I know it not all about aesthetics but I cant help but notice some of the coating missing on my SC manifold. Did anyone else have this?

Ill have to see what I can do to cover it up....

285F on a trackday without the SC. I am fitting a setrab 619 with custom lines same time as the sc.

Have you measure intake temsp with this setup?

Going by the Edlebrock thread it seems putting an oil cooler infront of the intercooler radiator seem to have a fairly large effect on IATs.

I'm going to mount mine to the left behind the fog light.

I saw a video of you on youtube at Datona. Something sounded odd when you pulled off at the end?

I don't measure my temps, but my oil cooler is mounted dead center (as perrin's instructions), so maybe I'll move it over. hmm

Give me a month and i'll have my cooler mounted and i'll be able to show test results.

Im doing it DIY and have a special order mocal sandwich plate with a 99C (210F) thermostat to avoid over cooling the oil.

If anyone is interested, I have a build thread on the UK forums:

but i'll update this thread with anything worth while to you guys

Here are my oil cooler location pictures. I removed the washer reservoir and made a bracket to attach to the crash beam and an air scoop for it https://picasaweb.google.com/1054515...November242015

I read your thread over. I'm surprised Cosworth is on there, but not on this site. Anyway, nice build! What other suspension modifications are you going to get? I saw the coilovers, but what about sway bars?
Also, why didn't you go with the full exhaust?

Hi Mate,

Dont worry the Cosworth Engineers keep an eye on these forums as well

The GT86Owners club had a meet and tour of the cosworth facility a few yeas back. Was very cool.

Matt also gave some details of their endurance testing on this thread:
http://www.gt86ownersclub.co.uk/foru...972_page2.html

Regarding suspention mods, first coilovers and rear sub frame inserts. Then we'll see how it feels. Personally I'm not a huge fan of big roll bars as they make the wheels less independant. Too firm a roll bar and you'll get wheel hop over big bumps when the wheel hitting the bump is effectively lifting the other side a little bit. They work well on smooth surfaces though.

I didnt go full exhaust becuase I want to spend the £2k on the coilovers instead. The cat back will get me 10-12hp so ~270HP. I am sure once the stock manifold is nackered (I dont expect it to last forever with the SC fitted and doing track days) I will fit the Cossy one.


Jerry - I cant see the pic either but I understand what you mean. What size is the misimoto cooler?

[ajc209]

Yeap can see those now Jerry. Nice work. I want to retain the water reservoir so will be mounting on the other side. Then the issue is the intercooler pipes getting in the way. I may need use ducting pipe but much prefer what you've done there.

Very nice oil cooler set-up and ducting. Like AJC, I wanted to mount my oil cooler on that location but wanted to keep the washer fluid bottle. I was looking into getting smaller like the ptuning kit to clear a little bit more room.

No oil cooler on mine. The highest I have seen was 245°F oil temps when it was 85° outside following a faster car; measured via torque pro. Coolant bounces between 170° and 195°. 8K miles daily stage 2.3.
