1NZFE Oil Cooler

[Parmas]

Hi guys I am interested to include an oil cooler in the setup that had turboecho2005. What do you suggest in regards worth and efficiency with a 250HP engine?

You definitely want an oil cooler with that kind of power... for peace of mind.

Is not a must, but is always recommended to have an oil cooler on a turbo set up. It will be a MUST if you are planning to do any track time on the car.

I'd recommend an oil cooler also. Although not needed it will help if you plan on any long periods of high reving...

Parmas... hows the project coming along?

I found a complete kit for the 1NZFE, http://www.automotiveconcepts.net/store/Toyota-Echo_product_1316311176.html

What do you think about this, worth the money?

*Project is taking longer than expected will update when I have relevant info.

piece it together yourself, it'll be cheaper.. and you don't need a cooler that huge ;)

Oil cooler works great for daily use too

The one Tamago picked should be perfect...

[cali yaris]

mount it behind the right air dam in the lower bumper

Hell you can pick up an oil cooler from Autozone for $25 or so

[cali yaris]

I would buy that B & M for $49.95 over some cheap-o brand any day, especially when my engine's life blood depends on it not failing.

Thanks I am interested in your suggestion ... do you have any images to refer on?

[Tamago]

i'm not sure if you have the same radiator brace as the xA but it's perfect for mounting a cooler:

Thanks for the pics tamago... it is a good position although I am not sure of it because of the intercooler at the front

Here is how it's mounted on my tC.
This size oil cooler supports a 2.4L, 440+ whp motor with no problems.

I think you also don't want your oil to get too cool? Engines do work best at a certain temperature... I believe HKS has an oil cooler kit with a thermostat that will make sure it does not get too cool, or is that just a marketing gimmick? :laugh:

most sandwich adaptors have a thermostat built in, so it's not a marketing gimmick at all :)

Nice info ...what about oil pressure when using an oil cooler?

oil pressure should not change if you have plumbed the cooler properly. a slight drop my occur otherwise..
