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! |

Yes and no, because I've built both with no over heat issues.
Do not use over 96mm P&C's without Nickies. Any bigger is automatically a misconfigured engine in my book. That's a pretty basic rule, why Porsche when to an all aluminum cylinder as their engines got bigger. Adding an oil cooler not really going to help a misconfigured engine, maybe a bit but it's a bandaid solution. Also maybe you need one in socal, etc., but I'm taking into account the OP's location. |
