I forgot to mention, I took the car out for an hour drive last night... my first time really getting to boost the car...boosted quite a bit...put a smile on my face quite a bit :)

tell me more? :yum:

oh, and btw, AMAZING numbers on such low boost! <3

Well, I removed the plastic undertray and fender liners to see if that would aid the oil cooler into getting rid of the hot air stuffed in the engine bay. After doing 3 back to back pulls, oils temps only hit 240. I went and gave a friend a ride and he said it felt faster than my G35 (it trapped 116mph). I went home with a smile on my face.:icon17:

What size is your cooler?

Only 240? Dude that's really high. Even when I had my 25row it never got anywhere near that, how hot was it ou where you are when you did those pulls? You should switch to a 34row and what a difference did it make for me.

Setrab 25-row.
I say only 240 (it was 75 last night) becasue I've seen 250 (92 during the day) not boosting at all on a 7 minute drive. I'm honestly not sure if a 34-row will fit. Shawn is going to relocate the oil cooler. That SHOULD fix the problem. If not, I'll see if I can fit a 34-row somewhere in there.

I have a 34 row with my big intercooler, it should fit for you. But yeah your engine shouldn't be running that hot, you can damage the head like that. Did you guys mess with your coolant system?

240 is high man, should be no more than 220 at most.

240+ is fine with good oil.

You guys are nuts if you think 240 is fine.

What are your thoughts on turbo'ing the VQ37 compared to the VQ35? Not the power/speed differences, but the power delivery? Drivability? response?

You ever look at optimal ranges for most modern oils?

ryan, i do feel being that the fans are in front possibly the shroud is hurting more than helping you. I would think about putting on just regular round fans without the shroud. Sorry if i miss read but are your new mafs in and have they been tune with them? sorry bro 240 is no good :)

As an overall i glad to see different builds... i will be back into my single turbo by the end of the year. Congrats again, but be prepared as Billy want me to take his tt car to the track. Ima own 1/4 times for n/a and tt hahahaha


yea so i just looked at the pics and no shroud...disregard my idea above... i have been working too much

Go with a 34R cooler. Especially where you live. Couldn't hurt.
