Thanks for the review and pics! I have three kits coming in already and hopefully some more soon. The HKS and Greddy kits are in the $1k range and even if they were the same price i would get the Perrin, better tech support and customer service right here in the USA from some great people.

Good to know, now Im very excite.

Show us a better view with the hood closed and front bumper attached.

Is it possible to mount it on the side like the RA brz track edition?

a data logged comparison of with vs without from the factory ECU oil temp sensor would be fantastic... bypassing it for a comparison next time you're at the track I'm sure would be great for 86 community, even though it would be a pain to do!
cheers

So where are the numbers? Can't really have an oil cooler review without any data!

Perrin has this data, though not on a track but on a dyno i think.

I want data from third party sources that certify (or bust) the seller's results. :w00t:

I'll take one please

Never thought I'd see a butt dyno review on an oil cooler. :lol:Are these cars really that sensitive? Sounds almost like a manufacturing defect if you can tell the difference after installing an oil cooler while driving around on the street in the middle of winter.

hah, if you want some real LOLs then you should visit a fitness forum and see the reviews for supplements. Multivitamin? Protein powder? :bellyroll:

I haven't noticed any driving differences with my setup. Oil temps are stupid cold on the street now with my setup. Perrins should do about the same.

This is a horrible "review" if you even want to call it that.

You basically state the reason for buying this kit is if you are too lazy to piece one together yourself and then you didn't even do the install yourself you had someone else do it lol

How can you give a review on something you didn't even install?

How can you use a butt dyno to review an oil cooler? That is absurd!

Why would you install an oil cooler in the winter as there would be no way to test any improvements?

Oil coolers are hugely OVER HYPED on this forum.

If the 2014 FRS/BRZ comes factory with an oil cooler then you will have evidence to the fact of needing an oil cooler. News flash.. there will be no such cooler.

What is the magic number in terms of oil temps you don't want to exceed? 212f? I'm monitoring my oil temps now.
