aarang Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Hey AE2ZX, sorry to hijack your thread, but I was installing a 280ZXT oil cooler and adapter into my car. I have forgotten how this thing goes in since it has been such a long time that I saw one installed last. Could you take some pics on how the lines are routed and the cooler is mounted. I'm beginning to wonder if I have the right thing!! Thanks in advance. Car is looking good by the way!! I'll post a couple of pics of my car when I find my camera!

AE2ZX Posted September 12, 2006 Author Share Posted September 12, 2006 the oil cooler was smashed on the turbo car , so iam just going to install a aftermarket one that gray had laying around... i cut my lines that ran to it and whats left of it is still under the fender but there wasnt much ..sorry man ...bleach had took some pics of his when he did his swap i rember seeing them over at Zdriver.com ..if you go there and search 280zx forums you should be able to find his post along with the pics you are looking for ..

BleachZee Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Personally I wouldn't trust any of those cheap ones for $59 or less. Probably junk. They might work ok but maybe they'll fall apart one day when you need them. Get the last one for $135. R2D2 I hope it beeps just like R2D2. I just put on my Nissan Silvia (factory) BOV and it sucks. Its worse than the Forge one. It sucks in air at idle and lets out boost at only 4psi. What a piece of crap... ...now I actually have to spend money on a BOV... or basically I won't have one for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleachZee Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 The silvia BOV is a recirc unit but I have it going to open air. It sounds crappy too... very quiet and low tone. I suppose it flows fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
