Robispec Radiator/Oil Cooler combo
 

Cannot recommend this as it started leaking after 8 months

Awesome radiator definitely interested. However, DAT INNOVATE DOE!

Nice to know it handles traffic too.

Thanks for posting, I like that cooling design.

Very nice! The price looks reasonable for what's included too.

sweet was talking to robi last night about this deffinitely looking forward to picking this up in the near future, was the solution i was looking for! Along with that supercharger :thumbsup:

This is for sure one of the best mod for the twins and 99% of the peeps dont realize it and all they care about is CAI, header, exhaust, and ECU tune... So sad

Anyone who's running the Touge Factory brake cooling ducts needs to beware that the hoses probably wont fit around this radiator/cooler. I think it's wider than stock overall and on the driver's side the oil lines/fittings look like they will be right in the way of where the brake cooling hoses go. It's already an extremely tight fit around the stock radiator.

It's a great solution otherwise. I'd just hate to give up my brake cooling. I guess coolant/oil temp control is more important in comparison to brake temps if you're going FI.

Just ordered one of these alongside an Innovate Twin Screw from Robi. I'm amazed how well it hides away. I'm not trying to keep the engine bay looking stock, but it's going to be hard to point out what I've done with the car to the uninitiated. :D

Wonder if it'll fit with a Nameless header...

Oh, and honestly, have you seen a more elegant oil cooler solution? Love it. KISS principle in full effect.

He says the AVO turbo kit will still work, I can't see the Nameless or P&L being any further forward.

Nameless already said their header requires cutting the fan shroud...so :-/

Erf.. Well, I have a little while to make a decision. Everything goes on first before the SC. I may end up wth the P&L header..

I asked before and did not receive and answer so I'll ask again:

Are you absolutely sure it fits the AVO kit? I measured the gap between the top condenser bracket bolt and the AVO IC, and it was less than 9 mm of space. Not trying to argue or anything, but I've already tried with two different radiators and no dice, they don't fit... Would it require reworking the AVO IC location? The main problem with the AVO IC and bigger radiators is the top driver's side condenser bracket bolt.

how hard would it be to move the avo IC? I didn't take any measurements but it looked like everything bolted up easily in the stock location. @robispec would be best to answer this question. Have you tried phone'ing him?

the condensor standoffs are 1.75" long and only need to be .75 to mount the condenser closer to the radiator. I looked at the avo Kit in vegas and also got the impression by the AVO reps there that the solution would fit.
I have not test fit the radiator on a AVO car but there is now if I shorten the condenser stand off brackets more than enough room...almost 2"

Is there a change in distance from the front of the motor to the engine side of the rad? I'm waiting for nameless to release the long tube tri-y headers and they are talking about including and aluminum fan shroud and slim line spal fans so that has me worried about clearance issues if the rad pokes into the engine bay any father than stock..

Other than that concern, i love this solution!

So, do you supply the shorter standoffs, do I need to modify the stock standoffs, what would I need to do?

for you I would modify the standoffs !

Awesome! We'll be talking via PM soon. Now go back to sleep, it's too early for you. :D

i wish this would fit with my turbo kit. it might, but i'd have to buy one to find out :(

Step into it. I've already bought and test fitted two which didn't fit :-D

I will send you a PM too, I ordered the AVO kit (waiting on ETA) and I want this radiator/oil cooler combo.

the lower edge of the radiator is in the same plane as the stock radiator so we could reuse the fans.

I would asume that since the lower radiator fan shroud is is the same location the trimming would be the same.

This cooler is on the short list Robi, I hope to pick it up this summer. Kudos on the solution. @OrbitalEllipses I hope it does fit with the nameless headers, and the headers fit with my vortech kit, I still haven't gotten a straight answer on that.

bump for the best cooling solution around bang for buck and effectiveness

Price goes up July first.

Doh! My birthday isn't till the 5th

650 layaway deposit keeps the pricing

I hope @sw20kosh doesn't mind me adding to his thread.

From the San Francisco bay area, I drove down to Robispec's shop yesterday to get his radiator installed; it was also nice meeting Robi and a couple of other FRS/BRZ owners. While driving south, I was seeing cruising oil temps in the 220s (F) that would peak to 245F when driving uphill. The ambient temps were in the 85-90F range.

On the way home after the install, it was initially a bit warmer (probably 95-100F) and I was seeing cruising oil temps in the 205F range with a peak of 215F while accelerating uphill in fourth gear. As I got closer to home, and the ambient temps were down to the 70s, my oil temps were down to the 195F range.

Coolant temps barely ever moved.

This is a quality product that simply works and I'm very happy that Robi has this option for us; I drove 13-14 hours yesterday for it. :)

Nice meeting you @kster1! Was nice to see all the installations of the cooler yesterday as it deserves to be on every 86 ;)

Great meeting you too @ImperiousRex. Having you guys around make the waiting time go much quicker with our car/track talk.

Nice meeting you as well. I got home around 9:30pm, which still put me home prob 3-4hrs sooner than you!

The quality of his cooler is incredible, and extremely stealth. The only way I can tell that something is different, is the sandwich plate beneath the oil filter. Huge props to Robi (and Junior) for such a great product.

I wish I had the money to hold a deposit. But all my money is going to make my supercharged celica run cooler. I am converting it to use e85 because she cant deal with temps above 85 :)

What about the occasional oil-change?

wouldn't you need to drain the radiator seperately because the oil needs to flow up into the sandwichplate and therfore won't drain through the oil pan?

Really? it doesn't block off the airflow for the radiator?

Haven't forgot about you, AVO kits are coming and this would be a great add on if Sportsguy can get it to fit I would go for it.

Cant wait for the kit and I already spoke with Robi about it (:

what about that?
