Daily Driver No Longer

AlWakRa

I don't seems to pass 200-210F when I drive in street with FI oil cooler on summer, 85+ easily.


I have thermostatic sandwich plate on my z and it helps, my rsx doesn't have and it just drops temps during the outlap , I need to keep the revs too high to keep it warm, but I think the weather during the season is the reason, lets say it is between 65-90F. Anyway, for street driving, the car needs a thermostatic one.

Where Hotrodz is at. You can fry eggs in the shade during summer. It's over 100F.

The hood vents help lower temps quickly on cool down lap. By the time I get back to the paddock my temps are pretty close to normal. I the winter she runs on the cool side but not out of the safe zone without blocking the oil cooler but that is always an option.

In summer over here, it reaches 120F or higher my point is, without thermostats the car will take a long time to reach optimal temps when the weather is cooler, Hotrodz tt is a good heater so he doesn't need thermostats

Same experience with my z in track, but it can reach 250F during session even in cooler weather, on the other hand, my dc5 stays at 195F on track but if I slowed down it get quickly cooler, without even installing any vents, but I installed the biggest cooler I can get.

Agreed, for the most part. You really can't compare to other cars. I mean before I was tracking I drove it a couple day in Phoenix traffic and temps were 125 or so and even with the AC on it only hit 135. The engine bay on the Z just doesn't allow the motor to cool in extreme use. Me and my brother have run our Miata in back to back sessions in 90* without any heating issue but there is a ton of open space around that little four banger and we don't have an oil cooler.
