Did you get a chance to drive with the Gt28rs for comparison?

No I have not. However I can't see them spooling any better. Tip into the throttle even below 3K and it just pulls. I couldn't be happier with the response.

The differences in response between the two are likely going to be so small that they are only realized on a dyno.

New dyno updates on Instagram!!! :DDDD

Stalker!

Those are solid #s for the boost level and crappy CA 91 octane. Temps were fairly high today as well

Great numbers! Congrats.

Now we are all anxiously/impatiently waiting to see the numbers from the other two cars

Hint hint!!!

You know what he has changed to...I just have not released the option to the public yet!

Thank You so much for everything today Tony, I know we've spend an entire day tuning my 2013 Nissan 370z. Thank You so much for taking the time to explain and show me stuff about dyno, turbos, timing, octane, etc... I am very happy with the power and can't wait to get my car back. I was absolutely blown away with the results we achieved by changing from 91 to 100 octane.

Tony and The Fast Intentions Team spend entire day tuning my car, big thanks to you and to Specialty Z for all their work. Tony and his team definitely goes above and beyond for his customers. I feel like we made well over 30 pulls on the dyno today. I was really surprised with oil temps, I've never seen them this low... This kit and the quality of work is definitely worth every single penny.

I wish Fast Intentions would now start servicing my M5 ;).

My car wasn't picked up for Dyno testing... I'm sad

Hmmm Tony any reason not to go with the 3" over the 2.5"? I know we've probably discussed it before but I forget lol.

Awesome update tony! Am I next in line??

Yours and faceglides are getting done together. His engine is coming out Monday and yours should only be a few days behind him.

Thanks, Tony

Good solid numbers with so little boost!!! It's amazing the performance increase with high octane full and a little more boost. This is exciting, thanks SZ and FI for all you do! :excited:

Hats off to you guys for delivering!

So here is the kicker with all of this. What we did with Nklear's car is take all of the 91 Octane out while leaving the gas gauge at "2 Dots". From there we added 10 gallons of 100 Octane which gave him 3/4 tank overall. That being said, the car is not tuned on exactly 100 Octane. The rating is lower. It is hard to speculate how much lower but we were all in agreement that our customers tuning on 93 Octane should see similar numbers as we did on our 91/100 mixture. The reason we did this that way was to allow him to not pull in to a station on 91 fumes and then fill up with 100. It gives a little wiggle room so the car is not bone dry. Much safer this way as well.

Thanks, Tony

Fast Intentions 34 Row Oil Cooler Kit
 

To all,

I am only posting this here because it pertains to the TT Kit as well. Once we dial in pricing for the N/A version (pictured below), I will launch an official thread for it and have it up on our website as well. That being said, we are proud to finally release our 34 Oil Cooler Kit for the 370Z available for all years, 2009-2014!!! As most of us know, the 2012+ comes with a coolant recirculation system that is sub par at best. We have incorporated the permanent solution to eliminate that OEM cooler.

Our Kit has been in R&D on multiple cars for over 6 months and been running flawlessly with a dramatic reduction in oil temperature. The prototype was completed on a 2012 model which also has our Long Tube Headers, Cat Back Exhaust System and Stillen Gen III CAI.

Here are the details...

-34 Row Setrab Series 6 Core.
-Setrab "O ring"-A/N -8 Fittings
-Fast Intentions -8 Aircraft grade stainless steel braided oil lines.
-Non Thermostatic and Thermostatic sandwich adapter options are available. (Thermostatic shown)
-All mounting hardware.
-Installation Instructions.

2012+
--Nissan OEM oil filter stud.
-2 x Rubber caps
-2 x Stainless steel clamps.

*Note: Our -8 stainless steel lines are internally Teflon coated. The benefits of the Teflon coating is that they can handle more pressure and are less susceptible to deterioration over time. The benefit to the braided "crimp style line" is that they have a smaller O.D. (Overall Diameter) than traditional rubber hose or screw on style which means they take up less space and are very flexible.*

If anyone has any questions please feel free to pm, email or call me directly.

Thank you, Tony

Love the included block off plate!

As long as it isn't a leaking oil spewing nightmare like Mishittymoto I will be on board with it! (haven't had much luck with oil coolers) You guys are top notch though. I expect it to work flawlessly!

I already have stillen's setrab 25 row, does it need to be relocated?

Yes. They are using an oil filter relocate as part if the kit. You could use your core, but would need to work out the lines most likely.

I also already had a 34 row cooler. I am just going to pull the entire thing so I can sell it as a unit.

:eek:Instagram That spool....that squat...

Lol....this kit is going to increase underwear prices across the country. Grats you two on clean installs and solid tunes.

There are some pretty different builds left on the slate yet, this will be fun!

PS cy is still a stalker even tho i beat him to it, just sayin'.

Tony,

do you have pricing yet? What is the advantage to cutting out the 12+ stock oil cooler? I have read that it provides some heat to the oil for us cold weather Z owners, Does keeping the stock cooler in the curcit have any detrimental affects?

thanks

The stock 12+ cooler is a waste. It provides almost no value if you have an external cooler. All it does it get in the way, make oil filter changes a pain in the ***, and add weight. It was a pitiful attempt by Nissan.

Even when I had it on, I needed to use a block-off panel over the external cooler during the winter, so I didn't see it adding any benefit of helping bring the oil up to temp.

how does it affect oil changes. Maybe I'm way off but I thought it was all internally contained within the radiator/ block.

Found this post by Z1 awhile ago

As djtodd stated above, the stock 2012+ water/oil cooler is a joke. It is an afterthought and the best way to describe it is "putting a band aid on a gunshot wound"!

I literally just spent the past 10 hours working on the installation instructions. One set of instructions for all models. 2009-2014 and NISMO EDITION as well. We find it much easier to offer the kit only in a 34 row configuration. For the cold weather guys you will want to go with the Thermostatic option. This option will not allow oil to travel through the external cooler until the thermostat opens right around 180* Fahrenheit. For the warmer climate customers we will recommend the Non Thermostatic option.

Pricing will be right around what other companies are offering with similar options. We are using only top tier parts. Setrab Series 6 Cores, Mocal Sandwich Adapters and Teflon Coated "crimp style" Stainless Steel braided lines. No rubber push on or even braided screw on style. The lines are as industrial strength as it gets!

If you have any questions on the kit or would like to place an order, please email or call me directly.

Thank you, Tony

The stock cooler is basically a REALLY crappy oil/water heat exchanger. The part we're talking about eliminating is the small sandwich plate that fits between the block and the oil filter. It's part #1 in this pic.

http://www.the370z.com/members/djtod...oil-cooler.jpg

It's probably about 1" - 1.5" thick.
If you add an external cooler on top of that, there is VERY little clearance when changing the filter. You also can only use the "short" filters, and not some of the taller ones like the bigger Purolator (can remember part#).

I also read that other post. I get that in theory it should help, but having tested an external cooler with and without the stock cooler, it made zero difference in warm up times, etc. That's why many of us use a block-off plate that fits over the external cooler core for the winter. I made mine out of aluminum sheet and industrial velcro. Cost me maybe $10 in material. Others have used something as simple as cardboard. :driving:

The taller Purolator PureONE Filter is #14610

The shorter Purolator PureONE Filter is #14612

Those are some nice XMAS gifts, Great work Tony FI:tiphat::driving:

While installing a turbo kit on the 12+, i would do myself a favor and replace pipe #13 with the 09-11 pipe. They are cheap, I think under $50 from courtesy parts?

This would eliminate the need to block off the forward facing pipe, as it does not have that pipe. Just a little bit cleaner is all. Plus, while it is off, you can cut off and weld shut the throttle coolant barb. To eliminate the other end of the throttle coolant, you can pull out the press-in barb on the aluminum rear coolant outlet housing. A 1/8 NPT tap fits in the hole. Put in a stainless 1/8 plug. This is what I did to eliminate the throttle coolant in my car without doing a messy bypass hose. (bypass hose is also allowing some water to bypass radiator after thermostat is fully open, slightly reducing cooling system efficiency)

Doing it this way would be a clean and easy way to cleanup all the coolant line mess. Tested and proven setup in my car for over 2 years daily driven, even in sub zero weather. For a 09-11 this takes care of it. For the 12+ you still need the fast intentions supplied blockoff plate and whatever fittings to attach oil cooler plate in replacement to stock heat exchanger.

Djtodd & Phunk

thanks for the information. So if I'm reading the diagram right you can go all out as Phunk said or could you just just connect tube #9 inlet and outlet ends to themselves and be fine? Dj what route did you go with?

thanks guys. If you reply maybe just PM, don't really want to highjack a TT FI thread for oil cooling:ugh2:

I can only imagine what you guys can do for a GTR....Hint, hint!:tup:

You already have turbos, now shoo! :shakes head:

Well, you would technically loop the front of pipe 12 to the front of pipe 13 to bypass the heat exchanger. But I wouldnt recommend that because its a large coolant "leak". You really want to eliminate the flow all together.

It looks like Fast Intentions is supplying a blockoff plate to eliminate pipe 12, and a plug for probably the front of pipe 13. I am not sure if thats with their turbo kit or oil cooler kit or what not, i havent been reading enough.

But it's not Tony's work...:tup:

Imagine popping open the hood on a 2015 and seeing "Engine hand-built by Tony. Yeah, THAT Tony."
