Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - vented hood or parallel oil coolers? OR both!!

Jmatchley86 · 01-18-2020, 08:02 AM

have two ideas to help kill my heat issues on track. I'm also TX so we already have a hill to climb heat wise! Last summer, and even into the fall, i would see 260 plus about 2/3 of the way through a 20 min session... arg

I'm looking to either do a vented hood using trackspec vents

Or running a parallel 34 row oil cooler. From my reading on these forums the oil pump can handle the extra cooler, and parallel vs series is the way to go. I also have a thermostatic plate since this is still a daily driver.

Eventually I will probably end up doing both but seat time costs and so do these parts! Basically i'm trying to figure out which give me the most "bang for my buck" to start with. Does anyone have a suggestion of where to start?
