GReddy is proud to announce the production of some much need products for hard driving Evolution X, with two new
Circuit Spec Cooler Kits. The V-mounted
SST (MR -
twin clutch transmission) and
Engine Oil Coolers increase the efficiency of the OEM coolers, by increasing the fluid capacity and cooling surface area, while controlling and improving air-flow to the cores.
The factory SST transmission found on Evolution X MR are known to trigger a "Safety" limp mode when the internal fluid hits
140C
(284F,) which is not difficult to do during hard driving.
The
GReddy SST Cooler Kit uses an additional independent system with it's own compact
160l/hr pump for superior cooling. It is easily installed by connecting to the existing fluid "Filler" and "Drain" ports on the transmission case.
(NO machining required.) The V-mount arrangement is mounted in the front left inner fender under the factory unit (
and to fit it, it also includes a new aluminum I/C outlet piping.) Another benefit, is that vital areas, like the Radiator, are not covered. The kit also includes carefully designed Inlet and Splitter Ducting to evenly divide and control airflow through both the GReddy and OEM cores, while the Outlet Ducting helps increases flow. The V-mounted
12row (-08) GReddy core takes advantage of the airflow under the vehicle to draw out even more air through the core (
,while the stock core has to fight with the air turbulence of the spinning wheel in the wheel well.) Also included are precise patterns for trimming of the under liner.
Tested at Tsukuba Circuit, Japan, with one test driver, and two identical CZ4A Evolution X s with SST transmissions.
After about 16min of circuit driving, the factory equipped car reads 140C and the ECU engages a 2000RPM limiter.
The GReddy equipped Evo, drove on for 30min, without any adverse effects to performance.
Mounted in a symmetrical configuration as our SST Cooler the
GReddy Circuit Spec Engine Oil Cooler Kit mounts in the right inner fender under the factory core. Like our other Circuit spec kits this V-mounted
14row (-10) core uses our signature inner fin technology for high efficiency. This greatly helps improve the durability of the engine oil and in turn the life of the engine. The kit adapts to the factory cooler and routes the oil in series, for an simple install. The kit also features carefully crafted Inlet, Splitter, and Outlet Air Ducting to increase flow to and through both the GReddy and factory coolers. Light-weight Nylon-braided hose add to the upgrades on this kit; as does the necessary trimming patterns for a perfect fit.
Tested at Tsukuba Circuit, Japan, with one test driver, and two identical CZ4A Evolution Xs with SST transmissions (1 Stock, and 1 with both GReddy Circuit Spec Coolers.)
The GReddy equipped Evo show consistent
engine oil temperatures in the 90-100C range, even under hard circuit driving.
While the factory car showed already showed over 130C (266F) engine oil temp., when the SST triggered the safety mode at 14min.
* Both kits can work with OEM fog-lights, with air ducting trimming.
* GReddy SST cooler can be activated by a manual switch or by the GReddy MSS (Multi Switching System.)
Another quick product update. Late last week we received our new 4-color GReddy License Plate Frames. Now avaiable on our Online -Store. Check out the new revised design...
This week's GPP quickie blog entry tells of a product update announcement. As the older Type RS Blow-off valves get phased out we will now upgraded new incoming Type-RS Blow-off Valve Kits with the most current Type-RZ Blow-off Valve.
There has been a lot new updates going on over here at GPP, but news of what we have been working on will soon be out. So it's kind of the quiet before the storm here in the States. (Sorry for the lack of normal blog updates recently) So in the meantime, we thought we would show a little update from our R&D offices in Japan. We are not sure if these particular parts will be adaptable to the USA spec vehicles yet, so well just have to wait and see, but this late model NC Miata is getting the full Total Tune-Up treatment: Aero, Exhaust Systems, Oil Coolers, Suspension, Brake work and now a V-mounted Intercooler and low mount Turbo kit.
This week's GPP Thursday Quickie, is more of a reminder. We are very close to the launch of our new www.GReddy.com in early June (maybe even next week!) But to make it better we need your help with some more user photos. In exchange for using your photo, we will send you a free GReddy Key-chain. For more details and specifics please see our two previous post on the subject...

In addition to the introduction of our new Evo X SST trans cooler, also have a great cooling system for the DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission) found on the R35 GTR
It features our famous Blue (inner-fin) large 13row core mounted in front fender. It also includes a FRP divided air duct, similar to the OEM unit on the other side of the car for maximum cooling.
Installation is easy thanks to specialized GReddy R35 trans oil block. The internal thermostat insures quick fluid warm-up and consistent oil temps, and does not tax the standard coolant system.
Carefully designed light-weight -14 hard-lines & braided-lines allow for a minimal routing lengths and maximum flow. Completing the kit are all the necessary mounts, hose fitting and 3 piece billet flanges with o-rings.
Also available as an option, is our GReddy R35 Window Washer Tank option. This is ideal to keep you window washer working even with use of either our DCT or front-mounted Intercooler kits.
Here is a quick little project for you GReddy Fans. Print out the image below, cut it out along the thick black lines and fold along the thin black lines. Then glue at the * points. And then you should end up with your very own GReddy R35. Have Fun!
When your finished, email us a photo to greddyusa@greddy.com, we might have some stickers for you, if you live with in the USA. (or if you live out of side of the USA, send a print out image of your completed paper-craft, with a self-addressed envelope with the proper postage and we'll use you pre-paid envelope to send you out your free stickers)
