What do you think caused the engine failures? High oil temps? That worries me because I also have a 2270 I want to DE. I also have a cooler with fan above the rear axle. Did you have a fan on your old cooler? Thanks, John |

QUOTE(FourBlades @ Oct 4 2012, 07:14 AM)  What do you think caused the engine failures? -Only one failure, clearly from detonation & because the tune was done for the street and me as a complete noob hammered the hell out of it at VIR. I had only had the car for two weeks prior....steep learning curve. Likely wouldn't have happened with carbs properly jetted, but with SDS I just wasn't savvy enough at that point to catch the lean running. High oil temps? -Nope--that only shortens the life of the oil really. I use only the Brad Penn 20W50 specified by Jake. That worries me because I also have a 2270 I want to DE. -Go for it if you treat it responsibly. I also have a cooler with fan above the rear axle. Did you have a fan on your old cooler? -Yep, it had a fan, but it's trying to cool the oil with hot air from the engine & just wasn't able to handle summertime heat--the high temps I saw was at events in July & August with track temps well above 100F. Just keep an eye on it--if it's a problem, enjoy the installation of a front mount unit! Thanks, John |
