I'll add you to the list if I don't use it. Should probably use Andrew's original list though too.
I actually think this kit may be much more beneficial to auto N54s than manual ones. As your oil temps aren't super high on track Vinney I'm guessing it's either the water or tranny fluid that's causing the limp. I believe the N54's auto is similar/same as an XR6/XR6 Turbo Falcon's? What do the guys who tune these turbo monsters do to negate overheating their autos/water? |

I think it comes down to MT v AT on the N54. I'm certain the AT are generating a lot more heat which is the underlying issue. |

with regards the "Close Mesh Core" option from PWR, we are yet to confirm that it does in fact have "downsides for a daily driver", it may end up being quite ok for the commute to work and an excellent upgrade, when the car is being raced at the track. The complete custom cooling system Peter will do for his 335i is not something he is looking to market as a product. It will be done to his specifications and requirements and it will cost what it costs, without cutting any corners. As such if there are no customers that are prepared to go down a similar road, I do not think he will lose any sleep over it. Lastly the mounting brackets are being powder coated as we speak, pics of the complete Stage 2 kit in its full glory to come soon. Cheers, JD.

But, I think where it states 'activation codes on CD' it means that you need FSC codes to be able to code it all. If you didnt get this cd than it is unlikely to work. |

As I see it, engine gets hot, notifies the control unit of the degree of hotness who then feeds a (0-5V / 0-12V?) signal to the (600 or 850w) fan which then spins/spins faster as suggested by the DME until the temp sensor tells the system that things have cooled down. The worst I can see happening here without recoding is that with the 850w fan, things may cool down a little more rapidly than the DME wanted. Last edited by TimMc; 05-07-2012 at 01:50 AM.. |

I know it seems straight forward but after having fiddled with certain modules in my previous bmw, I can tell you that its never easy. Basically, if you installed the new fan without the new wiring I dare say it will throw codes as the behavior of the unit will be different from stock. |

It's a straight swap, as the fans use PWM for speed control, not voltage. This means if the car says run @ 20% it will be 20% of possible power. 100% will be 100% of possible.
If it were voltage, it wouldn't be plug and play |

I'm not sure why it couldn't be plug & play if it used a variable voltage input for speed control (feeding a transistor fed by the supplied beefier relay), but as stated above, this is well beyond my field of expertise. Pulse width modulation sounds like it would be much more precise than voltage modulation though. The only issue I could foresee is that, if the car "knew" through coding that it had an 850w fan instead of a 600w unit, it may decide in a certain situation that it only needed say 80% of the 850w unit's speed rather than 100% of the 600w's. I don't see this as a biggee though, it will just cool things down a little faster. |

Advan's stage 1 oil cooler kit turned up at work today. Very nicely packaged in a big box. Too big for me to fit in the car as had my track tyres in the back & needed to pick the GF with luggage up from the airport. All looks good though Pete & Justin, thanks. I'll check it all out next week & research installing. How hard can it be... I'm gonna have the coolest N54 in Brisbane!

I am happy to hear your Stage 1 kit arrived safely and in good order. Once again our apologies for the delay, unfortunately the laser cutting of the bracket components and subsequent powder coating took a lot longer than originally expected. With regards fitment, the Stage 1 kit is really quite simple and will not require the removal of the front bar. Feel free to call the workshop next week and either Peter or "young" Chris will be able to give you some pointers, on the steps required for installation. Cheers, Justin. |

Hi Gents,
in lieu of the less than spectacular interest in our group buy and an unforeseen increase in component costs, we will no longer be offering either our Stage 1 or Stage 2 oil cooler kits at the previously advertised GB pricing. The kits will still be availble for purchase, however they will now be sold at a yet to be determined retail price. We will also require payment in full, prior to assembling any kits for shipment in the future. Thanking you, Justin. |

Justin, is there any reports from the discussions with Peter regarding 1M cooling? Especially following Zuzu's visit.
Thanks. |

I'm keen to see how it pans out and then possibly look at getting something custom made up. |

to be honest I had not given it any further thought, as the Stage 1 kit is still on my car. When I have bought all the Stage 2 components and I'm ready to do the upgrade I will let you know. Cheers, JD. |

I had a good look the front bar of Joe's 1M last week, based on what I saw we really need to have a 1M up on the hoist with the FR wheel arch splash liner removed, before we could make any conclusions regarding fitment of our oil cooler kits. However I am told Joe has a mate who also has a 1M and he has purchased an oil cooler kit for his car. Now I do not know anything about the kit itself, but he wants Advan to install it, so that does give us the opportunity to confirm what revisions we would have to make to our kits to ensure they're 1M friendly. Apparently the car will be at the workshop within the next 2 weeks, so we should have some solid info on fitment shortly. |
