Hey man sorry the post office lost your hardware! I am mailing you a new set of hardware right now. Thank you for the awesome review and hope you enjoy your Brackets 👍🏻
It’s crazy that the Evo X had the following in 2008 stock: Front mount inter cooler Front mount oil cooler Twin scroll turbo Forged pistons Front Strut bar Recaros When I had my STi I wanted all of the above, so I just caved and bought the Evo. You’re right the subie needs better cooling, how have they not addressed it in 2019, crazy to me.
The WRX comes with a stock oil cooler but it uses coolant to cool the oil not an actual cooler like the perrin unit. The fa20dit can handle and make 400whp stock turbo, stock block, stock transmission.
I know this video is 3+ years old but I do have a top mount mishimoto oil cooler on my 2018 wrx with a VIS v2 hood and oil Temps are amazing. My 4" ETS intercooler and Koyo radiator have no heat soak issues because of the cooler being top mount. SGood did an amazing job. Noted, I did make custom black PTFE oil lines to the oil cooler because the lines that came with the kit are to long and look like crap, if you are considering going this route I would recommend the same.
Hey! I finally got my WRX!!! I just wanted to tell you cause I started watching your channel a few months back and grinded till I had a good down payment saved up. Gotta say your channel kept me motivated and focused haha. Thanks for the great content and as always keep up the great work
You are right on target about the s209. Laughable at best. For the cost, no way. Even the 2020 Camry trd is said to be a whopping 300 how. Right there with the sti. All I know, Subaru needs to up their power cause competitors are passing up wrx in terms of stock power.
@@CarsWithJR it gets hot in the east bay, as you know, into triple digit heat sometime. but i've never seen the oil temp go up beyond the normal range. only happened during summer track day at 230-250F temp range. I just feel that oil temp is too cold for optimal operating temp.
White Wing STI_E36 the Oil Cooler from Perrin and Mishimoto both come thermostatic and have a 180F thermostat installed. Mishimoto also has the option of buying any thermostat you want for $5 and it will keep it at whatever temps you would like.
Hey man, am thinking about putting j pipe on my 15 wrx but don’t have access port yet, Do I have to get my car tuned after I installed the J pipe? You seem to know a lot about wrx, thanks for answer.
The Mustang and the STi are for different demographic. The Mustang is for those who like drag racing and like to compete with the size of their private parts. On the other hand, the STi is for those who enjoy the excellent road handling. STi is not a drag racing car. It is really apple to orange. Similar price range does not make the two cars comparable. You should know that.
Of course I know that. That's why I said they "indirectly" competed against each other. The Mustang now has amazing handling capabilities and is no longer a straight line only car. For $50k, the Mustang GT350 is a more capable car around a track than a 50K RA.
i was thinking about doing front mount intercooler on stock turbo, i did research on it but i wanted your opinion on it! any lag or different from the top mount
Odd question. Can't you run both oil coolers at the same time? The s209.. meh, I feel like its just a different trim STI. Really need a whole new design both body and engine to give me that wow factor. Just my imo. How much cooling does this give oil vs the front mount? - nvm you answered this as i kept watching =p. Looks like a sold product, will have to add it to my list of items.
Chad D no you can’t run both and there is no need to. The oil coolers actually are thermostatic which only allow the oil to run through them when it reaches a certain temp so they don’t cool the oil too much. The Perrin and Mishimoto Oil Coolers come with a 180F thermostat that works perfectly with our engines.
The s209 was nvr supposed to be a new design. The s205, s206, s207, s208 all were the ultimate editions of that generation. Also its a limited production car so bnb its gonna be expensive. Look at a damn 22b sti same thing
@@CarsWithJR I was thinking under 200 could keep it from burning them off. Only reason I haven't went for oil cooling, my temps average about 210, and I read 200-220 is where you want your daily. Idk like you said in your video I'm not a mechanical engineer 😂😂
Target temp depends on the oil and weight. The golden rule is 160F minimum before going WOT. At autocross, track, and hot days, my temps can go up to 250-260. Having an oil cooler in winter is easy. Most make a block of "plate". Scissors, material and tape over the cooler. Having it top mounted makes it easy to access. Also, they are relatively easy to install and remove.
I want to top mount my oil cooler on a GT86 with a similar hood to yours (I have the seibon FA style hood) everyone says I've lost my marbles and told me I'm not a true car guy... thoughts? 🤣 will the oil cooler heat soak?
Why do they need a new engine you have fools still raving about how great the 2jz is it's old as shit if it's not broke then why fix it the EJ stock block is good for about 500 hp new design for the sake of new design will run the cost up

where to buy these braket
How do we order these brackets?
Really make me miss my WRX. I miss wrenching on IT. Quality stuff man! I still watch your vids even though i don't have the WRX 😂
It’s crazy that the Evo X had the following in 2008 stock:
Front mount inter cooler
Front mount oil cooler
Twin scroll turbo
Forged pistons
Front Strut bar
Recaros

Michael Lilly I had an STI and the wrx is clearly better with that FA20 I cannot deny.
That 4B11 thooo.. LOLOL
Eric Jung what about it

Cant belive that engine bay is for a car who it driven on daily basis... still waiting for a full detail video
there has been many
We need a detail video!! Interior and exterior!!

Oil cooler looks great
Good video. The car is looking premium. I love those quick jacks.
JR back with another install video... hell yeah!!!

No I have a similar feeling that Ford is chasing Subaru. The new Taurus looks like the current gen legacy with the new Zealand sti sport package
It's now summer time, wanted to know if you were able to determine how much of a drop in oil temps you now see when driving...?
great video. You should change to another camera, the autofocus is extremely distracting. But do love your video.
I don't use my under neath shroud. I'll sell it to Ya. it's off my 18 wrx base. Took it off due to my dual oil cooler top mount.
Great video man! I love the longer videos!!
"To be honest with ya..." - JR
If you ever make a shirt, that needs to be on it.
Good point on the S209, I was disappointed by the seat. I thought it will be like the S207 or the S208.
Do i have to add extra quart of oil every oil change or its only one time?
Stay safe brother.
Oil temperature shows in display ?
Where did you get those floor lifts from? The video was great really enjoyed it
They are called Quick Jacks.
@@CarsWithJR I meant to ask what brand and how much do they lift ?
The Brand is Quick Jack and the max weight can vary depending on which model you get. 🤙
Is there any risk of the oil cooler leaking oil onto your manifold? I’d hate to see your car do a Hoovie 🔥. Great videos!
Hey I was just wondering if anyone knows if this cooler fits the 2002-2006 wrx
Only fits 2015-2021 WRX
How do you have your hud show oil temp? Sorry new owner of an 18 STI
Is it thermostatic? 167F oil temp... is that optimum operating temp? not familiar with FA but with EJ it's around 190F normal temp.
Above 160. Without the oil cooler it usually stays around 190-220 under normal conditions.
@@CarsWithJR isn't that a bit out of range?
White Wing STI_E36 mine will stay above 200 on warm days with light the oil cooler. 🤔

T-6 oil will thin out around 260 degrees you will never get the Subaru that hot for long enough to cause any damage

And where do you get this top mount kit?
The Perrin engine parts cover - is it functional or just for looks? I mean dust will still get in there correct?
lmao @ bmw i mean supra... i see you...
i was thinking about doing front mount intercooler on stock turbo, i did research on it but i wanted your opinion on it! any lag or different from the top mount
Where do you get that hood shroud?
Subiespeed has the OLM S209 replica wing now! Are you going to get one?
2:05 - "Supporting the new BMW, i mean Toyota Supra" bahahahahahaha!!!!
Did you get the standard subscription or premium subscription for car gazette?
Do you plan on getting the ibr intake manifold kit?
That woul be an excellent product to review.
Hey where did you get the blue cap with the crown on it?

@@sgoodperformance2287 ahh ty for the update, I always wondered why you can't run an fmic and tmic at same time ? ..
Is there such thing as a transmission fluid cooler ? ... guess you would need some sort of pump to move the fluid thru the intercooler and back.
The s209 was nvr supposed to be a new design. The s205, s206, s207, s208 all were the ultimate editions of that generation. Also its a limited production car so bnb its gonna be expensive. Look at a damn 22b sti same thing
@@DustinB855 Oh right , very true, well i guess its understandable =p. Im just ready for next new sexy WRX/STI =)
Is there a tmoc kit for the 2015+ wrx sti
Gt500 is sooooooooo nice
how do you maintain your engine bay?
Is your oil still getting hot enough to burn off unwanted byproducts? Or do you just change your oil ever 1500 miles to be safe?
My oil temps will top out at 190 in these cold ambient temps. 1500 miles is overkill.

Lmfao the supporting the new bmw supra had me deadd
What jacks are those?
Quick Jacks.
can i ask what wrench you use for your an fittings?
It's an adjustable wrench for AN fittings.
@@CarsWithJR thanks, Amazon I assume?
I want to top mount my oil cooler on a GT86 with a similar hood to yours (I have the seibon FA style hood) everyone says I've lost my marbles and told me I'm not a true car guy... thoughts? 🤣 will the oil cooler heat soak?
Sell me ur Perrin one lol
S209 is pretty damn disappointing honestly, only like 50 more HP? And that spray? I think subaru just playing us with that one
Sorry no s209. They need to engineer a new engine then maybe.... not worth the money for me. Gt500 yes!!!
Why do they need a new engine you have fools still raving about how great the 2jz is it's old as shit if it's not broke then why fix it the EJ stock block is good for about 500 hp new design for the sake of new design will run the cost up
Put some rotella T-6 5w40 in your car you will never have oil heat issues ever again
