Stillen SC + FrozenBoost HE + Oil Cooler?
Hey everyone,
We had the car out on track last week for its first shake down. It performed well but suffered from heat soak on the charge cooler heat exchanger side. I was wondering, I have seen that a few people have gone for the FrozenBoost rad, but did that mean their oil coolers (if they are running one) sat infront of the rad? Did this affect the FrozenBoost cooler or did it still work well? Cheers |

I believe the order from outside (first in line) to back:
Intercooler Oil cooler Radiator

OP, the Stillen kit isn't great on a track. You want to enlarge that hear exchanger, much larger oil cooler, ideally a larger radiator, and the best thing you can do after that (but helps solve all your problems) is to get a different front bumper to allow for better airflow. I tell you that without an oil cooler and just the Stillen front bumper, my oil temps are 10-20 degrees cooler when I do my 50-120 uphill pulls

I agree the bigger intercooler and better radiator would be huge upgrades for the car on the track.

I thought frozen boost was an additive, lol I reread the thread... Obviously my reading komprihenshun isn't that great...

I believe this is the additive many are using:

hey nope at least not on the G's, My oil cooler was not in front of my HUGE front mount heat exchanger. I can tell you for the $$ Its worth it no questions asked. I ran my car 8 times at the track 1/4. after the second time the car was dog,. Heat soaked like it was on fire. After the change the car never waivered from it. Best upgrade to that kit. Should come with one IMO( Yes I have been saying that a lot) Because to bolt the heat exchanger to the radiator MAKES NO SENSE lol..

Ok cool. I'll order the FrozenBoost cooler then.
Did you guys go for the 3.5" thick core or the 2"? I currently have Stillen's 25 row gold cooler but im actually tempted to up that to a setrab or mocal 40 row. |

This is how it looks i have a 34 row oil cooler behind the frozen boost intercooler running with mocool additive and AN fittings. I had the old intercooler behind my oil cooler and i noticed an increase in oil temps after putting the frozen boost intercooler on but only by 10-15 degrees. And thats in 100degree texas heat today. I tracked my car with the sc in april and it was beast never had heat problems with my setup. |
