Always doing something different. Nothing was wrong with the Evolve core, I barely had it for about....6-7 months?
That seems about right for the amount of time before I get tired of something....lol
I mean ****, I have badass RE-30 in Mag Blue and I'm already tired of them! And I've had those less than 2 months!

Chris is a great guy and has sponsored my build with his amazingly badass turbo oil cooler kit. Many know Sneed for his track ready parts and it was a no brainer to reach out to Chris to see what he would be able to offer me. Well, I'm very glad to have this kit as it has been on my radar for a long time.
It'll be here sometime next week after I've rebuild everything else, but I'll have to let'er sit for a bit as I wait for this kit to come in. Makes no sense to top off and then have to drain again to top off once more after adding this! It will add another 1 quart of oil to the kit from the stock oil, so if anyone gets this kit, keep that in mind!

Nothing wrong with that John. You have seen the changes in Tackleberry as the time has gone by. I am on my third and final set of wheels (OZ Ultraleggeras). I finally have the look I was going for and I really like these wheels.

Actually about 2/3 pokes above the bumper. But yes, it's not fully open to air. When compared to the silly OEM block of aluminum that is a heat exchanger, the oil cooler will provide plenty of cooling effect. There's a reason Chris went with a larger core than you see some race Minis use.

Well, you guys will like it. It's another sponsor, so until I see the unit, I won't say just yet.

Do you think some of us upgrading to that oil cooler linked would perhaps curb oil consumption a little bit? I ask because there is a lot of vapors floating around when I shut off my engine, if I could keep the oil cooler shouldn't that keep the oil from burning off through the PCV system?
Feedback appreciated!

I will probably have Arric recoat it this fall when they do the built engine. The only OEM heat shield I put back on was the one behind the down pipe. Going to try running without them. While it maybe overkill, I also put WMW turbo blanket on. If I have issues with heat I may try the Alta version that goes over the header as well.
Have you put any thought into 2.5" vs 3" exhaust? Curious to find out how the e45hp responds to a larger exhaust.

Yeah the coatings are really nice! I had my ARDesign dp coated when I purchased, but its flaking off already I will probably have Arric recoat it this fall when they do the built engine.

The iPE is a 2.4" exhaust so it's plenty big. And it's a high-flow catless downpipe so I don't think I'll have any issue there. Any bigger and I'll get too much attention from the cops and probably wouldn't hear the end of it from the fiancee. Lucky enough it's valvetronic so I can turn it off and on whenever I want
I would be done today, but with the intercooler shipping and the oil cooler just shipping, I'm waiting on those before we do too much and then have to backtrack.
