ARC Oil Cooler
In development. Interesting design.

That's nice!
|
What am I looking at? Is that coolant too?

Assuming the pic is from an 86, looks like strange placement behind the radiator, also it doesnt have any fins that i can see, the pic confuses me.
|
No good. Thats where the turbo goes:evil:
|
Please explain...
ARC stuff is always pretty, but this isn't making sense! |

LOL that looks like an Air-Water intercooler placed between the engine and the radiator. This car must be turbo'd.
Although I could be wrong as the scale is hard to judge... |
My guess is increased coolant capacity, and oil-to-water fluid cooler is what it looks like. (much like an air to water intercooler, where radiating heat isn't expelled through fins, but through fluid-to-fluid transfer)
|
This sounds... expensive. :D
|
nice, just a gigantic oil to water cooler. So it is like the factory WRX/STi oil coolers, just much larger and prettier :)
Thanks, Rick |
hhmm... water-cooled oil cooler, i wonder why didn't opt for the air-cooled oil cooler setup like the greddy...
my best guess is that this setup results in a much more linear and consistent cooling capability versus the air-cooled setup because that is more dependent on air flow while the car is accelerating |
Water to oil coolers typically do not require a thermostat, keeps it simple. Seems like a pretty clean way to do it. Air to Air is typically more efficient but that looks like a pretty massive core...
|
There was a pretty long thread on this maybe a month ago. Seems nice but my guess is they will charge an arm and a leg for it. I'll just wait for the Perrin air to air cooler.

This thread has a better picture of all of the ARC products for the BRZ.

VERY VERY SEXY!! I WANT
|
looks like just the induction box is for sale in Japan for ¥57540 (JPY) so roughly $728.87 (US). It says the oil cooler and intake tube are still under development
|
Bump. Did this oil cooler ever go to production?
