Pwr oil cooler

Me too. I’ve been trying to get this project done for 2 years!!!

Next will be heat exchanger for the s/c coolant
 
If the oil cooler sells well I bet they will
 
Them safety shoes on point. Cooler looks really robust

Heck yea. My slippers are legit.

I was so excited to get the box open I forgot to polish my nails lol!
 
That oil drain is a huge letdown. I'm not sure about all the ADD front bumpers, but the Bomber variant does not let you remove the dune guard without completely removing the bumper. A drain valve like Valvomax is the only good solution to preventing the inside of the dune guard from getting coated in oil. Why couldn't they make the thread pitch the same as the factory plug?
 
Idk, but I doubt aftermarket bumpers were their primary concern.

When I get a chance I’ll see if I can get the plug size and thread and you can see if there is a drain valve that fits.

Or you could always drill it and tap it. Just would need to make sure you get any shavings out

Yeah I run a fumoto drain valve on miy oil cooler. Thread size would be great. I’d order another fumoto. Things make oil changes easy peezy
 
Yea i was thinking about fitment with ADD stealth bomber bumper with front winch its quite tight. Also it flips the oil cooler in an odd position that prevent draining oil cooler ever! Perhaps having test fitment with those bumpers and doing an upside down drain plug with a value switch would be awesome. In a way we can connect a hose and crack open the valve for maximum drainage without making a mess!!
 
The good news is the guys at PWR are waaaaaay more forgiven and flexible than I am.
I passed the word on about everyone’s request for fujimoto etc valve installation.
I gave them the thread size for the factory plug (they already had it, but I also had the package sitting in a box)

He said it shouldn’t be a problem to make the coolers with oem thread spec so those who want a valve can use it.

I compared the oem to the pwr cooler and they are just about identical in size. The pwr end tanks are bigger, and the heat exchanger on the pwr is slightly bigger because of the type of cooler they use. Where the oem has a transition area where there is no cooler, the pwr heat exchanger goes all the way to the tank.

I spoke on the phone with Tyler and he said the core they used is a lot more efficient than the factory one. So that should be good.

He said come summer if the oem fitment one can’t keep up with those of us hammering in the desert or really really abusing things, building a stepped cooler or doing a fan shouldn’t be a problem.

I’m pretty excited. I have a good drive tomorrow that will give me a good idea about sustained heat generation. Then a trip in a week and a half or so to hammer off-road. It’s still in the 50’s and 60’s so climate is friendly, but especially on tomorrows sustained rpm event, where I’m normally 240-250, I will be able to see if this new cooler has a decent effect.

Looking forward to seeing the results!
 
Interested in this as well, wonder if they are going to put them back on the site or working on pricing?
 
Did a drive to the kids Kung Fu this late morning. I did the same drive 2 weeks ago in 57° weather and got the following

Oem engine oil cooler
Sample ECT. EOT. Ambient
1). 199°. 197°. 57°
2) 206°. 217°. 57°

PWR oil cooler

1) 197°. 176°. 63°


Now granted there are things like air density, humidity, driving style (although all 3 were driving in regular town traffic below 48 mph on the same roads going to the same place) but that was a huge drop. I’m driving past the same spot in a couple hours and then off for a freeway drive
