If any of you want a nice stock oil Evo cooler, you'll be glad to know that the Evo one fits the Ralliart engine perfectly.

All you'll need is the oil cooler itself, which is around $300 new. The two tubes and eyebolts, the two brackets, and the oil filter assembly. The only difference is that the Evo oil filter assembly has the outlets for the oil cooler on it and a built in thermostat valve to allow the engine to warm up fast, but fits to the block in exactly the same way and place as the Ralliart one. I'll be installing mine with my AWD system, and the RRM Turbo.

For now here are the shop manual comparisions:

nice work Diavlo, how is the UK's only 4G69 Lancer (and possibly only anywhere one thats AWD) going?

 

Nearly ready! Got a garage full of AWD parts now, just got to finish a few niggles from a recent engine swap project on a different car (My good friend Carl's this time) and we'll begin.

 

Diavlo ive been meaning to ask you, how did you get the engine cover in black like that?

 

Dont laugh... but it was BBQ primer and BBQ paint... Yup... paint intended for a BBQ! Turned out good!

 

no way bro...damn it does look nice, i thought i could purchase it somewhere. so how did u avoid the mivec when painting...have any tips bro?

 

I know this is an old thread but im no good at reading so what parts exactly are needed? it says up top whats needed but will you be making a How To on this?

 

To avoid the MIVEC on the cover, put candlewax over the raised lettering. The paint wont stick to it and it can be wiped off afterwards!

As for the Oil Cooler, the main part you need is the oil filter bracket assembly. Which has the holes for the oil in and out in it. Then You need the two oil lines and the oil cooler, along with all the eye bolts and brackets.

 

so with this we don't get the fancy fast warm up the evo gets but it still cools the oil?

damn man, great research thanks alot , your inovation, research and documentation is a great resource.

ill prob need help with this later on but for now i can dream

 

Nah the oil cooler comes with a thermostat & bypass valve in the oil filter housing for fast warm up.
