Can anyone please tell me how tight to torque the sandwich plate down? I followed the video and the guy says "you don't need to tighten the sandwich plate down that much cuz it has an o ring." Well let me tell you folks, I don't know what happened but I bolted everything up, started the car, looked down to turn the heater on (to burp the coolant system), looked back up only to see a fucking FOUNTAIN of oil. 😭
So that was fun. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

The mishi sandwich plate requires 30lbs of torque if I recall right. Also I'd recommend an additional ring of Toyota pan/gasket sealer its 15$ at the dealer. I know this isn't the mishimoto kit like I have but its the same concept with the sandwich plate.

Did your oil cooler have this on it?
Did your plate have this nub on it? Did you remove it or leave it on?

Any additional thoughts on the routing explained in the video in the original post? This seems like a very elegant solution to an oil cooler.
Also, it seems that the kit linked below isn't too bad of a deal. Priced separately, the oil cooler is 150, the extended bolt is 30, hoses maybe 10 bucks, clamps say another 10, shipping say 10 bucks... that adds up to approximately 210. The kit is 225 with an oil filter. Not sure what ned charges for shipping. http://www.nedautoparts.com/collecti...oem-subaru-brz If no one seems to have any reservations for this system, I think I may pull the trigger from ned. I really like the idea of quicker oil warmups as well as I have a short commute. I do have one issue... is the difference in diameter between some of the nipples as mentioned in the comments above and in the reviews on the ned site. I suppose some different size tube and a reducer could do the trick. Thanks! |

That's the reasoning behind why I will be doing it. My DD is only 8-10 minutes and in the winter it barely gets warm enough if I don't let it warmup at an idle before setting off to work.

I just installed this system this afternoon. It was purchased from NED. While it's not difficult, it's not the 10 minute video installation that you see on youtube either. Here are my observations from the installation: 1. As noted above, there are different diameter nipple sizes but one size hose used. The curved outlet from the oil cooler is clearly bigger than any other nipple but with a little lubricant on the nipple, the hose will slide over it. The problem is that the supplied hose clamps will not fit over this bigger nipple. They are barely big enough to fit over the other nipples but there is no way they work on this nipple. Fortunately, I had spares at home that would fit 2. Both hoses are run underneath the A/C compressor but I have a concern that the heat from the compressor and/or the engine on the other side will eventually damage the cooling hoses. There is not room underneath the compressor for these hoses to route without touching metal. Maybe they will be all right but I'm not sure. 3. The nipples on the throttle body are smaller than either nipple on the oil cooler and are loose when you slide the supplied hoses onto them. I was still able to tighten them down with the worm roller clamps and it appears I have no leaks so far. Otherwise, the installation was straightforward and as per the videos. I hope it helps keep the temps down on warm track days. |

Does anybody know with this install if the throttle body gets the coolant first, or does the oil cooler gets the coolant first (and then the the throttle body gets hot coolant ands it heats up the intake air) ? Thanks |
