Track Oil Temp Issues, looking for options.

BettyZ

Oil pressure sensor is a must-have for peace of mind. Be sure to get one that can read up to 150psi.

Oil galley gaskets are something you can DIY, if you have the space and a minimum of mechanical aptitude. I did it myself basically using nothing but this forum and the FSM. Nice thing ab doing that is that, while you're in there, you might as well upgrade the oil pump, new radiator, baffled oil pan, maybe some new camshafts...

At the very least you can strip out unneeded **** from the bay and replace the factory looms with braided looms to allow more airflow. Did that myself if you want tips.

Hmm. Sounds like it's time for Mr. Fender to meet Mr. Angle Grinder.

Be careful. The fender liner cut easy with a 4" fiber cut off wheel.

I have 2* 34row coolers in parallel, CSF triple pass radiator, SPAL fans, Zele front bumper, Varis kamikaze hood, Varis fender, front fender liner delete, and Mishimoto 68C/154.5F thermostat for oil temp and water temp control. My car is capable of doing endurance race and oil temp remains at around 110C/230F at around 40C/104F ambient temp here in Taiwan.

I was wondering, I'm planning to get a Mishimoto Oil Cooler just because I feel as if my oil temps get too high, highest I've seen mine go was around 240 ON A DAILY COMMUTE. Never tracked my car. I was wondering if anyone here can help me understand if its a waste of money to get the oil cooler and is it bad to get one if I'm not tracking the car?

BettyZ

I'd recommend a 25 row cooler, but NOT FROM MISHITMOTO. 99% of their "products" are re-branded Chinese eBay knockoffs that they slap a sticker on and upcharge you by 200%. This forum abounds with stories ab their products failing.

Friends don't let friends buy Mishimoto.

Friends don't let friends buy Mishittymoto. Some of their stuff is just junk.

2 options for an oil cooler. Z1 34 row, or the FI 34 row.

It's all about what you are going to ask of the car. I went years without one on my Z. Did fine for daily driving. But if I wanted to really hammer on it for more than a few turns, she started pulling timing really quick, especially in the Texas summer heat. For example, the one time I got it out on the track while she was still my daily, I did one warm up lap and by the third full speed lap (with traffic) she was in limp mode on the back straight at COTA. I backed off right away and only experienced any rev-limiting at 5000 RPMs.

Now that I no longer daily drive the Z, I am looking to get her out on the track a lot more. So I purchased a 34 row Fast Intentions oil cooler that will allow me to do more than 3 laps at full speed

If you’re running a thermostatic plate, maybe it’s not opening at all or enough.

So I just tested the sandwich plate and it works fine. The lines all look fine with no kinks either.

Am I really just beating on this car so hard? I have a pressure gauge on order probably going to mount it in the cubby. And going to fab up some simple baffles.

It's not like I'm in AZ like Hotrodz

Trackspec Hood vents worked great! It took much longer to get to peak temp (240F Oil, 208F Coolant) Air temp was around 58-68F all day so that helped a lot too. Still going to duct and relocate all the coolers, engine, oil, and PS.
