Combating the heat - Page 47 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

My next step to combat the heat and the horrible oil pressure these cars have when they get hot. Trying out some new oil too.

Setrab 25-row oil cooler to upgrade my current 14 row. Non thermostatic sandwich plate will be reused as well. The core will be covered until I'm at the track.

Alright guys, any reason I shouldn't go with an oem coolant base oil cooler setup with my turbo kit? The price difference on the forester kit and the aftermarket ones is much to my liking. With FI my coolant seems steady at 90c/194f which is much lower than the 230 I seem to get lightly driving the car daily for 25-30min. The coolant based oil cooler would also help the turbo warm up in winter which is a plus I guess.

Also taking a bit from the new STi concept. Another way to cut the mustasche... the it would look much worse on the production brz since it isn't beveled as much.

i just installed the seibon DV hood on my car and I'm pleased with how much heat it's letting out. You can literally see the heat radiating out now, and thats barely even pushing the car very hard.

For anyone that doesn't run a vented hood, I would highly recommend it.

I was always against vented hoods for cosmetic reasons, but the DV from seibon keeps the factory lines and the two large horizontal slits are large enough to act like a chimney.

I agree on the vented hood. That definitely was going to be the next step on my BRZ. A properly designed one has added venting and downforce benefits.

Getting mine sometime this month lol. Do these carbon hoods have holes to attach the gas struts or does the oem hood prop need to be used? I know they're all probably different so I was wondering about the Vis AMS hood.
Btw @protpibe your car is sick.

I'm running Grimmspeed struts and they bolted on fine to the Seibon hood. My assumption is that they would all work with one another since hood struts generally bolt directly on to the OEM hood, and aftermarket hoods share the same bolt holes.

And thanks for the compliment

I feel dumb I realized this after posting the question. Looked at some pictures of how mine were installed and they use the same bolt that holds the hood lol. Thanks for the reply.

Amazing build!! How your GrimSpeed hood struts work with the new bonnet? It should be roughly the same weight as the stock one, right?

protpibe · 04-07-2015, 05:56 PM

They work fine. The seibon actually weighs more than the oem hood

That hood looks great!

Just installed my AMS hood.. carbon hoods are not my favorite look but it does well at releasing the heat and its the only one that I know of that has rain guards as it does rain a lot here in Miami

Hood and fender vents installed on @boostedfrs NASA TT FR-s

boostedfrs · 04-17-2015, 10:45 AM

Ya ill let you guys know how big of a difference the hood vents make. The fender vents are not for heat. They are for relieving high pressure lift in the wheel wells

sw20kosh · 04-17-2015, 06:01 PM

You guys must like spending money...

We have solved our FI heat issues with a large oil cooler core mounted in the center in front of the radiator/condenser. 0 other modifications. 0 body work. 0 ducting. 0 aftermarket fan shrouds. 0 aftermarket fans. 0 crash beam delete. 0 anything else. Stock Radiator. Skid plate in place and un-modified.

Max temps: 210 F coolant, 218 F oil after 25 mins of hot laps at multiple tracks in winter and in summer. 60+ psi oil pressure to redline. 5w30. 2 cars with this setup have been running this for a year with 15+ track days.
