Any info on the failure? Was it fuel related?

My bad. I read that press release and missed that line.

GZ3 · 04-13-2011, 01:20 PM

i wonder what the nature of the cooling issue was? You know they were running a oil cooler

They may have underestimated the amount of oil cooling required in VQ's. With my oil cooler (which is one of the largest Setrab cores) I only can get about 10 laps of driving flatout at maximum RPM's on a hot day on a fast track. Cooler days or tracks with more mid-speed corners it is fine.

I think I read in their build info that they were using an oil to water cooler, hence allowing the radiator to do most of the work. Not sure if that was a supplement to an oil to air cooler or if that was the only cooling mechanism.

how many rows is yours? I hope it was the only cooler they were running, that way they can add a nice oil cooler to the mix. The oil to water system is nice for mild to medium, DD, track time, but for a race applications its just not enough plus given the oil temps issues with the 370Z....the 350Z had a similar oil to water system that was really effective

72 row, half width. If I added a supplemental oil/water cooler I think I would never have a problem again. It wasn't worth the hassle to me given the types of events I go to.
