Good find. HP Academy (same company as the people making that video) is one of my favorites. Their podcasts are super interesting for the tech nerds our there

3. 25 Row + Mishimoto Performance Radiator + WaterWetter = 239°F to 257°F
4. 25 Row + Mishi Rad + GReddy Radiator Breather Tank = 221°F to 239°F

I also run a grill mesh guard to keep the cooler and rad clean (see pic) and an Evor CF rad shroud.

Didn’t realize the breather tank made such a big difference to water temps! Looks like a fairly simple and cheap upgrade for the future.

My radiator and oil cooler are separated, with ducting to both. Make sure there is space behind the cooler and radiator for the air to go. No matter how well you duct to force the air into them, if there is nowhere for the air to go, you
won't get the air flow for maximum cooling. I just moved my oil temp sensor
to the sandwich adapter, so I know the temps as the oil enters the block.
My temps maxed out at 190 with ambient temps around 95. I'm N/A though.

Max temp of 190 is super impressive regardless of being N/A!
