So whats the answer to keeping the engines cooler when the ambient temp gets up to 30 + degrees?

[funkytown]

shroud the radiator and air dam to force air through better

move oil cooler out of front air dam to front inner gaurd

run seperate water circuit and cooler for the turbo - run cooler in other front inner gaurd

lol dont get me started lol ;D

funky, you want to take this? ;D

[Scoobydoo]

If you had a front mount setup, what about moving the oil cooler under the hood scoop to get some forced airflow?

My list is almost the same as this execpt my p/s cooler is currently in front of my radiator. And I dont run water cooling in the turbo. That can be a big factor with water temps etc.

[funkytown]

was good to meet you mate, love the look of your car, cant help but feel like i have the ugly sister car (sorta) haha.

Agree water temps should come down about 10 degs based on someone doing the reroute (past experenice).

Any thoughts on your high load miss? What water temps were you seeing?

Going too fast to have the roof vent open.

[Scoobydoo]

Never too fast for the roof vent haha. Gets mighty hot inside the cars on a hot day, race suit & helmet on. I'd have my vent open as well if I was doing it.

[Joker]

famous last words - the Japanese writing on them means stuff

[newsuba]

Something like... do not open above 80km/h

;D

[Scoobydoo]

Yeah I do realise that. I'd never open it at that speed... but if it's already open and you accelerate to that speed.. they are fine. But if you open it, it's the sudden wind pressure that will force it back and break your hinge.

first hot lap in the morning i did a 1.21 on semis. third lap in my link was shutting the car down as it got to hot so the rev limit was down around 5-5.5 grand.

made for a fairly 'slow' day as i couldnt get any power down all day unfortunately.

Went out on slicks after lunch and it got worse power wise. spent the day trying lines and discovering the new limits of my set up - namely i cant keep the car cool enough (hence the link shutting it down) and oil surging.

1.21 isn't 'slow' but given the potential of your car, i know you'll be keen to sort those temp issues and get back out there

any other quick laps on the day?

[spark_38]

Bugger I fell asleep and forgot about tonight.....yes, that will do.

Oh god it was so hot in that car. I am actually contemplating putting fans in just to get more circulation.
