20v oil cooler setup

[sprint86]

has anyone done an oil cooler setup on a 20valve?
im thinking about doin one but i need more info!
cheers josh!

Pretty sure there is kits available but all you really need is an Oil cooler sandwich plate, oil cooler, lines and fittings. i have seen a few done with a return line directly to the sump as well.

i had an sandwich plate and sump with a return barb but i gave it away with my car/

this is my core, and sandwich plate,
my concern is, from the sandwich outlet, it passes through the core, but then after the oil goes through the core , were does it go then? it needs a return doesent it?
im a little confused ay

yep. u have to weld a return bung/barb onto the 20v sump.
some 16v ones (which is what your above pictures setup is originally from) had that setup on originally but the sumps are slightly different between 20v and 16v. so u wil have to mod your own.

i have been told that the standard oil cooler setup from a 16v is actually a oil by pass that only allows 10% flow, can anyone confirm ?

In the states, Moto-P wrote in a write up that the 16V oil cooler sandwich plate can't be used with 20V b/c it bleeds off too much oil pressure ( I don't understand this) and keeps VVT from activating, which needs high oil pressure.

I have a Greddy cooler on my 20V, it has sandwich plate with inbuilt thermostat and return.

There is one currently available for good price on Twincam ($400) http://www.twincam.info/index.php?showtopic=40866 They can be upto $700 new.

well if anyone can comfurm that vvti will not work properly with only 10per cent flow, this would be a great help?
thanks guys!

the high pressure would be alot more efficient than the stock setup u have tbh.
and involves alot less mucking around with removing sump + welding etc.

but hey, give it a shot and see what happens if u cant get ur hands on a decent cooler setup

[sprint86]

well, i might get the car running and back together, then i might give it a go ay! i need to reseal my sump anyways! posibly could change the release valve for a a differnt spring rate do get higher oil flow ay?
what does everyone recon?

[Hen may possibly be a nut]

You can't change your oil FLOW (short of changing your entire oil pump to a bigger one). And the spring on the pressure relief will only cap the pressure at high RPM, it won't change anything at lower RPM/idle.

it would appear not

oil cooler is only reaaaallllyyy needed on a track car. the good thing about the toyota one is that it has a little valve in it that only flows oil when your reving it (pressure opperated thing). so you dont over cool your oil. you have to be careful with some of these aftermarket kits make sure they have some sort of thermostat keeping the oil hot. cold oil will kill engines fast!

btw there is an oil cooler for sale on twin cam!

here is a good article on how to do a full flow oil cooler setup, written by my mechanics:

i am running an oil cooler (earls 16 row) with a custom oil filter relocation housing w/ thermostat built into the housing + accusump.

(the housing is below the battery tray. the 180° fitting goes to the accusump. the green wire goes to the oil temp gauge.)

(the accusump is below the charcoal canister.)

the housing is pricey but it saves some fittings and is cleaner to install.
