Thread: Exhaust Mods: This looks the go

$1500 is ridiculous for an oil cooler which, again, your engine already has.
Get the coolant running at lower temps and your oil and fuel temperatures will follow.

But, as you say, at least he's honest enough to tell you that a 2.2 diesel doesnt need a 3" exhaust. Tuned up 4.2 1HD Toyotas are a different story

I wonder how the stainless will go with cracking from fatigue.

D2's were stainless. No cracking.

Just a point of interest... my 2.2 ranger is full flow through...no muffler ... and it is not noisy....I don't see why a defender would be any different......save a lot of money.

That's what you're looking at.

Where is the original oil cooler?

He has run the figures re temp on the 2.2 with this system and where without, temp was around 108 deg, fitted, oil and water temps both dropped to low 90s.
Approx $1500 fitted, so this may be of benifit down the road.
He could have told me anything and sold me the exhaust system, but he didn't, to his credit.
An ethical retailer!
Good on him.

With my mods i run coolant temp of 88-91 averageand oil temp of around 102 according to ultra gauge. I also run low egts according to my probe installed pre turbo.

Beery is 100% spot on!

If you zoom in on that picture, you'll see a plate type heat exchanger on top of the oil filter housing and the coolant hose spigots.

I can't see an 'oilstat' (thermostat) anywhere amongst those components. Uncontrolled oil flow through the cooler would delay oil warmup by a lot, not such a problem in constantly warm climates. Cold weather could cause problems though.

The OEM built in water cooled oil cooler is controlled by its own seperate thermostat.






From the workshop manual:

"Oil Filter and Cooler Assembly
The oil filter and cooler assembly is attached to the LH side of the skirt stiffener and consists a full-flow, disposable
canister-type filter and an oil cooler attached to a casting. The casting aligns with the oil galleries in the skirt stiffener and
is sealed by a gasket.
The engine cooling system cools the oil in the oil cooler and is regulated by means of a separate thermostat, which
prevents the flow of coolant through the oil cooler when the engine is cold, ensuring the engine oil warms up quickly. The
thermostat opens at 75?2 ?C (167?35 ?F).
Oil to and from the oil cooler passes through galleries in the skirt stiffener. Hoses from the engine cooling system are
connected to 2 pipes on the oil cooler for the supply and return of coolant."

Beery, well presented mate!!!

It's amazing how many think they can out engineer a problem which doesn't exist..

An example - Kens rig has done 100k without a problem, TDCis here used for hauling goods rain hail or shine daily have done 350k plus without issue and they are loaded all day, everyday doing the run from Adelaide to Port Lincoln and back in all temperatures.
