Fitment

Description

Keep your FA20 happy on street and track. The Tomioka Racing Temperature-Controlled Oil Cooler Kit is engineered for the 2015–2021 Subaru WRX (FA20DIT) to stabilize oil temps, preserve viscosity under boost, and add confidence on spirited drives, canyon runs, and HPDE days.

Why it works

  • Thermostatic control (~180°F start-to-open): OEM-like warm-up, then automatic routing through the cooler as temps rise (fully open ~190–195°F).
  • High-efficiency stacked-plate core: Excellent heat rejection with low pressure drop when paired with the included -AN lines.
  • Vehicle-specific brackets: Clean, repeatable fitment and reliable airflow to the core.
  • Motorsport-grade plumbing: Heat- and oil-resistant lines and swivel fittings simplify routing and service.

Real-world benefits

  • More stable oil temps: Helps prevent heat-soak spikes during back-to-back pulls and long climbs.
  • Protects bearings & turbo: Keeps viscosity in the sweet spot so the FA20 can take abuse without breaking a sweat.
  • Daily-drivable: Thermostat bypasses the core when cold—no overcooling in winter.

What’s included

  • Thermostatic sandwich plate (start-to-open ~180°F)
  • High-efficiency stacked-plate oil cooler core
  • Vehicle-specific mounting brackets & hardware
  • Braided -AN10 oil lines with fittings
  • Installation guide

Fitment

  • Subaru WRX 2015–2021 (FA20DIT)
  • Does not fit STI EJ models.
  • Compatible with stock or most aftermarket intakes and front bumpers; check airflow path and component clearance.

Installation notes

  • Estimated time: 2–3 hours with common hand tools.
  • Prime the lines and check for leaks after the first heat cycle.
  • Mount where the core gets clean, direct airflow; re-check fittings after initial hard pulls.

Why 180°F instead of 200°F?

Earlier engagement keeps FA20 oil in the ideal operating range during load. A 200°F thermostat simply delays flow to the cooler, often raising steady-state temperatures without adding peak cooling capacity.

Good to know

  • Idling: Oil temps can rise when parked—any air-to-oil cooler needs vehicle airflow to reject heat.
  • Track use: For hot climates or extended sessions, prioritize ducting and unobstructed airflow.

FAQ

Will this overcool my WRX in winter?
Not with the thermostatic plate. It bypasses the core until ~180°F, so warm-up remains normal and the cooler only engages as needed.
Why not use a 200°F thermostat?
A 200°F plate delays cooling and typically raises steady-state temps. The ~180°F start-to-open strikes the best balance for mixed street/track use.
Do I need tuning after installation?
No tuning is required. This kit manages oil temperature and does not alter ECU calibration.
What temperatures should I expect?
Most cars see roughly 185–215°F in mixed driving and 210–240°F in hot weather or spirited runs, depending on airflow and mounting.
Any special maintenance?
Check line/fitting tightness after the first few heat cycles and at each oil change. Replace lines if damaged and keep the core fins clean.

International and Special Shipping Considerations

  • International orders are subject to higher shipping fees. If you would like to review your shipping cost, email us at sales@jdmuscleusa.com with your full address and items you plan to purchase.
  • In some cases, shipping costs may be incorrectly calculated for international or oversized items. We reserve the right to adjust the shipping fee and will work with you to negotiate a fair cost if needed.
  • Customers can challenge and request a review of international shipping fees, and we’ll do our best to find a lower rate where possible.
  • Customs Fees & Import Taxes: The shipping charge you pay does not include customs fees or import taxes. These charges vary by country and are the customer’s responsibility. Please check with your local customs office for more details before placing an order.
  • Shipping Cost Adjustments: Shipping rates fluctuate, and while we strive to provide the most competitive rates, there may be instances where the shipping cost you paid is significantly lower than the actual cost. In such cases, we reserve the right to request the difference to ensure we cover our basic expenses. We appreciate your understanding and will always aim to keep shipping costs as affordable as possible.

Freight Shipping Guidelines

  • Freight shipments require you to be present at the time of delivery.
  • The delivery driver may provide a delivery receipt (Bill of Lading). It is crucial to inspect the shipment before signing.
  • Carefully check the packaging for any visible damage (dents, punctures, rips) and notate it on the Bill of Lading.
  • Open the package and inspect the product itself. If damage is found, document it in detail on the Bill of Lading, take photos, and contact the shipping company to initiate a damage claim.
  • Do not refuse the shipment. Contact us at sales@jdmuscleusa.com for guidance.
  • If the delivery driver is unable to wait for inspection, note this on the Bill of Lading.

Failure to document damages before signing the Bill of Lading will void any claims for refunds or replacements.
