Highway runner....
 

I dont track my FD but I have a touring modle and my mods are below. I am wanting to run 500rwhp. If I am running my stock touring oil cooler is this ok? Also if not can i get by with stock R1 duel oil coolers? Thanks

I wouldn't think dual oil coolers would be nessisary unless you are going to be tracking the car. Would be nice to help keep temps down though.

I know I can't spell.

Edit: Ohh, my dumbass just read the first 3 words of your post.. I don't think you would NEED them. They would be nice though, used r1 coolers arn't too expensive anyway.

plenty of people run the stock oil cooling system with large single turbo setups, mine is a touring, I daily drive mine and i have no problem running the stock radiator cooling system, a fmic, and the stock oil cooling system.

You seem to have some serious power potential there for a single oil cooler.

Now, if you honestly serious about not tracking your car and not driving it under high boost, load and RPM in sustained manner than a single oil cooler will be enough. What I mean in practice that if you simply going to have short bursts of acceleration, followed by cool down cruise that would be fine.

If, however, you are really going to use that power and keep the boost and/or the RPM up high for, say, longer than 2 minute sprints than, you need some serious cooling improvement in oil over the single touring cooler.

Where would be the best place to get a good used set? I checked the forum but didnt see any. Also posted that I WTB. Would like to get them before I break the engine down again to install new turbo kit. Thanks

Do any of you people posting that he doesn't need them even have an oil temp gauge?

You want to know if you need upgraded oil cooling? You install a gauge!

I find it hard to believe that someone spending the money required to hit 500 rwhp would hesitate to spend a little money for better cooling!

The title of this thread reminds me of teh Wangan for some reason.

well he can get those cheap universal gauge that they have for sale at autozone.

it wont hurt to upgrade your coolers..... a nice big rad is a must

what's wangan?

Wangan is a highway in Japan where the big hp guys and top tuners run their cars

oh, got it. excuse me for not being so knowledgable about japanese racing scene.

Its all about the Wangan!! Syutokou C1.

You watch too much Hot Version/Option videos! :tonque:

maybe he play too much need for speed underground for ps2? :rlaugh:

I think I do as well. But apparently you watch too much Initial D right Red Suns? ;)

talking about initial D, when is the new season going to be released on DVD?

is been quite sometime now sinc ethe last time i watch it on pirated vcd. :D

Hah! Touché! :rlaugh: I thought it was a cool screen name at the time before the series and drifting for that matter got really popular. Good times.

better safe than sorry, i'm running dual earls oil coolers on mine

holy fuck a3on7 you have been on for a month and 406 posts!!! tell me its not all lounge... anyway i would upgrade seriously if your going for 500rwhp goodfellafd3s is sellin a nice gotham 19 row setup now... :)

Nice video! Every Wangan run I've seen, after the toll....Everyone just lets it rip!

Hey man I was looking at your mods and it seems you're still on stock ports. I only say this because I also noticed you're running the 500-R turbo. I was told from A-spec that 450 rwhp would be difficult on a conservative tune, much less 500 rwhp. Could you explain how you plan to achieve those numbers. I know it's easily possible with a streetport at say 20 lbs, but doesn't seem reasonable with your current modifications.

BTW- I'm only pointing this out because I myself have a VERY similar setup and was told to expect anywhere around 400ish rwhp on stock ports with say 12-13 psi, which would be safe. Let me know. I'm interested to know if theirs something I'm missing or if you'll be doing something differently.

Thanks.

Oh and forgot to ask, but do you already have this turbo? If so, has it been tuned and dynoed?

erm....i should say thank you??

what's the big deal about the post count?

i don't think they have the post count thingy on the lounge section.

;) If you listen carefully when they reach one of the tolls, as soon as the Skyline passes through you can hear a rotary screaming with an open wastegate. That sound is unmistakable.
