Oil cooler Recommendations + Fast Intentions Vs Z1?

south · 04-12-2021, 07:54 PM

I was wondering if theres anyone running the fast intentions 34 row oil cooler? I’ve heard some people run them and not anything bad to say, but i also want to compare it to z1’s oil cooler kit? Is there any reason why the 25 row oil cooler is the same price as the F.I. 34 row? I know that they are both setrab cores. I just want to know if there is any significant difference, or just some reviews from both sides so i know where putting my money is the best.

I used the FI kit, twice. Everything is included and you get the best quality braided lines with Teflon inserts and crimped fittings. No comparison to the Z1 kit. Yes, it is that much better in my opinion.

The only thing the Z1 kit has over the FI kit is the size of the hoses. Z1 uses -10. The FI kit uses -8.

They don't have to be as large with the Teflon inserts. These lines will last for years.

No info on the FI cooler but just installed the 25 row Z1 cooler like 5 days ago and it runs great, hasn't gone past 180. Been checking everyday for leaks or issues and none, best mod so far.

Been running a FI 34 row for 3 years with no issues. Recently did a run out in the mountains with another 370z, his was stock (so OEM oil cooler),After about an hour driving up the mountain roads we pulled over and compared oil temps, mine was 88c his was 118c with ambient air temps 19c.

I have the 34 row Z1 cooler. Been using it since 2012. No issues with it.

Z1 cooler since 2015. Same as Rusty, not a single issue.

Oil coolers are pretty straight forward. All use a Setrad coolers and then add their own hoses and what not. I have not heard of any issues with Stillen or those that make their own from a Setrad core that is if they don't do stupid.

I had a FI 34 row cooler that worked great and I sold it to Madwi and it is still going strong. I know it is about seven years old. I run a 72 row that was built by Seb at SpecialtyZ. Why because I like things that are big and black LMAO!

Running a 34-row Setrab setup from ConceptZPerformance . About $50 cheaper than Z1 and also uses -10 hoses and fittings.

I've had the Z1 34 row cooler for about 2 years with no problems. I've run the car real hard in hot and humid condition's with no issues.
