Billet oil cooler plate.
I'll do my best to keep this updated if people are interested? I'll be building my gearbox up soon so I'll be able to add pics of that through the various stages.

Thanks for the kind words mate, appreciate it.
Keep the updates coming! I love a proper build and something that is done yourself and that isnt just slapping a turbo/itb's on an engine!

I don't like it. 😂

This was born out of a distinct hatred towards itbs mate. Lol! Don't get me wrong, I appreciate what they do, but they're also like arseholes. Everyone has them.
Cheers mate. You do know someone that can do stuff like this. Me! :wink:

Nice, is that a Modine same as the cup cars? Which box you using? You sticking with a jc5 or you picked up a Sadev now?
NorthloopCup
ClioSport Moderator
No mate not a modine. It's going to be feeding my laminova oil cooler.
Yeah sticking with the jc5 mate. Got no interest in the Sadev at all. They're either fucked, in need of rebuilds or overpriced. Just going to fit the Meg 5th gear to give it a bit more zing and also reduce the top speed. Having done 174mph in my mk3 astra, I have no desire to hit 150mph in a Clio. Lol

Can a Laminova heat exchanger be used to warm the oil more quickly?
NorthloopCup
ClioSport Moderator
Lol! No worries mate I'll try my best.
Yeah it can be mate. That's why you don't run a thermostatic sandwich plate with the laminova as well.

interesting...off to the laminova site!

You'll wince when you see the price!!

Ok, so little bit of an update and a few pics!
Here's the laminova that I'll be using to keep the oil cool. Really trick bits of kit tbh.
Next up we have a jc5 in kit form!! Hope you lot know where everything goes, because I'm fucked if I do! Lol!
Here's a shot of the freshly painted gearbox casing. Same colour as the block.
I'm sure the bits will find their way in there somehow. :wink:
Here's what happens when you drive like a stick 'n' arse - it f***s the dog teeth on the gears.
Not the best pic I know, but you can see where the points are rounded off. Synchro's are fine it's just these teeth that wear! £££'s to replace as well.
Here's something to keep the power in check! Quaife LSD.
And finally, well the pic says it all!
More to come.

Very nice Mark, are you keeping standard ratios?
NorthloopCup
ClioSport Moderator
Thanks. Yeah 1st to 4th are the staying the same but I'm running a meg 5th gear. Final drive is staying standard as well.
Whats the 2nd and 3rd? :/
NorthloopCup
ClioSport Moderator
Gear ratios? Standard mate jc5 129 mate. It's not all that clear in my reply looking back.
Haha sorry thought you had said 1st and 4th... Been a long day mate.

ClioSport Moderator
Lol! No worries mate - I know the feeling!!
Looks great, bet you can't wait to get this to the 'Ring!

ClioSport Moderator
Cheers Tim. I'm trying not to think about that! Lol! Sub 8:15 is still the target though, but in 2015 I'm not sure unfortunately.

ClioSport Moderator
Flol!The oil won't stay in this box mate.
You may have gears in a box but it doesn't make it a gearbox. 😂😂
Thank me later.
NorthloopCup
ClioSport Moderator
Thanks. It's all just a bit of fun tbh. I like to do things differently too. If it was all out N/A performance I was after I'd have to choose itb's, but that's not the aim with this for me.
Thanks! I try my best!

that laminova looks smaller than I thought it would be, expected something 30cm or so for some reason.
that box in bits looks worriying, you gonnan assemble that yourself?
do the R3 pistons/rods do anything with the rod ratio?

That is the smallest laminova mocal do mate. It was originally used on my Astra Quaife straight cut gearbox. It used to have overheating issues from anything over 150-160mph and this cooler was boss of the job!!
Box in bits is no drama tbh mate. It's been stripped down like that for well over 12 months though. Lol!
Nah rod ratios are the same as standard mate on R3 maxi. Not sure if it's the same on maxi evo, but I think it is.
Love the Laminova. I had a look into them a while back. But the prices put me back towards a normal Mocal oil cooler.
@Ant_Smiggy you'll love this p**n.

Made a start on the gearbox today. Waiting on 4th gear arriving ( on back order) so there's not really much else I can do other than knock a bearing race on to the pinion end of the mainshaft. The bearing collar for 4th gear on the top of the shaft has now been fitted properly too. Gave myself a there there after I clouted my finger between the hammer and punch so bid it b****cks for the day after that. Lol!
@Phase1sr one for you this!

Gearbox nearly finished now. :nomouth:
Ok, so maybe that's not a jc5, but it's as equally unreliable. Lol! Got a full strip and refresh to do on this, then refit it. 9hrs of fun. I thank you.
In jc5 129 news I'm waiting on back order parts to arrive overnight from Tokyo. Allegedly. So nothing to report for the time being.
Engine will be being fitted the first week in May all being well. Dependant on the outcome of the gearbox parts arrival that is...............
Fuel line and oil cooler hoses are being ordered tomorrow, no wait, today even so should see them on Tuesday. Speedflow sexiness.
