Lowrcase Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I know the basic answer is YES but there is an actual reason I ask! My car has recently clocked over to 101k miles & has had some work done on the engine including a remap. Now I'm starting to get the dreaded spark plug/coil pack death syndrome. Cylinder 1 has started to misfire! I put new plugs in along with all new fluids just before the remap a couple of months ago. I've got new standard plugs ordered & gonna swap them out as a matter of course anyhoo but I got a feeling it's the coil pack! Was speaking to a tuner dude yesterday & he said Nissans engines, along with a lot of other brands, run hotter after remapping so are more likely to burn out the sensitive electrical gubbins. Especially on high milers! Now I know he ain't on about water/coolant temp as they are fine but also its oil that circulates around the heads. So if I spunk out £366 on a Mishimoto oil cooler kit am I still gonna cook the shizzle out of my packs or will that be enough oil cooling to save them? Also it looks cool a fook man!

Tricky-Ricky Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 (edited) Absolutely no reason to get an oil cooler unless the engine is highly tuned N/A and i mean race spec, or used as a track toy full time, or it turbo charged, If its supercharged its no always necessary unless your seeing oil temperatures of over 120c on a regular basis.

ZMANALEX Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 The basic answer is NO. Sounds like your issue may be plugs or coil packs. Your tuner in this instance is talking bull drop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian@TORQEN Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 +1 on above, unless supercharged / TT or you're on the track on a weekly basis, there's no point to get an oil cooler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philw99 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Must admit I set myself a little oil cooler challenge. If I could get an oil cooler fitted with no leaks and do a track day I'd go forced induction! That was about 2 years ago. Still not gone forced induction oil cooler working well but currently pointless. Sent on the move, excuse any typos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowrcase Posted September 1, 2016 Author Share Posted September 1, 2016 Cheers guys. She will be tracked but not till next year & if she survives that then a big fat turbo will be fitted in 2 years & then I'll fit an oil cooler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Sounds like you have a plan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
