Everyone can make a car go fast, but supporting mods should also be considered. If you're putting your vehicle through any sort of motorsports abuse, albeit on the street, on a track or heading to work, you should not over look this one crucial part.
If you're increasing boost and running your car hard, it'll generate a massive amount of heat that can be very detrimental to a vehicles reliability and long-term health.
In this video we upgrade the tired and worn-out factory oil cooler and replace it with a massive unit. Of course, these cars are almost like lego and this upgrade could be completed on many different models including the following: N54, N55, N63, e90, e92, e93, e82, e70, etc. - just to name a few.
Stay tuned and see how this eBay part fits, was it 1/5 the price of an expensive kit? yes. Does it fit nicely enough? well. Lets find out!

Thank you for the video. Im about to do this same upgrade and your video is super helpful in my decision to get this kit and in my research of how to install. One thing I noticed is Vehicular DIY used the provided 90deg fitting on the top connection of the oil cooler and because its slim he didnt have to bend the corner back. So I wonder if you have one of the hoses backwards. The straight fitting I would use on the right connection of the thermo (the one closer to the drivers side), when you used 90s on both connections it made them hit each other, so the provided straight fitting would space them out (and you wouldn’t need the AN extension piece you’re recommending below). Also, one of the hoses is 1.4m and the other is 1.6m with a straight fitting so that would go the longer distance from the bottom of the oil cooler to the far side of the thermo with the straight fitting there. But all is well that ends well, glad you had an extra fitting and some creativity to still make it work. Again, you have gone through the install and I havent yet so you may be right, but I appreciate your video so I can stand on the shoulders of you giants. Thank you and Keep it going!

Was thinking about ordering this ? is there anything extra I would need to purchase as far as the fittings go ?

@tony.nextlevelrides 3 ай бұрын

I would get one AN extension piece so the cooler lines run one on top of the other. like this. AC PERFORMANCE Aluminum an Extender -10 an Female Flare to AN10 (7/8-14) Male Extensions Fitting Adaptor with O-Ring ORB, Full Length 46.75mm, Black a.co/d/ifcBTCA

@@tony.nextlevelrides can I ask you a question should I just get the turbos which come with the gaskets and all that do I need to get anything else? The car is at a local shop that always works on it for me. He is the one that will be installing them.

Tony great video. I am using the same G Plus oil cooler. I have new up having leaks at the oil thermostat even after using several adapter kits and o-ring. I got so frustrated that I ended up getting an oil thermostat block off plate and an external thermostat. No leaks said nice! What are your thoughts on this method? Thx

@tony.nextlevelrides 4 ай бұрын

should work the same! don't see an issue going that way. it started sweating near the o rings so I'll get out sorted for him in the next week or so. I'm going to grind down the portion where the bolt goes through a bit so the sit more flush into the housing. should work then.

@edwardwerley8831 4 ай бұрын

Perfect. Thanks. Yea I’ve seen that mod when I was looking at solutions. I also wanted lower the thermostat open temp so it was a two for one solution for me.

@tony.nextlevelrides 4 ай бұрын

you can shim the factory thermostat to crack open at a lower temperature. you can also get the thermostat piece from BMS to do the same. increases cooling.

@edwardwerley8831 4 ай бұрын

I didn’t know about the shimming but know about the replacements for factory thermostat

What’s your opinion on open oil thermostat or oil thermostat delete ?

@tony.nextlevelrides 2 ай бұрын

having a thermostat will keep the oil at the right temperature and help it cool. running without isn't a good idea since it would take long to warm up and likely over cool. not worth reinventing the wheel.
