without the oil cooler I'm seeing anywhere between 220-240+ even though its no hotter than 81 degrees outside. Furthermore I've burned about 1.5 quarts of Nissan Ester oil in the past 3000 miles. A few days ago I had her up to a short burst of 140+mph and I almost hit limp mode, just a small tick short. I agree you can feel the power loss as oil temps increase.
I ordered GTM's 25 row oil cooler yesterday, Sam called me earlier today and told me they were out of brackets so once that arrives in a few days they'll send it out so I'm guessing 2 weeks before it arrives. I'll be running the oil cooler with Motul 300V Power Racing. The internet moguls seem to be split on this oil, some say is runs cleaner, their exhaust tips showed no soot and 3000 miles later the oil was still clean. Others say that it shouldn't be used in anything not a race car. Motul says it's great for high reving engines and it's ester based so I think it'll go well.
I'm going to try to get to the dyno as soon as I get my LTH's and I drive around a bit to let the ecu reset. I think Tony shipped out #12 this week and I'm #14, once those babies are on we'll see how she does. Right now she's all stock minus test pipes and body work.
