This will be true if you kept your OEM oil-to-water cooler and ran the oil-to-air cooler in series. The OEM cooler also serves to rapidly warm the oil and it is relatively effective. In cold climates, however, we would still recommend a thermostatic control.... and we would DEFINITELY...

The Setrab 948 is a GREAT cooler! Ideal oil temps? I think if you can operate over 185F and under 250F, it would be ideal. If you are consistently under 185 (not too likely in a race car but for a dual-purpose car, you can get there), then you need a thermostat to help get the oil temps up to...

As we offer an oil cooler kit for the Mustang (based on the Setrab 172), Mishimoto can be considered a competitor so you can consider our remarks accordingly.I sincerely believe that the Mishimoto guys are a bunch of Bozos and they are going to end up blowing up somebody's car. They are the...

Hi Steve!! To answer your questions. Yes, the downtubes are straight. The diagonal for the main hoop is in-plane and the harness bar is kicked back ~6" to provide full seat travel and proper harness height. There IS a short connector between the two (shown in the first picture of the welds)...

It’s great to see so many track enthusiasts gathered in one place and sharing their experiences in driving these cars the way they were intended to be used. Hats off to the moderators and participants who have contributed to the great content of this site and have made it the success that it...

It's good that we have all of you track-oriented folks interested in understanding oil temps and how to control them. I think this is a key to the engine's longevity. From our experience, there's a couple of principles that you should try to follow. First, from an avoidance perspective -...

Between these 2, I think the 640. You also want to pay attention to the pressure restrictions of the cooler - as the higher this number the greater the work load on the oil pump. See this chart: http://www.setrabusa.com/pdf/Application_and_performance_suggestions_112610.pdfAlso, in our...

Just saw this post and my $.02 is that it is unlikely to be fuel rail/pressure problems. These kind of problems would seem to also mave some kind of manifestation at run time and not just start-up.At start-up, the ECu is trying to get a good read on cam and crank position sensors - and I...

This system is SOLD. Shipped out tonight to new home. Thanks BMO.

I have a complete Kook's exhaust system for sale that was recently removed from our 2013 Laguna Seca prior to being sold to a dealership - who preferred to have a stock exhaust system.This system is absolutely unique because it is the ONLY Long Tube Header system that I am aware of that will...

Justin, hijacking this thread is not the place but you and I will disagree on aftermarket CAI's for the Boss engine. If you follow your "logic" that bigger is better, it is fundamentally flawed. If we take the AIRAID and assume it is OEM, and then XYZ company comes out with something a little...

I think you should re-test before you contemplate any other changes. I would recommend pulling your spark plugs - re-confirming gap and potentially just replacing them with new as inexpensive insurance. Run through your current tank of fuel - using the black key and then get another tank of...

On the side of the block just aft of the oil filter (driver's side) you'll see a plug with a large inversed hex head. Allegedly, that's where a block heater would go. Anyway, I think the threads are 1/2 NPT. You can source a brass adapter at Home Depot. You can T the OEM oil pressure...

Hi Sean!Great questions! I think already proactively answered by another member but bascially the thermostat is just moving a diverter valve. It never really puts an obstacle in the path of the oil - nor pressure against the pump. When closed, it basically just diverts the oil through a...

Hi Steve, and all other members!!Sorry it has been so long. The day job (i.e., the necessary evil to have the toys) has had me pretty swamped!! As many of you know our primary hobby buisness is with the Ford GT's. Long story short, I had a fellow GT Owner make me an offer I couldn't refuse...
