Looking for some advice - prepping Z for first track day

GSS138

Completely not true. I run the same track he is going to and on a hot day you will not finish a session w/o aftermarket cooling once your times are in that range.

That being said, you probably won't be putting in times fast enough to warrant a full 34 row your first few track days.

I run the OEM loop, the CSF triple pass, and full 34 row. It has yet to see 260 since, but I have not been in 100+ degree heat yet with it so we will see. Lot of guys out here run two 34 row coolers with fans just to maintain temps. AE Performance at one point mfgr an 88 row oil cooler, and it is completely not out of the question for SoCal/Vegas track conditions.

My honest opinion is that the CSF triple pass is really the answer and the only reason I am able to get away with a single 34 row. The CSF triple pass is a beast.

ButtonWillow 13 is unfortunately one of the worst fuel starve tracks you will encounter. There are at least two spot that will starve you out-cotton corners and the buttonhook. Bring your own gas if you can, but they have pumps at the track as well.

2 oil coolers?!? What year Z u have?!? If ur running the stock oil stabilizer then that's your problem take that thing off once u buy an after market oil cooler other wise it's canceling out.

Not with the CSF it's not. But I am the only one I know of running that setup, all I can say is so far it works wonderfully. I think the CSF actually keeps the temps low enough to actually allow that loop to be efficient.

My friend Martin 82 deleted his, and he has to run 2 24/34? coolers with fans to achieve the same results.

WO the CSF I would agree with you, remove that loop, but so far I have not needed to and think there might actually be some benefit to leaving it in fi you can get your engine temps low enough,which so far seems to be the case.

It's painful that you have to spend in the neighborhood of $2k to get it to this point either way though lol.

I'm running the stock stabilizer also. I need it actually to warm the engine oil initially. With the 2 coolers, in the winter time my oil wont heat, so the engine coolant warms the oil earlier.

I'll admit, I prefer it not be there though..It makes getting the oil filter off a real PITA
