Forced Induction oil temperatures

LateralG'z · 08-14-2010, 04:09 PM

I have an oil spacer, Competition 25 row and we are not having any oil temp problems but mine is SC not TT so not quite as much heat generated. It takes 7.5 quarts and I track my car and never get above 230 in 90 ambient, haven't got to run in the 107 currently plaguing OK.

Yeah, I think the 25 row Stillen would be just fine for a street TT setup as well but given the extra heat it does produce I think an even larger core is a good idea if you are tracking. Plus he is in FL where Summers are brutally hot and humid.

you also went with the GTM kit so there for your temps shouldn't reach as high as his even if you had the same exact setup. Unlike the greddy kit the GTM one really doesn't use the oil to cool it down. It uses the oil to lubricate the bearings and the coolant fluid in your car to cool its self. This is one of the big reasons the gtm kit shines over the greddy kit.
