Oil Coolers and Over cooling

Super Tanooki · 05-27-2012, 03:53 PM

I know I'm digging up an old thread but since, you know, "search the forum first..."

Thanks a lot ZForce and Dustin@Z1 for the info RE: post-OC temp readings. I used to feel a HUGE drop in power at about 225* (anyone else notice this?) before I got the OC. The OC install dropped my average temps LOADS so I thought the problem was over, but now I feel the power drop at around 205. It was baffling me for the longest time but that MUST mean the in-engine oil temps are basically about 20* hotter than the gauge says.

I just wish the car wouldn't pull so much power at 225*. I mean, it's terrible, even flooring it in first gear does near nothing until 4000rpm. :-/ Do you all get this lag at those temps?

Oh, on a side note, has anyone noticed turning on their AC ironically brings engine temps down about 10*? It's pretty consistent. I'm in Vegas, and I'd usually just bear the heat, but I actually HAVE to turn on AC just to kick in the fans to help cool my engine when it's lagging like hell.
