Another small update.
Car went down to “super Jules” once more to have the oil cooler saga sorted out.
I say saga because originally it was to have the mishimoto kit fitted. However as seen with Rob’s project thread - it’s really not meant for a U.K. Impreza.
So that went back and along came the HEL kit. Only problem was - it was too big!!
We could have made it fit but 50% of the cooler would have been below the bumper and effectively not used.
So that went back and along come the spec C size oil cooler.
Fits like a dream and all of the cooler is in airflow meaning it’s being used efficiently.
Couple of hours and Jules had it fitted and nipped up neatly.
So usual oil temp is 85-95 depending on speed and roads.
On way home the thermostatic plate kicks in at 80 and kept the oil at 80-85 all the way.
Really worked well including when I stopped for fuel - left garage at 95-100 and within a few miles was back down to 80-85...
Also gave the car another oil and filter change - even though it’s only been 180 miles and 6 months since the last one! Motul 300v chrono as usual...
