Hey buddy, Happy 2022 to you, too! I just bought myself a Christmas present; a 1994 LHD Twin Turbo 1JZ-GTE Soarer/SC300 project. It’s incomplete but it runs and drives so well! The stock twins are seemingly always in boost. My 1990 MR2 Turbo and my 1994 Celica Turbo have finally met their big brother! Still got the LS400 holding down daily duties so my dream garage is finally complete! Just wanted to share that with someone who can relate. Great content, as usual. Your MR2 is getting nothing but the best. Love to see it.

I relocated the filters on my S-10 and my Isuzu Trooper. I also switched the filter to a large and common Chevy V8 filter. The filter was more than double the size but cost the same. I mainly did the relocation because the filter sat at a 45° angle and would get oil all over the exhaust and frame when changing oil. Plus if you did a change on a hot engine there was a 99% chance you were burning your arm. I located the filter under the hood and moved the sensors to the mounting pad so they were away from exhaust heat. I can now change the filter easily with good lighting and no awkward gymnastics. I can also fill the filter with oil, which takes close to 1L, and avoid a dry startup.

One of the reasons tuners use a separate cooler instead of a heat exchanger is that you free up some cooling capacity of the radiator, without fitting an upgrade. Normally, it would have to deal with both the heat of the coolant and oil, and with some extra power/under higher loads this could lead to overheating, fitting a separate oil cooler is just a way of increasing the overall cooling capacity
@diesistkeinname7953 жыл бұрын
@@petermolnar8667 While that is true, an oil/air heatexchanger is suboptimal in case of the MR2 (all 3 generations) there is no good point to mount it. The side air intakes are too small and would result in higher engine bay temperatures. Front mounting would require some absurdly long lines and taking air from below would clog up or damage the oil cooler quickly. So for a turbocharged MR2, it makes more sense to use an oil/water heatexchanger and upgrade the water/air heat exchanger seperately. Besides, the water/air heatexchanger needs an upgrade anyway when you turbocharge the car, so this doesn't realy affect costs much because you'll need to get a new one anyway. Sidenote: At least the EUDM MK3 came with an oil/water heatexchanger from the factory due to the expected long periods of WOT on the Autobahn and the resulting high oil temperatures.

I work more with diesel engines rather than gas engines, but what about using an oil to coolant heat exchanger rather than an air cooler? These typically have a higher heat capacity than an air cooler, can be pretty compact, and prevent over cooling, in most cases not requiring a thermostat. You can even get one that sandwiches in between the filter and filter head, so no additional plumbing needed.

Awesome, I used the GREDDY thermostatic sandwich plate with an ebay relocation kit that looks exactly like that one in design. It works great on my 2ZR-FAE, that engine doesn't have room around the filter housing to fit the AN fittings, probably with the banjo fittings I could've done it, but even then the greddy plate didn't replicate the filter well enough and would not catch the threads on the oil filter housing, so I set it up just like you did on this video. I can't recommend using thread sealant enough before you run any oil through the lines, it definitely will leak even though it uses NPT fittings. My engine averages 50PSI on cold starts, so the oil pressure builds up way before my oil gauge boots up which is in less than a second.

Ideally, it would be close to a vent to the top to let the hot air escape. It should be away from the frame in order not to weaken it. Battery doesn't like heat. I guess the only way to deal with the exhaust, is to use double walls like on a motorbike. Or triple walls. At least you need some space between block and turbo to insert all the heat shields. A turbo has a cold and a hot side and bearings at 60°C in between. Okay, 60°C is much closer to the intake temp then to the exhaust. How do they even insulate the turbine wheel from the bearing? In a jet-engine I guess they have this hollow, large diameter rim thingy where the heat would need to travel a foot of sheet metal before it reaches the bearing. Yeah, maybe the bearings are indeed hot, but the oil is injected at a very low temperature and is sucked away before it has time to cook.

Over sixty years ago, an old mechanic told me that the oil filter should be mounted "right side" up, NOT upside down. He said mounting it upside down with the input/output holes facing down, allows the oil to drain out of the filter causing a dry/no oil condition on the engine restart. Whereas with the filter mounted correctly the oil filter can stays filled with oil. A small side benefit is the oil stays in the filter when unscrewing the filter instead of spilling all over.

1 reason to relocate it is difficulty accessing it in stock location. On the Rb26 it's under the intake plenum and it's hard to change it over without making a mess of oil all over the front diff. Installing an oil cooler + relocation kit will help improve engine life longevity and make oil changes easier at the same time. Win win.

Great episode. Have you ever thought about an pre-start electric oil pump, purely to bring up oil pressure before starting. Or a manual hand operated oil pump, like they have for priming diesel injector pumps, but to prime the oil system.

Isn’t there an application to hook up an electric pump to build oil pressure before the crank?

Can you install this relocation kit without removing the original housing (my OE oil filter housing is also a drive shaft carrier so I cannot remove it)? I want to just thread a relocation kit in place of the old oil filter...

i was thinking, is there any benefit to mount the cooler upside down (line in/out on the bottom side) and located a bit higher from the oil filter?. that way the cooler would be drained everytime you change the oil filter

Not just for turbo guys. These are great for people like me, who like to change oil every 1k miles, due to lead foot disease. Put the filter in a place easier to reach.
