Wow that's not good!

Yeah that's not good at all. Might want to look at an oil pan spacer.

My car last moth at sebring only hit 214 with 8 lb of boost and I have a 32 row cooler. My vented hood has helped my cooling by getting more air in through the coolers.

What are you using for engine coolant? If the 13-14 use the coolant to cool oil maybe going to water and water wetter might help, I switch to it a few months ago and I think it's ran cooler.

Properly Vented hood, period!

I havent had a chance to track yet but around town driving fast, 90* stop and go traffic for hours, canyon carving etc! I've yet to hit 220 in my 13. I don't think the coolant increases temps because coolant stays around 200-210. That's obviously cooler than 270. But if you want to remove the OEM one you need the oil filter threaded plug off a 09-11. I just bought one from nissan. It's only $8.

Also SSfirehawk?? Had a 72 row ;). He's in Vegas and I believe had trouble hitting 200.

One oil cooler is not enough
 

There are two long curves where I was holding it in second to maintain speed and quickly get out and I was very close to redline the whole time. When I did the same curves and used the lower rpm of 3rd gear it just seemed to lose too much time/power to get going. Guess I should just accept a slower exit speed from the turns in order to keep the temp down.
Thanks for the mention of fast intentions, they have a $15 kit to block of the radiator deal. Gonna try to order that tomorrow.

I put a spal fan on my oil cooler with a relay that switches it on once it hits around 220. The oil will creep up to 225 or so if I'm beating on it, but no further.

If you get a tune, you can set the fans to come on earlier. That will help a lot.

At the end of the day, a hood vent will probably solve a good chunk of your issues, if not all of it. You have to get the hot air out somehow.

What about a larger radiator to remove the heat from the water. Seems the 370 has a very thin minimal radiator.

Would bigger radiator fans and/or faster fan motors help?

Nice call Ark. I was thinking the same thing.

How far from the radiator is your oil cooler mounted?

You can try 1) shrouding your oil cooler for dollars, 2 shrouding + fan, 3) remove the oem oil cooler which I did just buy oil filter stub for older cars w no oil coolers

What kind of oil are you running also, strange because my oil never went past 265 even at 110+ degrees at the track on a 2012 w oem oil cooler and z1 34 row.

I ordered the Nissan part to remove the coolant "collar" and if that is not enough, I will try an upgraded radiator, thanks for the help!
