I just recently learned a friend of mine (and my family) recently lost his life. He was driving the Ford Torino at 27:28 in this video. Colton, you were always a good dude and you will be missed. May you rest in piece.
also DIYed a STM kit, nice to see i wasnt the only person who experienced some heart burn 😂; from my stock MR oil temp gauges the 70273 cooler was 5-10c warmer than the stock from my (anecdotal) experience.. just food for thought; thanks for all the content that has helped me in my own 06 evo 9 endeavors.. Cheers Paul! 🍻
Thanks for the info. It would be cool to know the temp difference between 3-4 different oilcooler options and also with no cooler. I assume the OEM oil temp gauge is not the most accurate, but I do believe the OEM cooler could have did a better job than this B&M cooler.
@@BoostedFilms I did eventually swap out the B&M 70273 with the 70266 (after my factory shortblock let go after 185k) the 70266 is the same width and thickness as the 70273 but 4 inches taller and 20k BTUs vs 15k BTUs IIRC- so an option if youre looking for upgraded cooling without having to swap the feed/return lines you already put together.. unfortunately OEM oil temp sensor got deleted with a new oil pan so no word on if and how much cooler it runs.. thanks for all the vids Paul; im a huge fan and it has been a great help&inspiration to me! also my factory cooler was sitting around 90c and the smaller b&m was closer to 95c-100c freeway driving on the factory oil temp gauge so might have been in spec- not 100% on what the upper working temp is.. FYI
@@BoostedFilms yeah, on the website it had instructions. Also, there’s another video on TH-cam. Consider that kit for a street car, it’s pretty big and hugs the frame pretty well
I believe the nut your talking about needs to be slipped on before you tighen all the nuts up. I had the same issue with the MAP o2 dump (not the eliminator version). You slide the nut in holding the o2 housing about 3-5mm away from the exhaust housing and tighten it up before the other nuts. Hopefully that helps
I mounted my oil cooler, same set up, with the fittings towards the inside/frame rail side, no leaks and shortest hose. Could not figure out how the supplied POS bracket was supposed to work.
That last nut/stud location was a nightmare for me when I installed mine. I had to remove the ac compressor and bracket to get back there to even get a wrench on the bolt. Ended up sanding a nut down to a 7mm head size and impacting that bitch on lmao
Yea i never re-installed my A/C stuff, so that made the whole downpipe job easier. But yea, a smaller nut... never really thought of that as a solution.
@@gueroangeles7511 They give you gaskets with the pipe if you order it. FYI. But here is the gasket. stmtuned.com/collections/mitsubishi-evolution-7-8-9-turbo-install/products/stm-evo-8-9-stainless-steel-divided-turbo-outlet-gasket

when I bought my evo 8, 6 years ago, it had fender liners and an under shield. now my bumper cover comes off as easy as yours
Yeah the STM Kit was a bit concerning for me. I bought the MAP one, it came with pre cut hoses :)
Have you installed it? Did it come with any type of directions?

Makes sense, Thanks. Sounds like something easier to do with the evo in a hoist and someone else there to help out.
I’d take a flap disk abrasive pad on a grinder to the rear wheel arches. Then I’d body fill it and paint. Nothing too fancy
It would be interesting to log oil temp before and after oil cooler install
What happened to the oil light what was the problem amigo my evo 8 is doing the same thing

What did you put on the fittings that connect to the oil cooler?

What size hose are the oil cooler lines? With that cooler is it and orb style one? The cooler I got is orb style so the fittings have an o ring.
its -8AN hose for the oil cooler lines.
Gasket maker for oil line seals in a turbo system all day. Thread tape is not made for oil
did u use a gasket for the new downpipe?
Yes
@@BoostedFilms can u send me the link to the gaskets please
