Hey Everyone (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Here's what I'm running 2258cc 10.5 to 1 compression 40 webers 494 web cam type 1 oil pump mocal oil cooler 25 row mocal sandwich w/thermostat adapter accusump 2 quart Brad Penn Air-cooled oil 15-50 (5 1/2 quarts) Let me explain my set-up The oil cooler is a rear mount under the car on the passenger side rear. I made some duct work and its almost vertical to catch the most air as possible. Track conditions Sunny, low 80s, 30min sessions question 1) With that cooler I didn't expect to run in the 230f oil temps. Is 230f acceptable? question 2) I also have some oil on the top of the case /engine tin pooling. 1-2 side. It only happens under WOT. Any ideas? question 3) I never set-up an accusump and I don't like it so far. It over fills the case at shut-off. Do I have to much air in it (9lbs)? Other then my oil questions, I had a great time. Ran a 2:51. My new best time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) |

I like the installation, why not just add a fan to push air through it?

QUOTE(Jetsetsurfshop @ Dec 22 2013, 11:03AM) Check out the first picture. Its kinda "wedged" in there. I own a pull-thru fan that I haven't installed yet. Not surf if a fan will solve my problems? Probably wouldn't hurt though It's easier for air to flow around than through, so it does. Some air will flow through but it's not like a radiator at the front of the car. The fan will do the work of drawing it through. Air flow is the key to cooling. As an added benefit it works when your not moving so it keeps cooling while your waiting to get on the track and while your idling back to the pits. Worth a try, easy to install. There is a thermostat switch/install kit that Advance sells that lets you adjust when it comes on. I use one on my e30 and on the GTV. Niether have issues with over heating. The e30 has a m30 engine out of a 535 and most folks say it's hard to keep them cool in the smaller engine bay of the e30 (and that's my track toy). |
