man, i kinda want an evo again...ugh

Just get one, buy another bby one.

I wouldn't even try to re-use/clean an oil cooler from a motor that put any shavings into the oil. It can be an expensive part of a new motor build to get a new oil cooler from Mitsu or build an aftermarket setup, unless you are lucky to find a used one that you are 100% sure came from a clean running motor.

Excactly why I bought a used one from a good motor, I didnt want to spend 600 from the dealership and I needed one asap so I found someone local that is switching to an aftermarket one. This engine was way to expensive to take the chance on an oil cooler that I cleaned out.

Smart move not re-using it. Re-using a spun bearing victim oil cooler is a great way to burn some money without actually setting it on fire.

So in that case, if it gets that embeded into the components to the point that you can't clean it out without being able to "scrub" it, do you also replace the oil filter housing, the pick-up screen, the oil-pump, catch-can and all lines, valve cover, the dip stick tube? Where does it end?

[Shane@DBPerformance]

You take all of the plugs out of the oil filter housing and clean it. Sometimes you can clean the pickup screen, sometimes you replace it. You normally change the oil pump with any rebuild. Catch-can shouldn't put oil back into the motor. Hopefully shavings aren't in the valve cover baffles, you atleast clean it. Dipstick tube is easy to clean. So kinda yes. It's just not easy to clean an oil cooler or know if it's clean and it's not worth destroying a motor over it.

The cost of an aftermarket oil cooler setup is always cheaper then motor damage. What size exhaust housing is that? Nice setup.

Just got a txt from mike....his ignition is breaking up, but he made ~430whp @ 17psi on RS's mustang dyno. 'full boost' (lol) hits at 4350rpm.

Ya I need to invest into spark tech or some type of other ignition setup. We only took her up to 7000 also. Still plenty of power to be made on pump. The just rips now.
