existing water to oil heat exchanger above the filter. That's what gets the oil up to temps. This cooler will just help keep temps down. A big plus is that it adds another 800ml of oil capacity to the car.

The kit comes from Australia (god and kingofimports have been selling them) and they retail for $450. That's pretty good considering the Spec C oil cooler was $900 and the STi one is like $1,500. I could have probably pieced something together for less than $450, but this one is specific to the WRX/STi and has all the necessary brackets and instructions - it even comes with extension wiring for the stock horns. I'm really impressed with the quality of the kit.

Here's where it goes:



It's FMIC friendly too.

 

Now, where am I going to put the Supertones???

 

That is indeed a nice kit for the price mate, looks really well thought out. Extra capacity on the oil side is always a plus.

I disagree on the lack of need for a thermostat though as it's paramount to not cool the oil until peak temp efficiency is reached and based on my temp tests during normal driving you would be always cooling already somewhat cool oil without one.

I forgot to mention, that kit looks factory alongside the Hyperflow FMIC, I mean it even looks like the core was made by Hyperflow as well.

Very nice looking piece.

If you have to sell the supertones, ... let me know

 

Nevar!
