Jetpilot Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Looking at the Mishimoto oil cooler, any issues with fitting with a front mount intercooler guys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumping350 Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 should be fine many others have done so in the past Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Had the Mishimoto oil cooler on my Zed and the only issue was that it was a tight squeeze fitting it in there behind the bumper. You may be able to see from the picture below that some of the plastic fins needed to be trimmed so that it didn't rub. Other than that though fairly straight forward AFAIK.

Tricky-Ricky Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 If you can avoid fitting in front of the FMIC I would as its going to cut down its efficiency, don't know what size oil cooler you intend fitting, but it shouldn't need to be very big if your only supercharged as they don't add anywhere as much heat to the oil as a turbo.

Jetpilot Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 http://www.mishimoto.co.uk/03-09-nissan-350z-03-07-infiniti-g35-coupe-oil-cooler-kit.html Seems the Mishi sits to the side somewhat, so would probably put a vent in the bumper to cool evenly. Or external mount if i was feeling angry and brave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bodyboarder81 Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Mine runs very cool as well . I will have to put a blanking plate over it when the weather gets really cold . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 Overkill then? I am already running an aps high capacity cooled sump, maybe i should just get a temp gauge on and see whats happening first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian@TORQEN Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 If you're not doing a lot of track days and you're not going / are already FI, it's an overkill IMO, specially if you have a larger sump. Getting a gauge it's a good call if you're genuinely worried about the oil temp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tricky-Ricky Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Just to point out that the oil needs to reach a minimum of 90c and preferably 100c or water vapor etc are not re evaporated, so most coolers need covering in cold weather to avoid over cooling which is just as bad, if not worse that getting too hot, and if not your better off without one, also remember that there is a constant small flow of oil through the cooler from a thermostatic plate anyway to avoid thermal shock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 Think i will get a gauge and see what happens come spring/summer and more so on track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nissanman312 Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 I've moved mine back in the pecking order and once warm it sits between 90 and 110 I'm happy with it now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am already running an aps high capacity cooled sump, maybe i should just get a temp gauge on and see whats happening first Think i will get a gauge and see what happens come spring/summer and more so on track I would definitely get an oil temperature gauge fitted then if you haven't already. My SC'd Zed used to sit around 90 under normal daily use with it going up to around 100/110 odd on slightly warmer days. Soon as I went on track it was up to around 120/130+ within a lap or so. Definitely wise keeping an eye on these things if you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
