Where is Maximal Performance?
 

I've been shopping for an oil cooler for this upcoming track season. While mainly considering Jackson Racing units, I did stumble upon the Maximal Performance Oil Cooler. I went to read their thread on the kit, but it, along with all of Maximal's other posts appear to be locked.

Maximal isn't banned, the site is still up, and the product still seems good, but I have to know what's up before strongly considering their product. @vroom4, who appears to be behind Maximal, appears to be similarly inactive.


Are the Maximal threads simply locked because they're no longer paying vendor fees?

That is usually it but if there was another reason nobody that knows for sure will tell you anyway. Looks like they have been blocked since last May and Vroom has not posted since 2016 so you will either have to take your chances and go through their site or stick to the known Jackson Racing unit. I know which way I would go!

They are located near Corning NY. Email them at terry@maximalperformance.com. Great customer service and one hell of a deal on an oil cooler.

I am in no way involved with Maximal. Just a fan.

Thanks - I figured as much, but I haven't been active enough to really make a call. It's still on the table, but if Maximal was banned for X or Y I would have definitely pushed it off.




Thanks - it was some of your posts that actually got me itching for more information. It's a shame that their whole threads are wiped off the face of the planet. I typically read a topic to death before spending any money.

I just contacted him a few weeks ago to replace the lines and cooler due to a barrier jumping out at me at the track. He was very responsive and mentioned a new website at some point. If you have any questions about the kit I would be happy to answer them.

Again, I am not involved with Maximal in anyway or trying to sell anything.

Damn I remember buying a catback for my 3000gt from him like 10 years ago. It was a huge bargain at the time!

I've had their oil cooler for a couple of years, and its simply the best bang for the buck cooler.

MAP has a kit very similar for about the same price.

anyone knows if Maximal Performance is still in business? I am interested in their oil cooler kit

yep, I have reached out, haven't heard back yet, gonna wait for a bit

Did you try terry@maximalperformance.com?

I will try that. thanks!
My main questions are about this oil cooler kit
https://maximalperformance.com/produ...ler-kit-setrab
1. does the hose come pre-cut, and na-fittings pre-assembled?
2. does it include the hardware for mounting, if so, where does it mount to?
3. does it include the thermostat sandwich plate, and what temperature is it?

1. yes, they will make them to whatever length you want.
2. Not really. This is a DIY kit. Mount where you want it. They send you these little pucks and hardware to mount it to the plastic under-tray. But that is not recommended for track use.
3. Yes. it is a Mocal sandwich plate. It a 185 deg unit.
