Yorba Linda, California (April 21st, 2014) – The championship-winning performance experts at Jackson Racing are proud to announce their new Engine Oil Cooler Kit for the Scion FR-S & Subaru BRZ is now available from $697.45USD.

An engine oil cooler is a must have for any track or hot climate vehicle. The FA20 engine in the FR-S/BRZ is a finely tuned high compression engine and engine oil temperatures can spike to dangerous levels even on stock cars.

The Jackson Racing Engine Oil Cooler Kit was developed in-house and designed to bring optimal oil cooling to the FA20 engine. The included engine oil cooler core has been put to the test on the street and track on the Jackson Racing FR-S test mule for thousands of miles, in the cold and the heat. The Jackson Racing Engine Oil Cooler Kit not only had to hold up to day to day driving, but also 100ºF track use by championship-winning racing drivers. We are proud to say this system works flawlessly, keeping oil temperatures below 240ºF on track, thus maintaining engine performance throughout on-track sessions.

The Jackson Racing Engine Oil Cooler Kit utilizes the same quality engineered mounting system developed for the Jackson Racing supercharger system and uses solid factory-mounting locations, with no drilling/cutting needed. The front mount cooler system locates the engine oil cooler front and center in the bumper area, drawing outside air directly over the core.

Key Points:
• Keep oil temperatures below 240ºF in the most extreme conditions
• Thermostatic Oil Adapter allows for proper engine oil warm up when cold
• Helps maintain engine performance
• Heavily street and track tested to ensure reliability

FAQ

Q: Is this compatible with my Jackson Racing supercharged FR-S/BRZ?
A: This Engine Oil Cooler Kit is specifically designed for use with a Naturally Aspirated FR-S/BRZ. If you are looking to install an oil cooler for your Jackson Racing supercharged FR-S/BRZ, we recommend using our JRSC version of the Jackson Racing Engine Oil Cooler Kit.

Q: Do I need to add more engine oil with the oil cooler kit?
A: Yes, an additional quart of engine oil is required when installing the Jackson Racing Engine Oil Cooler Kit.

So difference of (this NA) made Oil Cooler kit versus JR FI Oil cooler kit is what, mainly just the bracketing? As for if a customer bought this, then went to their SC kit what all would they expect to buy/change? It's fantastic they are having this option indeed! :clap:

I can see others that have (XYZ) Turbo or SC also being interested in this product as there are not exactly many thermostatic controlled well made OC kits out there oddly enough, so this question could be expanded to (what would it take to adopt to XYZ kit etc?...)

That is cool. So if someone has a Vortech, or say a FBM kit etc,,,, they would need to then specify the FI version is all to get the longer lines etc by sounds of things?

JR I can say is impressive with bringing out options that is for sure.

The FI version would be for use with the Jackson Racing Supercharger kit. Other FI kits would need to verify fitment before ordering. If their FMIC's dont occupy the same space, then the NA version would be the better solution (it places the oil cooler more centered for maximum cooling). The challenge is that most FI kits don't consider space for an oil-air cooler, so a custom solution is needed, or an oil-water heat exchanger.

Not knowing really anything about oil coolers this looks like a great product. The two questions that come to mind are 1) does the oil still flow normally through the oil filter without any dead spots, in other words maintaining full filtration? and 2) is the oil pressure in the block maintained at the same level as before? Thanks in advance!

To me, having the FMIC in front of the oil cooler makes sense; if you damage the oil cooler with a rock, it can be catastrophic. If you damage a FMIC, you get a boost leak which doesn't cause major issues.

I've seen it happen on track.

Rock hits oil cooler. Oil cooler springs leak. Oil comes out quick at 50-80 psi. Leaves oil trail on track, car loses oil pressure, engine oil starves, spins a bearing. Oil trail on track gets other cars dirty, and sometimes a bunch of cars flying off if its at a turn.

You want to always have something guarding your oil cooler, whether its a grill, or mesh, or honeycomb.

On the JR N/A oil cooler, what's guarding the oil cooler?

Just your front grill.

The one with the slats in it that a rock could conceivably go through?

@CSG Mike I was looking at the Mishimoto tstat oil cooler would there be a problem using that cooler with the JR SC kit? Would you recommend the JR cooler over the mishimoto?

Compare the sizes of the cooler cores and/or the BTU ratings. I'd recommend spending the extra cash for the JR cooler, but having the Mishimoto is far better than having nothing.

Can you explain please. The Jackson cooler is 15 row, the Mishimoto cooler is 19 row. Would 19 rows be bigger and cool as good or better?

Has anyone experience minor seepage from the AN fittings coming out of the mocal sandwich plate? Just noticed yesterday at the track, used a dental mirror and saw some oil residue at the bottom of each, a tiny bit at the washer to plate seal and a tiny bit at the male to female AN. @CSG Mike have you noticed this with any of your installs?

The AN fittings should not be leaking. Did you tighten the fittings that go into the Mocal sandwich plate? They do not come pre-tightened, so each fitting needs to be tightened twice, once on each side of the fitting.

Thanks for your response mike - tightened both sides up during the install. It's never enough oil to form a drop or stream of oil but it clearly is seeping a tiny, tiny bit. Probably comes out more at the track. Will give JR a call to see what they say.

I have seen *one* instance where the Mocal sandwich plate had a factory defect, and I've seen hundreds of Mocals. It's unlikely, but never say never.

The Setrab core used by the Jacking Racing kit is both thicker, and wider. The net volume is approximately 50% higher. The fin density is also significantly higher.

This is, assuming, Mishimoto hasn't changed their design.

You should check the fittings on your Mishimoto from time to time.

Hey guys so this thread has been inactive since october of last year so sorry for the necro but I had a couple questions. I recently bought and installed the kit and it's great! but i've been having some leaking issues recently. Im pretty sure it's the o-ring on the sandwich plate which has gone bad due to the amount of times I've taken it on and off to try to diagnose my small leaks :/ So I was curious if one of you guys could supply me with the specifications on the o-ring so I could order the proper replacement? Also how in the hell did you guys tighten the sandwich bolt correctly? I cant for the life of me find a socket that fits between the tstat and the head of the bolt. Thanks in advance. -Grant

Hi, cannot decide between Perrin and JR OC.
Is it really worth $70?
TIA.

has anyone noticed any damage to the stock airbox due to the little clearance of the AN fittings? I have probably about 4mm of clearance from the fitting and my stock airbox. I might put some reflective tape on the airbox but I am still monitoring it after every drive to see if it rubs or anything like that.
