I'm debating on adding an external oil cooler for my track/autoX 914. I really don't drive it on the street that much at all. I found a few different kits available, mostly from CBperformance. My question is, do I really need a fan on the cooler?
Will this suffice? http://cbperformance.com/catalog.asp?ProductID=234 Does this kit replace the stock cooler or utilize a spin on filter adapter? Or do I need something like this? http://cbperformance.com/catalog.asp?ProductID=228 To be honest, I want to just take precautionary measures to keep oil temps down. I don't have an oil temp gauge yet, only digital head temp. Head temps run pretty hot on occasion, so I figured bringing oil temps down a bit couldn't hurt. Yea yea.. .i can already hear Jake saying it.. solve the head temp issue, find out why its running hot, etc etc.. I'm going to address that via tuning this spring. Thanks |
