I have a new Setrab cooler and Mocal t-stat.
I'd like to install them next month. Is there any reason why I shouldn't? I'll be doing mainly a/x. May try a DE this year? KT Attached image(s) |

Z makes a good point that you really need to decide if all the work, expense and metalcutting is "worth it" for a small(ish) six.
I currently have a 2.2S-spec six in my car and its cooling system is designed to handle a more extreme engine in the ultimate extreme conditions, e.g., Willow Springs (high desert) in July/August for 20-30 minute balls-out sessions in 110°F ambient temps. And I do use it in such conditions; however, in reality this means the cooler intake must be taped-off to get enough heat into the engine the majority of the time. However, I'd rather lean towards OVERkill vs. UNDERkill when it comes to oil cooling. If your car doesn't get too hot too often, then you don't really need a $$$$ cooler setup. |
