INA, you guys rock. in a month (and a few days), there's a bonus I'm getting with your name on it. FINALLY, a company who made something I talked with them about!!!! :thumbup

But in May, I'm in for the cover, and full relocation kit.

Thank You so much for the support.

With the permission of Josh@NLS I am going to copy and paste a review he did on our kit. Josh I appreciate the time and patience you took to write this post. Again Thanks!

INA stage 2 oil cooler install.

pros-
-over all INA oil kit is very nice. high quaility parts, good setup and fits well.
cons-
-need new O-rings for the cooler seal-not included
-need to have a plug for the coolant tube off of the Tstat housing-not included

instrutions on what i did.
-almost a must to remove the bumper to do it.
-need a 10 triple box

remove the Tstat outer housing tube and upper hose.
unbolt oem cooler with 4 #10 triple box bolts, unclamp hose from tsat housing. remove and throw as far as you can away from the car(jk)(kinda)


i cut the hose short from the Tstat housing to the cooler and plugged it, since it is no longer used.


put plugged hose back on. and clean up the housing before you install the INA plate


use thread sealer or tape and thread in fittings into the INA plate.
bolt on plate with new o-rings onto the OEM filter housing.


install hose onto 90* fittings and make sure you have no clinks or rubbing on the hose.


reinstall the Tsat housing with new oring.
when done under the intake...it should look like this.


run the lines on each side or the rad support, i trimmed a bit of the support and ran them where the rebar is.


i used 90* fittings again one facing each way....


tucked the cooler under the bummper rebar a hiar, drilled 2 holes in the lower support and bolted down the cooler with 2 smaller bolts.



put bumper back on, make sure the hoses arent in any way of fans or the ground or kinked and that's about it.

Now that's what I like to see!

i have the derale 51906 high pressure stacked oil cooler i bought for my old dsm but never used. would that be fine to use with the stage 1? other question being it didnt look like nls used the inline thermostat, and i also was wondering where the straight an fittings come into play? do i need an inline thermostat is the real question.

1. How many row is the oil cooler?
2. Stage 1 is just the plate for the DIY'ers. Whether you will be fine or not is something we can not judge
3. Inline Thermostat is always recommended.

the derale is 19row and i have another same size but .5" thicker and that one is a 25row.
i also have a meziere inline thermostat. can i use that? i just can not figure out how i would run it tho.

Never used the Meziere unit so I cant comment on it but the Mocal units has (4) 10-AN channels on it. 2 are from the engine and 2 are for the oil cooler core so when the thermostat is closed oil circulates through the adapter plate thermostat loop and when the thermostat is opened oil circulates from the adapter plate straight through the core.

Really have not had time to verify this for you.
If I get time this weekend I will.

still waiting

[INA]

still waiting

Sorry really been extremely swamped with other work. Projects like this usually get on the back burner....we know we said we would do it over the weekend but when the weekend came I had to take care of customers who couldnt visit me during the week due to work constraints.

@OP

Isaam, thank you for continued commitment to this engine! I was originally going to try to adapt a Mishimoto external oil cooler but heard through Fred that INA already made one for us. I am in dire need of help because while idling, my oil temp can soar to 220F-240F and the car will start smoking quite badly (enough to engulf the car) out of the exhaust if it idles for longer than just a few minutes. And even while cruising with constant airflow going over the car, oil temps can still exceed 220F. The car is only good for short trips. Its spoiling my relationship with it a bit. The car was purchased in Jan 07 and it just rolled over 12K miles. I rely on my 2010 Golf 2.5 as my daily. The Rabbit just sits pretty much all the time

Enough about me, I had a few questions and things I wanted clarified. Stage 1 is just the diversion plate but stage 2 & 3 include an external oil cooler, correct? Is this oil cooler in addition to the stock unit or a replacement for it? And is there a way to mount it wherever I have room instead of the stock location? My engine bay is a bit cramped as you can see:

Sweet rabbit! Love it!

Ok

1. Correct about Stage 1 , 2 and 3
2. No its a replacement . No stock crap is used (just the housing on Stage 1 and 2)
3. put it infront of the driver side tyre

Hope that helps

[_V-Dubber_]

Sure theres enough room? lol

[DrivenAllDay]

It may sit all the time, but at least it's fun to look at

[kevin FaKiN spLits]

You can make it work. if not you can integrate it into the skid plate with a piece of mesh under it to protect the fins. You will have to support it pretty well, but itll work because of the ducts and you can cut some closer to the front. NLS did a similar thing on the R32 they are building for Lap of America.

[INA]

I am sure you can find room somewhere for that core. Put it on top of the intercooler

[kevin FaKiN spLits]

pm'd you about price with orings, for stage 1. srry have been busy getting the car ready for autox and maybe a few track days, not sure tho.lol Oh and what is the temp rating on the mocal tstat? Im guessing is 180*. And one more ? does it run a 90-10 ratio like when closed 90% bypass's the cooler but 10% still flows to keep consistant pressure? Im not to familiar with mocal t stats..Lol thanks man
