Yes oil cooler would be best solution
Do well to last 3 laps before hitting 120 lol
Do you think a small one would do the trick? 13 row? I'll be getting a thermostatic sandwich plate. Would the oem cooler need removing/blocking off?
.
whats your oil pressure???
a good oil like millers (nanotech) holds its viscosity very well until past 120C...
you need to know your coolant temps as well
Coolant temps are best seen with an aftermarket gauge, the OEM dash gauge is a joke.
What manifold are you using? Cast or Stainless?
i use a 13 row on my NA setp K20s. Takes a full 20 minutes before I get to 120C/248F, full on flogging at track. My coolant never moves once at temp.

Cast.
Ill probably go for a 13 row one too. I just cant find any that come as part of a full kit including the thermostatic sandwich plate.
Oil pressure isnt suffering at 120-125 degrees. I stayed on for an extra lap during one stint and the oil temp hit almost 130 and the temp guage started to flash. When i came off to let it cool the pressure seemed to have dropped a tiny bit on idle.
I guess ill need to get another guage for the coolant temps.
I use millers 10w40.
Not sure on the water temps but the gauge on the dials sits about half way at all times.
