any news of fitment with washer bottle?

I know a couple of guys are looking for a solution with the CAI. I couldn't wait any longer so I bought the Ptuning washer bottle, everything fits fine, just working out the best way to route the hose, if they have a bottle with the nozzle on the other end that would be perfect.

Nice! I may look into that.

I was going to hack up a headlight like evasive did over the winter...
This maybe easier.

Your concerned about a washer bottle but removed your ac??? lol

I never used my sprayers... When I took the bottle out and it was at the full line. >.<

Not really, can't remember the last time I used it, but it one of those things they can hassle me on at inspection time.

Ah... I forget about inspection at times. We don't have that sort of thing in Arizona. They simply check your gas cap & use an OBD scan for readiness... lol

Hi

I have serious oil temp problem now that i want to solve asap. I can not track my car right now, and i booked track days for 3 days back to back, today tomorrow and sunday, please help me solve the problem.

I had been running JDL turbo kit (GTX2867R turbo) for about 3 weeks now, had oil temperature problems immediately, never went below 120C, around 125-130 when boosting, so i installed HKS oil cooler (and koyo radiator for peace of mind), took out the fog lights and duct one extra pipe to oil cooler from the front grill near intercooler, i olso titanium wrapped headers, downpipe and overpipe, and olso have a turbo blanket. Now i am seeing around 105-110C when cruising around 120km/h, 100-105 when cruising around 90km/h 6th gear on highway, very quickly climbs up to 115-120C in one minute boosting around 90-180 km/h, 120-125C in city traffic, ambient temperatures are around 20C.

Took the car to track today, i started at 90C oil temp, just like i imagined i did 3 laps (one lap is around 1:25) at 70-80% pace and oil temp was 130C!!! Did 3 cooldown laps and it dropped 120C. Took less than 2 laps to hit 130C and took 3 laps to cool it down to 120C again. It is like a joke, not fun spending 2/3rd of my time doing cooldown laps and can not concentrate because i am constantly checking temps when i do normal a lap.
Did not have any problems with water temps though. Ambient temps are around 22C. I am using Motul 0W40.

I think these numbers are not normal.
What do you think can be wrong, where should i check?

I was worried if there was sth wrong about water cooling, checked water lines to turbo, they go to correct direction according to JDL installation guide, but it has no details at all so can not be sure about T links.

Thanks

How are you measuring oil temp? Are you using the OEM sensor and logging via CANBUS? Or did you install an actual gauge? Also did you add the coolant lines to the turbo?

[ofuts]

I use innovate mtx-d oil pressure/temperature gauge, sensors are at sandwich plate, sandwich plate came with HKS oil cooler kit.
I am planning to connect another temp sensor tomorrow and compare. but i guess they will show same values.

Yes, i connected coolant lines, bottom one goes to left side (facing the engine from front of the car) and top one to the right side at engine connection. Is there any specific t-line order for these pipes?

[ofuts]

First 2 pictures are cold line and second 2 are hot.
So i am guessing that there shouldn't be t-links and lines should connect directly for proper flow but there are 4 holes, 2 holes will be left open if directly connected.
Can someone guide me here please, pictures of correct way would be very helpful.

[ofuts]

Ok, i think it is my innovate mtx-d oil gauge, it is reading too high. Took out its temp sensor and replaced with greddy gauge, compared both simultaneously, innovate was reading 10C higher. Not sure if it the sensor or gauge becouse greddy sensor cable was not compatible with innovate.

[ofuts]

Just came into my mind that one sensor port is closer to the oil line going "to" the oil cooler and other one is closer to the line "from" the oil cooler, can that be the reason i got 10C difference?
(HKS oil cooler comes with a thermostatic sandwich plate)
