1HZ TD I/C oil cooler
Posted: Sun Mar 04, 2007 4:05 pm
A question for all you 1hz td i/c gurrus,
Is there any advantage fitting an external oil cooler to one of these donks or is the standard coolant cooled oil cooler sufficient.
I can understand it would be pointless in a std 1hz donk but when your running 15psi boost and things a getting very hot under the bonnet does the std oil cooler handle it.
I don't have any cooling probs with mine but since I recently fitted a bypass oil filter I have been surprised how f____g hot this filter gets. I put a digital themocouple on the filter, drove around a while monitoring it, the temp varied from 90 c driving easy & up to 105 c giving it stick up a hill.
BTW the bypass filter pressure pick off IS cooled oil.
Has anyone fitted one to this donk?
