I have a 72 row oil cooler like SS and my experience has been the same and I am boosted. Temps can hit 260 but the car never goes into limp mode. My oil temps vary depending on the length of the track and traffic well cause temps to rise due to restricted air flow.

I ended up adding the trackspec vents... but due to the outbreak of a light beer i have yet to see the results. hopefully in May but not crossing fingers.

They help, I have them too!

the ViS Racing "Invader" hood appears to be effective. I think a guy named Bullit used it and Z1 has it one one of their cars

Fujimura works based on anecdotal evidence of users here

Varis as well based on rep + positioning of the vents

My ideas are running a second oil cooler or making some sort of air funnel for the radiator / oil cooler.

Has anyone attempted an air funnel or had bad experience with 2 oil coolers?

Thanks!

What bumper are you using!?
Your gonna need a better bumper paired with a better oil pan and hood vents.

First track day update since the install.. IT WORKS! never saw higher than 240 and its 90F outside today in TX.

Using OEM from a 2011 so its the really old design. think the vents did the trick

Let us know what your oil temps look like when the outside temps get to 100F+ :tiphat:

Day 2 was 95 and I hit 2 PBs. Temp hit around 250 (not looking at it that hard on track) but it never hit the 260 mark. Worked on staying in 3rd on a few turn complexes vs 4th and it generated a bit more heat. Think with 100F plus i'll still be fine.

Im new to the oil cooler gang! Since the Covid and the track shutting down, I usually go for a canyon run. While the temps are lower then 90, elevation is above 4900 ft. Last two times before the oil cooler, it was 255 - 260. Now, with the oil cooler, its closer to 210. I wonder adding a water spray on the oil cooler will help drop the temp.

Why?!! Anything under 240 you are fine.

I have the same temperature issue in Texas when on track. I am considering the AMS Carbon fiber hood. See https://www.carid.com/2009-nissan-37...218929055.html I get this issue when I wind out 3rd and 4th gears right to redline. I am finding out that the car cools better if I use 5th gear for the longer portions of the track. Once I get this hood done, my temps should be much more manageable. Street driving is no issue for me. I run the Mishimoto oil cooler and sandwich plate. Temps above 90 generally mean near over heat on a track day. Hoping the new Hood helps with better heat dissipation.

I'm sure the AMS hood is going to help but the Trackspec vents are positioned in the center and remove alot of heat. Plus its like 50% less than a CF hood and i'm a cheap *** lol.

lol you're right. I want to be prepared for track days. Idk how the car reacts to 15-20 min of pure revs under 90+ degree weather.

Elmo370z 06-03-2020 10:27 PM

Car reach 280, ran fine until it hit that point.
