So unfortunately I did not have an oil pressure gauge before the install so I cannot say. I imagine any pressure drop would only be a few psi, especially since the thermostatic model bypasses the cooler until the oil warms up quite a bit
I also installed MISHIMOTO oil cooler in my STI, my engine is EJ207 version 10, oil grade 5W40, before installing the oil cooler, the oil pressure at idle is 4Bar when the oil temperature is 90°, after installing it, the oil pressure is reduced to 2Bar. 10,000 kilometres have been driven, and the engine is in good condition. MISHIMOTO's oil cooler can effectively control the oil temperature. But it can't avoid the loss of oil pressure.
It finally blew up! It held that power level for 2 years and I would launch it, flat shift, and give it hell 100% of the time. I had a set of Moore performance blast plates on it which claim to hold the case together better and keep the trans intact, but I knew it was going to go eventually. I have a 6 speed on the way so I won't need to worry about it anymore.
Thankfully no it has never leaked. I did double check that all of the pre-assembled hose ends and fittings were tight before running it. I'll keep an eye on everything though, I didn't know they had issues with that
Looks nice! Did you notice any changes in oil pressure?

What version csf radiator is put on?
It's their 2 row design, without the integrated oil cooler
Your car has a stock 5 speed on your 500hp wrx how?

@@nickquatrini thank bro I Like 400 only without blowing my trans I don't lunch my car I daily it. Thank you for telling about the Moore blast plate.
did the oil cooler ever leak i know mishimoto has leaking problems

Thanks bro, but yeah I know their radiators have the leak problems
