Jackson Racing Scion FR-S & Subaru BRZ Dual Radiator/Oil Cooler

Dual Radiator/Oil Cooler

Jackson Racing launches new line of cooling products for
FR-S and BRZ

Chino, California (April 25th, 2016) – The championship-winning performance experts at Jackson Racing are proud to launch their new line of cooling products, starting with the release of the Dual Radiator/Oil Cooler for the Scion FR-S & Subaru BRZ. The FR-S/BRZ version is now available for $895.00USD.

An engine oil cooler is a must have for high performance vehicles. The FA20 engine in the FR-S/BRZ is a finely tuned high compression engine and engine oil temperatures can spike to dangerous levels even on stock cars. With all types of forced induction being added to the FR-S/BRZ, the need for universal FA20 oil cooling is needed.

The Jackson Racing Dual Radiator/Oil Cooler was developed in-house in conjunction with manufacturing partner CSF Radiators to be the ultimate solution for FR-S/BRZ Street and Track enthusiasts. With well over a year of development, Jackson Racing is proud to bring a true “drop in” all-aluminum radiator with built in oil cooler for the FR-S/BRZ platform. No trimming or cutting needed and installs with all OEM components. The Jackson Racing Dual Radiator/Oil Cooler includes all necessary components for engine oil connections for a true plug and play solution.

The radiator features a 31mm CSF B-Tube core, with over a 100% increase in cooling surface area. The CSF B-Tube technology boosts surface area by 15% vs standard oval tube cores. The integrated liquid to oil cooler features 10AN fittings for proper flow to and from the engine.

The entire system has been put to the test on the Jackson Racing FR-S test mule for thousands of miles on the street and track, in all types of conditions. We are proud to say this system works flawlessly, keeping oil temperatures within a 30ºF temperature delta, thus maintaining consistent engine performance. Thanks to the large liquid to oil cooler, engine oil is kept at the proper operating temperatures in all environments, whether it is cold startup or a hot day at the autocross.

Key Points:

  • Increased Cooling Capacity
  • Integrated Liquid to Oil Cooler
  • True Plug and Play Solution
  • Quicker Cold Start Oil Warm Up
  • Consistent Oil Temperatures
  • Heavily Tested

Race Report: 2016 SCCA Majors Tour Round 3

The 2016 SCCA Majors Round 3 at Thunderhill Raceway

xlarge

Chino, California (April 11, 2016) – Jackson Racing tackles the Ultimate Challenge at Thunderhill Raceway in Willows, CA.

Round 3 of the SCCA Majors Tour was held at the infamous Thunderhill Raceway, where there were 2 course configurations on deck for the weekend. Saturday’s configuration was the normal 3 mile course, while Sunday was the first time the SCCA ran the “5 mile” course for Majors competition.

 

Friday afternoon was qualifying for Saturday’s race. Track conditions were good and Oscar Jackson Jr. was able to get the Jackson Racing supercharged Scion FR-S in pole position for Saturday’s race. Mother nature decided to throw a curveball for Saturday morning’s race, as the Jackson Racing Team was met with overcast and light rain. Oscar Jr. did a great job adjusting for the conditions and lead flag to flag taking the win.

Sunday the weather had gotten worse. The Jackson Racing Team was left to make a decision on whether the rain would remain light enough to use the race tires for qualifying, or if a switch to rain tires would be needed for qualifying. The rain remained fairly light for the morning so the decision was made to keep the race tires on in search for a dry line. As qualifying was about to begin, the rain picked up. The rain in qualifying wet the track too much, slowing all the times down. Unfortunately, the team had opted to skip Saturday qualifying practice to work on prepping the car for the Sunday 5 mile race, so the Saturday dry qualifying session was in play for times. This would mean Oscar Jr. and the Jackson Racing FR-S would have to battle from the back of the pack in the race.

After qualifying the rain stopped, and the track started to dry out. This made tire choice easier for the race start. The Sunday race began and Oscar Jr. got right to work on moving through the field. He quickly got to the front and kept a great pace to propel the Jackson Racing FR-S to the win!

Stay tuned for Round 4 of the Western Conference SCCA Majors Championship at Buttonwillow April 29-May 1!

Race Report: 2016 SCCA Majors Tour Round 1

The 2016 SCCA Majors Opener at Auto Club Speedway

Chino, California (February 1, 2016) – Jackson Racing battles weather at the SCCA season opener in Fontana, CA.

The weekend started off fantastic during qualifying on Friday and Saturday morning. A well prepped car and good weather conditions yielded a STL (Super Touring Light) Class Record, with the Hasport/Jackson Racing Honda CRX. The Scion FR-S was also running great and Oscar Jackson Jr. piloted the car to the pole position for STU (Super Touring Under) Class.

The STL race was the first of four for the weekend (2 STL races and 2 STU races). The CRX began the race on pole, and maintained the position throughout the race. Fellow Jackson Racing supported driver, Clint Boisdeau, was right behind in his B16 powered Honda Civic. In the end, Jackson Racing got the 1-2 finish in the first STL race of the Majors Opener.

Next up was the Saturday STU class race. The Jackson Racing Scion FR-S started on pole for this race due to the great driving of Oscar Jr. He had a good start and was pulling away from the rest of the class. The car looked good as it circled the track, but unfortunately encountered an issue that took him out of the race. Luckily, it was a quick fix and the car would be ready for the next day.

Day 2 came with A LOT of dark clouds, and last minute decisions. The Jackson Racing team had prepped both cars the prior day in anticipation of rainy races. Looking at the sky, then the weather app, then back at the sky, the decision was to run the BFGoodrich KDW-R rain tires? Or the R1-S race tires? The decision was to run the race tires in the first race with the CRX as the rain wasn’t expected until late morning. Just before the start of the race, the drizzle started. The Hasport/Jackson Racing CRX jumped out and quickly put a good gap between it and the other cars, as there was a chance of the rain picking up. The rain did start to come down heavier, and Oscar Jr. did a fantastic job of maintaining the lead, even while he was slipping and sliding on the race tires. The little CRX took the win again! This car will only get faster and faster as we continue developing the car throughout the season.

Confident that the FR-S would run flawlessly this time out, Oscar Jr. was ready to go out there and have at it in the rain. The BFGoodrich KDW-R rain tires worked awesome in the downpour, especially in the flooded areas of Auto Club Speedway. The FR-S was perfect throughout the entire race, which turned into a tremendous lead, of over 1 minute, to our next competitor. 35 minutes later, the FR-S claimed the checkered flag and put another win in the books. This is only the start of a big development year. Now with the Roval races out of the way, a more traditional road course setup is being developed for our car. Stay tuned!
