[wgnths]

one of my near future mods i think......

[pickinicholas]

I need to get one of those, or a Cobb one...

[LaidbackRacr]

I think we can all use one...Good mod to have (so I hear) but what are the actual advantages of this?

[moxie]

Cooler oil is less likely to breakdown and lose viscosity.

Also, since the oil also functions to cool many of the moving parts in the motor you can see a nice overall temperature drop and a reduction in detonation.


It's a good idea for us here in the desert, but also for us here in the desert who drive our cars like we own them...

Amen Brother....No pansies here.

[wgnths]

i saw a great decal the other day......instead of "drive it like you stole it", it was "drive it like its a rental" :lol:

[LaidbackRacr]

If I did that it wouldn't last more than a few k miles.

BTW I saw the funniest thing on one of my Z forums felt like it applies here.

A guy on the board rented a Cavalier, and then cut the springs on it and beat the hell out of it (on camera) Brings the rental back in slammmed and they didn't even notice :)

[EllinikoSkuby]

When I get my EGT guage Im looking forward to seeing my EGT's and if they are as high as I think I will be buying one of those.

[wgnths]

yeah i still need to hook up my egt and temp gauges....i want to do a before and after test with the water wetter too, once i hook them up.

Richard from Dyno Comp is installing that kit on my STi on Thursday along with a 6.5" SPAL fan behind it. Hopefully that helps with my blazing hot oil temps.

[wgnths]

oh sweet, well let us know how it works out...i may do it sooner than i thought! and welcome :wink:

[kev]

Will that bump the oil capacity up by a qt or so? That would be nice.

[AZ2004STi]

According to Rich, it should bump up the oil capacity by about a quart. So yes that will be good, as it will take more time and energy to heat up a greater capacity. They are also deleting the oil heater feature. I think thats to blame as the hot oil inturn just heats up the coolant.

And thank you for the welcome!

[wgnths]

stupid me i forgot the fact that it would allow more oil! i really should do it, although your car puts out just a little more than mine. :lol: oh, lets see some pics of your setup too!

[AZ2004STi]

If anyone would like to host pics I can send them your way??? The oil cooler kit goes in on Thursday so I will try and get to Dyno Comp and snap some pics of that kit while the bumper is off. You should still be able to see it good with the bumper on, you just have to pull the driver side fog cover.

As far as my setup goes, mods are:
APS SR55, APS 3.5" Catted TBE, APS CAI, APS TGV Deletes, APS BOV, APS DR725 FMIC, AVO Silicone Turbo Inlet, Nismo 740cc Injectors, Walbro High Pressure Fuel Pump, HKS FCD, Split Paralell Stock Fuel Lines, Samco Silicone Radiator Hoses, Fluidyne Radiator, Crucial Racing 160 F T-stat, Exedy Twin Disc Clutch and Lightened Flywheel, Clutch Slave Mod, Goodrich SS Brake Lines, Carbotech Pads, Cusco 4 point Sub-frame Connector, STi Strut Tower Brace, STi Hardened Mounts(Engine, Tranny & Pitch Stop), STi Short Throw Shifter, Kartboy Shifter Bushing, Omori STi Gauges(Boost, EGT & Oil Temp), Apex-I AVC-R EBC, EcuTek and Delta Dash Software.

Tuned on 100 Octane @ 23PSI made 402.7AWHP and 360AWTQ
Made 330AWHP on 15PSI still at 100 octane

With stock VF39, APS 3.5" TBE, APS CAI & AVC-R the STi ran a 12.7 @ 106MPH on Falken Azenis Sports. Have yet to run the new setup at the track.

[Bphilly]

:shock: Not to shabby

[LaidbackRacr]

You guys motivated me...Im buying Stillen Oil Cooler now, extra 1/2 quart.

[wgnths]

yeah pretty good setup to start with i guess :lol: i can tell rich did all the work, by the amount of aps products you have :P i've slowly switched to aps as well, changing to their cai, bov and tmic. i really want that exhaust!
i can host pics if you want to send them, or create a free account on photobucket.com which is what i use. :)

[AZ2004STi]

I love the quality and fitment of all the APS products. I actually forgot to add in the APS BOV, but after your comment I edited it. Well if you give me your email, I'll go snap some pics!

[LaidbackRacr]

[wgnths]

awesome, hard to tell but did you do the black aps fmic?? love it.

[pickinicholas]

I love the race gas behind the car.

[AZ2004STi]

Yes it is the black APS core. I like the stealth look it gives! And yes NO ONE lights a match in the wife and I's garage. That barrell you guys see is the wife's c-16 for her stang, and the one behind it is my Sunoco GT Plus 109 unleaded.

[LaidbackRacr]

I love race gas it is so neat
Race gas should be sold like meat
race gas is the best and can't be beat
Im gonna take off now so take a seat

Sorry felt that race gas deserved a song...and since I am so very tallented

[wgnths]

taLented, you mean. :P your the one with the the nasty sti and the wife with the really mean stang, on the forums! i predict a long, happy marriage. :D lets see some pics of da pony!

[AZ2004STi]

Well since I'm not a computer wiz on uploading pics. Here is the results from AZ Quickest Street Car Challenge. She took 2nd place in the top category of Ultimate Street.

http://realstreetcars.com/Jan05race/results.htm

That was on DOT tires and only 10#'s of boost! Her best ET to date is a 10.2 and her best trap is 138mph.

Now she is going for mid to high 8's with a GT4294R turbo! No more Paxton S/C trying to keep belts on. The passenger seat is going bye bye and a air to water intercooler is taking its place. Should be done and ready to rock come this fall!

[pickinicholas]

That is SO kickass! I need to find me a girl with as much love for driving and racing as I have...

[LaidbackRacr]

Haha, that isn't going to happen but thanks for the offer. ;)

[LaidbackRacr]

the first part or the second part? Because if its the first part Im hurt :cry:

[pickinicholas]

No, the second part, not the first part.

[wgnths]

god exists because he came to me and said i was destined to win powerball!! :) and im sorry to hear that nick..i can certainly offer some advice, as i've been married and divorced once already. :lol:

[LaidbackRacr]

Married and Divorced +1...it was worst thing I ever went through.

I lost all my money, my dignity, and my best friend (was my wife)

Noo good at all. Its will be ok Nick, we love you man!

[wgnths]

i was happy to get a divorce :?

i'd hook you up nick, but all the girls i know are dirty little whores that have to have anal intercourse on a daily basis.

[LaidbackRacr]

I don't believe in god and love anal whores...hook it up

[Max Power]

i'd hook you up nick, but all the girls i know are dirty little whores that have to have anal intercourse on a daily basis.

I understand you moral reservations about hooking Nick up with them, but me??? :twisted:

Oh, and just to stay on topic, I love oil coolers!

[wgnths]

Oh and im waiting to hear how the oil cooler install goes!! and that stang is kickass. let us know when its at the track again, i'd like to see it in person. :)

[pickinicholas]

You could still hook me up and then I'll let someone else finish them off. ;)

[AZ2004STi]

STi goes in to Rich tomorrow at 9am to get fitted with the oil cooler. And will do on the notification of the wife's stang back at the track. Should be soon!

[wgnths]

excellent! let us know how the temps look.

[AZ2004STi]

Definitely a worthy mod!!!! The oil temps run stock like, as long as I'm not running my a/c. I think the combination needs better radiator fans now to finish off the setup right. Though once I turn the a/c off the temps come down alot quicker, both oil and coolant, once they have become hot. Where as before they wouldnt come down at all hardly. So I give the mod a definite thumbs up, though it is costly!!!

[wgnths]

where is it mounted? i think we're(surge i should say) gonna piece together a nice setup to mount behind the passenger fog light.

[AZ2004STi]

Its mounted behind the driver's side fog. Then it has air dams to direct the flow of air to the core.

[wgnths]

ooh sounds like we need some pics :)

[EVIL 8]

Definately post some pics...Not like I can ever afford the setup right now, but I still would like to see...
