To the collective world knowledge database...
What is the largest size type IV that can built and used safely as a street car without adding an external oil cooler? Thanks! |

Depends on a whole lot of factors. The overall efficiency of the engine spec, state of tune of the engine, ambient temps it will be driven through, etc.
I know that a mis-tuned stock motor can require an external oil cooler when driven through Grant's Pass in the summer. And a decently-tuned bone-stock 2.0 can require a cooler when driving through the desert in the summer. --DD |

I had a 2,4Liter engine with 160 HP . First i drive with this Engine without front oil cooler. Not possible.
In the engine oil temperature immediately goes into the red zone. Better with front oil cooler but you really have to watch out for the temerature. The current engine 2,7 typ 4 has a front oil cooler and a fan from the 911 No problems with the oil temperature no matter how I drive |
