I am ready to pull the trigger on an oil cooler in preparation for my next track day at the end of the month. I want to solicit some recommendations.
I was planning on piecing together my own kit built around a Setrab 34 row cooler and a Mocal thermo sandwich plate.
FYI, I live in CO so cooling in the thin, hot summer air is critical. I regularly hit 280+ deg F (limp mode) at the track in 75 deg F ambient. I plan on storing the car in the winter for the most part. The car is a daily driver in the summer and I plan on tracking the car on a regular basis.
My questions are:
Is this setup going to allow me to run the car on the street? Will I get enough heat in the oil (180 deg F)? Is the cooler too big for my application?
How difficult is it to assembly the Aeroquip reusable fittings/hose?
What would be your ideal oil cooler setup?
Thanks in Advance.
