Engine cooling

[paradocs98]

Wondering about engine cooling options for the track. I know some have used the upgraded M24 oil cooler with supercharged applications. What about upgrading the radiator? Anyone tried this or think it's necessary? I actually found a radiator upgrade on the Turner website--a PWR aluminum unit:

I have the oil cooler (not SC) and do plan on getting the radiator at some point. Also, been looking at this.

Am always trying to be proactive rather than reactive.

Did you achieve a decrease in oil temps on the track with the oil cooler? Did IND install it, or some other local shop?

The aluminum transmission pan is interesting--is that for a manual transmission or DCT?

IND did the install, literally took about 30 minutes. Not sure if she really runs that much cooler, maybe just a smidge, but what is noticeable is the rate of cooling on cool downs and after sessions. Needle drops to the mid point quicker now. And that clutch pan is for DCT. Might do that during the offseason along with the M24 radiator. Still open to suggestions and insights as well...
