I'm not all that worried about the engine temps, and I'm aiming on ditching the stock oil cooler system... I just need a good reason to do so other than my gut feeling... Like many things with these cars, it could be that nobody has taken the time to actually test the theories out there and we're all promulgating wives tales...
The T-stat is a fine idea and I'm well aware of it... However, define great success for me? I haven't checked with Frank to see if his car can maintain the 160 temps and he may not know for sure yet since he's still tuning the turbo.. I dunno...
Our cars cool well, but I'm pretty certain my car can't hold 160 with the stock radiator on the track so it's a bit moot for a track rat like me... I've lost track of what Frank has for cooling, he may be able to hold 160- I'm quite confident that I can't hold that temp with my setup though...
Best,
Phil
