very ncie...

 

Thanks man. I was very impressed with the quality of this kit, from the core itself to the prebuilt stainless lines. Top notch for sure.

 

Great install guide! It looks as if it was fairly easy to adapt to an alternate location. We designed this kit to work with the OEM intercooler as well as our Mishimoto intercooler kits. Our intercoolers retain the stock crash bar and all Mishimoto products will function together.

Unfortunately we have yet to test this kit with other aftermarket front mount intercooler kits so we cannot confirm or deny fitment at this time. It is very likely that this oil cooler kit will function with those intercoolers that retain the OEM crash bar.

Great pics and great guide!

i'll be getting this soon.

do you have the thermostat sandwich plate? and if yes what does it open at?

This kit does not currently have a thermostatic option. That being said we are investigating this as an additional kit.

I don't believe the current mishimoto one is regulated like that.

Hmmm... what I would wonder about this is whether my oil temp would reach the 180 degrees necessary to allow the ECU to unleash the turbo. While I do get the benefits of cooler oil with regard to breakdown, I'm not sure that for DD purposes that this would be a benefit. This would be nicer if there was a temperature sensing bypass valve that stayed closed until the engine is stabilized above 180 degrees fahrenheit and opened when the oil temps started climbing higher.

 

Do you have a 2013 or the 2010-2012? The 2010-2012 do not require the high oil temps for full boost like the 2013's to my understanding.

 

I have an '11... and I don't get full boost until after the engine has stabilized above 180. Above 160 but below 180 I can generate about 10 PSI of boost... full boost for me on a Stage II peaks at 20. Getting oil temperatures to 180 is not generally a problem (down to about 20 degrees fahrenheit ambient); however, in colder temps it rarely goes above 190, even after a few hard runs. In the summer, I can see where an oil cooler can be the most benefit as ambient temps around here go above 100.

 

I think it has a 160F oil t-stat in the kit. Not sure of the actual temp rating but they did say it is thermostatically controlled in the intro thread.

If you can't get the oil up to 180F then you don't need a cooler.

 

Torque on my tablet.

 

Oh ok. Not sure, I never had issues hitting full boost even in the winter here.

 

I haven't either... without a cooler... I was interested in knowing whether or not it would become a problem if you significantly decreased the oil temp in the winter.

 

Even if you did you can always cover it in the winter and uncover in the summer. Kind of like truckers do with their radiators.

 

I've used OD2 scanner, our ECU transmits oil temp in a hyundai specific code, at least PLX device, scanxl the software, can't read it.

Coolant, yes, and i've tested it, it is 160* collant, it goes from limpmode to full boost like a on-off switch

 

True... used to use a cut pizza box on my radiator on my Mustang when I lived in Colorado when temps dropped below 0.

 

On mine the oil temp was not getting over 160F so I covered the cooler. It still runs 160F as that is what the oil t-stat is rated at.

 

I can only see you running above recommened operationg temp I the ho summer, at least locally, my water temp never goes over 180-183, I actually have trouble getting it there with the heat in the cabi on at 100%

o I think it's unlikely I;m running oil hot

 

When I was without a cooler and the ambient temps were near 100F driving on the interstate with the AC on the oil got to about 220F with the OEM radiator. No big deal. Unless you tract of stress the car some other way I doubt if anyone would really need it.

 

Look like sensors on the in and out of the IC for temp comparison. Good testing!

 

i like the way they used a car with a huge turbo, if it's who i thin kit is it's a EvoX, and thats hot and larger then most of us will be running

 

^ The piping remains the same between the two kits. The major change is the core size which is much larger than OEM as you can see from the images. We have some great dyno data to provide once this is released.

So to answer your question, yes the piping from our current kit can be used with this new intercooler.

Thanks

 

Beautyyy, great call, thanks

 

resurrection time.

Any idea if this will fit with a CAI? It looks like it is in the same place as the cai filter would be.
