Jackson Racing engine oil cooler for NA applications

[zoth]

Is there I way to seal the AN fitting fittings with so type tread sealer or something? I'm having issues with my fittings as well, very minimal but noticeable.

@zoth my understanding is that it's not recommended. Are you running Mocal setup as well?

This is, assuming, Mishimoto hasn't changed their design.

Thanks for the explanation Mike.

I do.

Hey guys so this thread has been inactive since october of last year so sorry for the necro but I had a couple questions. I recently bought and installed the kit and it's great! but i've been having some leaking issues recently. Im pretty sure it's the o-ring on the sandwich plate which has gone bad due to the amount of times I've taken it on and off to try to diagnose my small leaks :/ So I was curious if one of you guys could supply me with the specifications on the o-ring so I could order the proper replacement? Also how in the hell did you guys tighten the sandwich bolt correctly? I cant for the life of me find a socket that fits between the tstat and the head of the bolt. Thanks in advance. -Grant

Contact tech at jackson racing dot com for replacement rings for the sandwich plate and adaptor.

Carefully use a 12 point 27mm socket for the adapter.

Hi, cannot decide between Perrin and JR OC.
Is it really worth $70?
TIA.

For a MUCH larger oil cooler? Absolutely. Too much won't hurt you (thermostatic plate prevents overcooling), but if you're looking for an oil cooler because you drive hard, then too little can hurt you.

has anyone noticed any damage to the stock airbox due to the little clearance of the AN fittings? I have probably about 4mm of clearance from the fitting and my stock airbox. I might put some reflective tape on the airbox but I am still monitoring it after every drive to see if it rubs or anything like that.

IMO it's worth it. I know a lot of guys can piece together their own kit for much cheaper. But I just wanted a tested product imcould just bolt on and hit the track. So that's the price I decided is worth it to pay.

Mine doesn't rub on actual driving but the air box is a bitch to remove to replace the air filter and got scratched a lot doing that. I imagine I will have to replace that part of the air box at some point in the future. Or duct tape over whatever hole will eventually develop.

For me I saw my lines were rubbing on the frame in one spot and the washer bottle. Zip tie the lines together tightly to increase clearance. That stopped my rubbing on the frame but it still touches the washer bottle neck.

CSG Mike: but is MUCH larger oil cooler needed? Imho it's not that bad if smaller is sufficient for worst case you can throw it at .. everything above that is redundant and extra deadweight, no?

I have TRD CIA. Is it going to interfere with oil filter adapter?
TIA.

my lines are also sitting right next to the washer neck and on top of the frame. is it that big of a concern for rubbing? I would assume that as long as the lines are not tightly pressed in a space, there should be no concern for chaffing and damaging the lines. I might get in there later and just put some foam on any metal contacts that the lines hit.

If you're driving hard enough? Yes.

It's less than 3lbs extra. That's less than half a gallon of gas. Unless you're so worried about weight that you only run a quarter tank of fuel or less at all times, this weight won't matter.
