We start off with a Billet machines spacer with bulletted port to help maintain oil pressure unlike the cheap adapters currently available. We then give you the option for either thermostatic or non thermostatic sandwich adapters. Lines are sup

Owner consistent power delivery as well as protecting your engines exposure to the harsh conditions associated with high oil temps and breakdown because of it.

you know there's a button for that, right? i'm sure it's easier to just complain than to learn how to work your email client...

Yes correct there is a button for that on each email.

Yes it can be sold individually just have to check your current spacers height to make the center fitting is the correct length to go through them both.

I know FA20Club doesn't really use the Vortech supercharger but would you know if this plays nicely with the Vortech intercooler/intake/etc?

[FA20Club.com]

yes, it does. we've installed the Perrin cooler on the Vortech and our Sandwich plate and fittings are identical so it will play nice with the Vortech airbox.

On a system like this, with a non thermostat takeoff plate, could one put a valve on the oil cooler line to stop flow to the oil cooler when it's cold and the oil is not getting up to full temps?

This seems like a good way to ensure the oil gets hot enough on cold days, as long as it doesn't cut off the oil to the engine.

What is the projected pricing on this? and will the sandwhich plate have extra 1/8npt ports on it?

[FA20Club.com]

You can tap the plate or the spacer for an extra port just like any other not a big deal. The kit is post for sale online on the site for $950.00

Even with the non-thermostatic plate, coolant will always be warmer during warmup time and cooler when driven hard than oil. So, what's the point with thermostatic plate?

I just diconnected my oil cooler. Below 40 the oil never got up to temp after 30 minutes.

Been in the high 30's low 40's F here in the mornings sometimes. I have a Scangauge II for displaying Oil temp, Water temp, Fuel level %, and now Voltage (reading for Shorai battery install and keeping eye on stock voltage levels). My FRS is completely warmed up (205+ F oil and 190 F steady water) by the time I get to work in the mornings which varies from 10-15 minutes with traffic. I keep it below 3k rpm until warmed up to 180+ F oil temp with water temp at operating/steady. Car is stock though I am running 5W30 oil (Redline Synthetic currently). Oil temp will shoot up dramatically in a matter of seconds if I get on it...(5k+ rpm acceleration/steady speed/cornering) from 205 to 220+ F extremely quick, have seen temps to 230+ F after having some fun. Once warmed up the car is normally ~205 F for oil and 190 F for water and 220+ F temps are just an application of the throttle away.

With a heat exchanger system the oil will come up to temp faster and stay cooler due to the water coolant coming up to temp faster and then stabilizing at a lower temp to draw heat from the oil. Heat exchangers are the way to go, but the coolant system is the critical part now and needs to be adequate. Stock is not adequate... this type system is much more than adequate, though I'd piece it together myself and use the heat exchanger advantages to get it of the front opening and down low as possible - zero reason to air cool heat exchangers.

Seriously considering this for use with my Kraftwerks kit. You say it'll fit but it looks like the lines coming off the oil filter header will hit the KW mounting plate.

Are you absolutely sure this will clear the plate, belt and pulleys?

Any idea if this will work with a TRD intake?
