I know ... this issue has been covered 1000 times but looks like I am pushing the envelop a little bit futher. I own a 2009 370Z with a Stillen SC, I replaced the SC rad by a Frozenboost, I have a Stillen 25 rows oil cooler and I replaced the front bumper with the Stillen one. I use the car only on race tracks. Even with all those mods, my engine oil still hit 260F + degrees . I am now considering the ultimate solution. Since there is 2 large holes each side of the bumper, I am thinking of installing 2 extra oil cooler, daisy chained with one an other. I would build a shroud from the bumper to the oil coolers (for the 2 behind the wheels) to funnel the air. Behind the coolers, I am going to make holes in the inner fenders to let the air flow outside of the bumper bay. Does anyone ever made something like that ? Any flaws in my plan ?
