I attempted my 914-6 conversion with a 3.0L without running an external oil cooler. Some have said they have done it so I figured if I could save a grand of dollars that would be nice. But my extended freeway driving took it to around 240 and I didn't push it any further. So thus I caved and installed an external oil cooler.
Engine oil ouput line  Existing Remote Filter Mounted in Trunk  Mocal 25 Row, 235 Matrix Mounted  Braced Against Muffler Bracket  Fan Mounted  Electrical - Grounded to Transmission Ground  Relay Mounted - Main Power off Bus Bar, Ignition from Relay Board  Mocal Remote Oil Thermostat  Putting It Together  Finished!  Brings temps down to 190 @ idle  |

Did you try replacing the stock on-board thermostat first? They do go bad and then the built in cooler is doing nothing.
