What presure should it open to let oil into the cooler?

 

Mine only allows it through at 6 bar which seen to high and the oil as a result gets too hot for my liking.

shouldn't it be around 4?

Thats what I think, but I'm seeking conformation.

So Someone is it 4 Bar???????????????

 

Guy on TT Nett recons so just looking for final comfermation that my regulator is fooked

Mark, probably better replacing it with a sandwich plate offtake and a thermostat.

Becomes temp controlled then rather than pressure and tends to work better.

Oil temp should ideally be 80-110 deg C. 130 is very bad, not sure where yours is.

Probably up at leons this wekend doing the V8 intakes if you want to drop over.

Hi John I have a Greddy sandwich plate on and was going to do this at on friday. + I have a thermostatic valve. I was just a bit concerned at loosing presure, because the regulator would in effect be byepast.

 

What day? and are you still up for doing a bit of on road setting up?

Would need to have a look at the diagrams but I'd imagine you'd be best to block the original cooler lines as its a bypass system. I think the pressure valve to the cooler is separate from the main pressure relief valve in the pump.

The greddy plates I have seen don't have big enough off takes for a cooler, you need at least 5/8" (-10 or 5/8 BSP fittings, preferably 3/4").

You sure cos the original cooler out puts are only 10mm. So thats what I got from cooler to feeds.

Thats bore size not external diamiter or thread size

Yes, but the original system doesn't flow the entire amount of oil going around the system, it just bypasses some of it off. With a sandwich plate, the entire amount goes through it so you need bigger pipework to minimise pressure drop.
