Hey guys...
Thanks for clearing up my confusion on the oil cooler... makes sense that I was looking at the power steering cooler... glad it is there ! I blew up 2 power steering pumps on my boxster, so that's one less thing to worry about !
Also, thanks for the tip on the nismo oil cooler... I'll definitely look into that! May also be possible to build a better one with other parts - I'll let everyone know once I get that figured out. I'll prob skip the LSD cooler - figure I'll drive it till it dies then look for a mech LSD.
Appreciate the tip on the tires too, but I'm actually going to put them in storage and get a set of Enkeis + toyo R888s.
Regarding local shops... yes... my car will be the test mule for Vivid racing... they are doing intake + pulleys + exhaust under Agency Power... I'll start a separate thread on that with pics once it is underway... it'll be several weeks before I update... I'm also planning to do some other mods...
Another good shop for those in Phoenix is SRD... talked with their owner, Chet, at the track today and he's definitely interested in working on 370s, and has done some pretty cool 350 race car conversions in the past
So, going back to my original post... I'd still really like to get some confirmation about the root cause of my issues... am I right that it was the computer stepping in to keep the engine cool ? do you think the right way to address it is by adding an oil cooler ? THANKS
