F.I. oil cooler

AV8rZ

Just finished installing my FI Oil Cooler and noticed the whining noise other people have complained about when I drove the car. Sounds like a bad power steering pump. Volume is relative to RPM's. At idle it is very faint but during driving it gets louder. Does everyone with this kit get this noise and is there anything I can do to quiet it down?

40 to 332

Is this whining noise a common problem with oil coolers? Is it limited to the FI oil cooler or is it noticeable with other makes (Stillen, Z1, Mishimoto)? I'm considering installing an oil cooler and I'd like to know what to expect so there's no surprises. Any feedback from those who have installed oil coolers would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I have the same FI 34 row oil cooler kit and also notice the whining noise.

It might be because the oil lines touch the plastic under shroud (or something else) but I could be wrong.

I would remove the under shroud and see if the whining noise goes away.

If anyone knows how to fix this noise issue please do share.

If you look at mine in the for sale section you will see the lines have I believe 1/2 inch heater hose cut in many sections and zip tied to the lines. I put this on the lines right after I noticed the noise and it did quiet it down but did not eliminate it. I believe it's a combination of the vibration in the lines and the oil passing through, all of which is normal.

Mine has a whine as well.. after the oil has warmed up and car is on basic idle the whine is there if the background is quiet .. ive always thought it was the g3 intakes as it created a slight whine 3k-5k rpm. But good to know it could be the cooler. Installed a z1 19 about 10weeks ago
