Default What's the highest Oil Temp. You Have Seen on Your TT?? ........

Got to make a bunch of laps in 3 segments this week at Gingerman Raceway up in South Haven, MI. I notice that my oil temp, which normally is around 200F was peaking at 280F.

I would park the TT and within 5 minutes of idling the temp. would be down to 220F.

I did a search and couldn't find much on temps you folks have seen.

This is certainly good impetus to get going with my oil cooler install.

Default where are you installing the cooler?

are you adapting one from a n/a vdub to fit where a side mount IC used to be? or aftermarket mount in front of the radiator kind?

Default Going over on the passenger front side where the old IC was...

After seeing 280F, and even running Mobil 1, I need to make this a priority.

Default good deal....i noticed this week during a recent heat "wave" in NJ>>>>

95-97 deg....that poking in traffic with the a/c on, the car ran around 220...as soon as we were moving it settled in around 210....i have not done a track event, but if i did, i might consider a fan too....just in case, but it might be a little overkill.....

Overall...to me, on a heavily modded car running higher boost levels, its a must have! ;-)
