I don't know how common it is on the kits most places are offering but an air/oil cooler with a thermostat-based bypass would be the best idea for a 3-season car that sees fairly heavy track use, wouldn't it?

you will still need a block off plate, the thermostatic adapter is usually not quite enough.


Spohn-- it can certainly be done. I just like the idea of minimizing the number of failure points.

With stacked coolers, one of the two is likely to run into some funky flow issues too.

I agree also. But for myself this was the best thing for running my oil pressure gauge. Eventually I will run something different. Basically I wanted to instow confindence that when done right there's no worries.

yep, and that is something that serves a valid purpose (no way in hell I'd run an aircooled system without one). Stacking coolers doesn't make a lot of sense-- higher risk, no real reward.

Especially after seeing pressure at 130psi when cold and at 2.5K revs.

Um, is this a joke or something? That's quite high for an engine barely above idle.
