Oil Cooler, How cold is too cold?
 

I'm looking to upgrade the stock oil cooler for the daily soon to be off-on track car. Would a 24 be sufficient or should I tone it down? Obviously the big issue here is running the risk of running too cool :cool:. Owning this car it seems like 220 is operating temp, what would you consider too cold to run? As well as what do you find sufficient? Thanks guys.:driving:

Go bigger with a thermostatic plate

180 to 200 would be perfect. 220 is getting warm in my book. On the track, 200 to 230 would be ideal for me.

^^^^THIS^^^^

And have the thermostat open at 180deg

Mishimoto?

Ive never tracked my car, but I have a 34 row with a thermostatic plate, and I like to have my oil temps at 170 degrees on the highway, and in the city, obviously the temp will rise with stop and go traffic, so if my temps are 200-220 at the highest, I'm ok with that.

FÙCK NO.

Nothing from MiSHITimoto.



Buy a kit from Z1 or Fast Intentions

Just as an FYI, with an oil cooler, your oil temps are about 20 degrees higher than on the gauge.

Z1 Motorsports. If it's going to be seeing the track, get a 34 row.

ahhh, I didn't know that, thank you sir.

Friends don't let friends put Mishimoto in their cars!

:rofl2::rofl2:

God no.

I made my own with a 48 row.

You don't think a 34 is excessive for daily off-on track use? What are the risks I face for running too cold?

I feel like I owe you a drink now.
