S1 with approx 170 BHP- Oil Cooler?

[Tin Hat]

Hi, I am running a Bell and Colvill Super 160 with the following:

No cat
Emerald ECU
4 into 1 manifold
ITG induction
Nitrons (no affect on engine other than higher cornering speeds?)

I think that I am hitting about 170 BHP (it was at 163 at Emerald prior to ITG and exhaust), my question is do I need an oil cooler?

I've got one on my sport 160. I can only imagine its a good thing to have. If you are doing track work, then I would say a definet yes !

At least run an oil with a high HTHS value http://wiki.seloc.org/a/Oil_Labelling_Explained and change every say 8 track hours or fit a laminova (and PRT whilst your there) or all of the above.

Good jacking.

Let me know what it's like, if you get back by the end of the month!

Is the engine running too hot? Do you use it on track? if so probably, if not, why add weight?

fit an oil temp guage and see for yourself....
