Cool lookin 180D. I pictured it black also. Back to EGT tho. Is the best place to put the egt probe in the collector for the turbo?

yes

Here is mine, but you don't really need to remove the manifold .

The oil cooler parts arrived and are ready for a weekend install project! Now I need to learn how to assemble braided stainless lines.

The oil cooler is installed!

Installing AN braided steel fittings was super easy- way easier than I expected. I just took it on a test drive in heavy traffic with the A/C running and it stayed under 90C, but it's hard to tell how it would be on a hill climb.

I was very careful to route the hose so that there is zero chance of chafing, and with strain supports for the oil cooler. Hopefully this system will be more reliable than the factory oil cooler.

That is a massive oil cooler!!!! It looks good, and the mounting of the hoses looks good.

Thanks! It's probably an overkill, but it's really intended to cool the engine itself rather than just the oil.

I'm convinced that the D24T doesn't need an oil cooler to keep oil temps low enough with good synthetic oil, but Wren Wright on the D24 e-mail list suggested this as a method to increase the overall cooling capacity of the engine.

I've not fitted an EGT gauge to mine, just because I don't want to take the manifold off.

If you were to drill and tap the manifold without removing it, wouldn't you just get metal swarf in the turbo?

After pulling the radiator, I found it still clogged with oil six months after extensive cleaning!

So I soaked it with purple degreaser for an hour, reinstalled, and did TurboGreasel's electrasol flush TWICE. Hopefully it's clean now.

I also added an OEM 1992+ intercooler while retaining the factory A/C (which still blows cold). I had to remove the pusher fan to make room, and move the A/C condenser down and forward while fabricating new brackets (the condenser now bolts to the intercooler like 92+ cars). Also had to cut and grind on the car with the dremel for a solid day to make everything fit. I think this only fits because I have a newer NISSENS radiator which has intercooler piping cutouts on the end tanks.



I still need to plumb the intercooler in, coming soon! The plumbing will be VERY tight on the passenger (right) side, I'll probably need to re-clock the turbo, and cut part of the airbox away.

Also, the A/C condenser is now in the way of the hood cable- I added some rubber hose guides for now but will soon fabricate a new cable from a bicycle brake cable kit to route it around the condenser.

Anyone know if the plastic "wind guides" between the radiator and bumper do anything useful? I had to pull it to fit all this crap in there, but I could probably get it back in with some careful cutting and Turbobricks style "zip-tie sewing."

I think they are a part of the equation, but the ones from a newer car might just fit.
Did you have to do much trimming on the uprights by the radiator? I got a rad cradle off a 93+ to put that style intercooler in my car, but I think I am going with an China Xtreme Racing IC instead.
