Would love to see your fitment of the lines on top with the stock air box. I have the same kit and I can't get the lines in a position that doesn't block the oil fill cap
Or just change your oil a little more regularly, also the amount held in the cooler will get mixed into the fresh you put in. I have a dual radiator/oil cooler which holds half a quart. Half a quart of 4000ish mile oil mixed with fresh is not going to hurt anything
If you were really concerned about it, buy an extra quart. Drain something like a half a quart, top it off accordingly and let it run for a minute then do a proper oil change. Although oil cooler or not you'll never get 100% of the old oil out
Why did you choose this specific oil cooler? I'm looking into a mishimoto oil cooler. And how is oil changes gonna be like after a install of a oil cooler gonna be?
Quick question…I have an Injen Evolution air intake system installed on my 2016 Scion FR-S. Would installing an oil cooler interfere with the intake? I do NOT feature taking the intake out just to put this thing in, and I didn’t want to keep the stock intake any more.
I wish I knew about the flat cranking trick when I put on my cooler. I looked it up and found it but had already put on the cooler and didn't want to try at and have it not work and redline my engine dead cold with an empty cooler. Tried it later and was like, "oh fuck it does work."
The way I understand it, it is for usage case. I have the dual radiator/cooler and for a stock powered car that's more than plenty. Three 20min sessions at VIR in 97 degree ambient tempeture and my coolant temp stabilized around 220 and oil at 250. The standalone coolers as I understand it will outperform the dual on boosted applications. The dual cooler is more of a heat exchanger, it runs the oil lines around the coolant lines in the radiator to exchange the heat into the coolant, then uses the larger cooling capacity of the radiator to handle the extra heat being put into the coolant. Perfectly fine for a stock motor, on a 40 degree day I saw oil temps around 260-265 before I shut it down also at VIR before I had the dual cooler, so the dual cooler most certainly works. It just may not have the capacity for boosted applications.
You're going to have to hit something pretty significant. It is basically mounted in front of the ac condenser and radiator and sits level with the header and oil pan so if you hit something that's going to damage it, you'll have damage to a lot of things.
A good way to remember Left and Right side of the car is to imagine yourself sitting in the car. So for Left Hand Drive the left side of the car is the driver side and the right side is passenger
99.9999% of 86 track cars have air to oil oilcooler. My car with hood vent hits 270f oil temp at the end of the session in 60f weather. With 19row cooler my temp barely touches 240f in 100+f weather.
You can check out the graph shown on the product page that compares the stock temps vs temps with the oil cooler installed. I'll also be keeping an eye on the temps during the next track day and will let everyone know how it does.
Why in the world does Perrin have the cooler mounted to the plastic splash shield, which is held in place with plastic hangers, and finally with plastic push-tabs?!?! Asinine.
@@iLuveKatsup Dude, if your hitting that at the track you probably shouldnt be going to the track. Besides, by your response, I highly doubt you've tracked anything to know wtf you're actually talking about...
@@FTspeed I tried. The hoses battle against the air box and oil cap for space. I have to see this video again. I don’t recall seeing it fully installed with airbox attached. Seemed like it was skipped.
Looks easy.
I personally would have filled the cooler through the hoses at the filter just before doing them up.
Good work Kevin on doing these install videos!
Definitely wanna add one interns of reliability and it seems like a simple enough job
You guys should do the bump steer kit install from whiteline
Thanks for the suggestion, I'll put it on my list!
what does it do?
@@charleyssss corrects the suspension geometry for lowered cars
@@ShivamKumar-uw4wj oh thanks.
Man you guys have great timing, I installed one of these A WEEK AGO and it was a pain
Did you drain your oil at all?
how's the mounting points for the oil cooler itself? Is it really secure?
I've used various oil coolers, but HKS is the best.

Send me over a message on my IG: thekevinvo and I'll send a picture of how I have it lined up.
That looks like an easy install
I have a question, how do you probably flush the oil from the oil cooler? 🙂
As far as I know, you'll need to have some sort of a pump. That's a complexity you'll have to live with.

dont buy mishimoto, id go with the perrin one or JDL auto design one.

How does a stand alone cooler compare to the coolant radiator/oil cooler unit?

It just may not have the capacity for boosted applications.
I'm sure it's fine but I'd personally try to fabricate a metal bracket the cooler can be held on. That and maybe a drain plug for it.
So if something moderately hits the plastic panel where the oil cooler is mounted, I have a risk of losing all the oil in a matter of seconds?

When giving instructions I would prefer drivers or passengers side for reference. Maybe just me.
well some people drive on the other side?
kamakaze2007 point well taken, I apologize for my insensitivity for forgetting that. 👍

Can you prove us in tecnicaly by using this oil cooler can reduce the oil temperature?
Can make this kit without parent spacer for reduce the space?

It's actually held on with bolts as well and sits securely behind the bumper. It's not going anywhere.
@@FTspeed The core is bolted to the lower plastic splash shield. One off at the track can easily rip that splash shield and the core with it.

@@mrfinder18 You are right. I am wrong. Congrats!
Stock air box won’t work with this.
It was installed with the stock inbox just fine as shown in the video.

@@FTspeed ...nope not shown in video fully assembled. I’ll figure it out another day. Thanks anyway.
Would like to know how this was assemble with stock air box too. There wasn’t enough room
@@thehdchan I think the 90 degree elbows need to be clocked in a way that it clears the airbox. Haven’t tried yet.
mounted into plastic? no thanks
It's not going anywhere.
Ur dam header got me a ticket for modified exhaust
Well do you have a modified exhaust?
Kevin Vo other than the header, my borla axle-back was dealership installed as a performance package
@@justanotherbluebelt2691 so you have a modified exhaust
Kevin Vo thanks captain obvious. The point is the parts are advertised as being street legal
Kevin Vo and no it’s not modified if it’s sold by the dealership
