Hey guys, I have finally gotten the car to the track and I am loving it,
but there is an issue I want to fix before the next track day.
I been reading that oil temperatures go up pretty higher after few laps, so I will be installing an oil cooler to help with this problem.
I don't want to remote install the oil filter I just want to use an adaptor plate so I can run the lines to the cooler that I will be mounting at the back somewhere, tha car has a taitec difusser so there should be space to mount it properly to actually work. I will probably be replacing the lines for the factory oil cooler.
I don't want to run the oil cooler all the way to the front, first because of pressure drop and second I am just afraid of that line traveling so far, something might go wrong.
I am not running oil temp gauge(yet) so o don't know what tempetures are looking like, I am doing this as a preventing option.
So here are a couple questions for you guys:
for those running a set up similar to the one I described(cooler at the rear) are your temperatures better?
And when the oil lines are replaced on the factory oil cooler, is there alot of coolant lost? Does the system has to be bleed again?
Thanks for your imput guys, I will be working this pretty soon.
