Just as a quick update on this here product!
Have had it in now about maybe 6 weeks, Install went in without issues. Fitment was great. (Production version in mine). It looks nice too, all shiny n stuff and you can see corners and bits of it when you open the hood. Its also about twice as thick as the oem radiator which is pretty good.
I dont have very specific before after numbers for the hot time but...
road trip to z1, i made sure to go cruise control 70mph and outside temp was 60 degrees. Oil temps were 160. (I have a big oil cooler)
after install, road trip home, cruise control 70mph and outside temp was 70 degrees. Oil temps were 155.
Now, to get to z1 i did have to go about 30 miles on highway uninterupted which is where i clocked this. Trying to be consistant with it. I checked the temp at the end of the run, which gave the temps enough time to settle up or down.
Its not 100% scientific and maybe there are other variables, but eh still figured i'd mention it.
Temps on the road are hitting 88+ now days, my oil temps have been low (175 or below) for highway driving and thats even spirited driving doing speeds well above speed limit. Hopefully in even hotter weather, can get some numbers with coolants temps as well.
Highest my temps have gotten is construction traffic. 2 miles in 30 minutes.. and that was only 205. in about 78 degree weather.
