Default Fluidyne or Oil Cooler

Hey, Just curious what you guys think would help the car stay cooler during scca and road racing. The type R already has an oil cooler, but do you guys think that it is effecient enough?? I am kind of leaning towards the Fluidyne. What do you guys think???

I say oil cooler first...add in some water wetter into your radiator and you should be fine...but let's wait to hear from the track rats.

stock radiator works fine...

remove a/c and install a air/oil type cooler.

I think you should just give your extra money that you got (if you got any) to tithing. (sp) You never go to SCCA because it is on the day of SABBATH, and like we have a road corse you can drive on here.

Go! Greddy! Much better quality than B&M. You can oder it from Taka Kaira in Japan for less than $400.00 w/shipping or a little over.But it's really worth it.Go with a mugen thermostat,thermoswitch and cap.Koyo radiator w/dual fans and water wetter,a greedy oil cooler.Thats what i'm runnin on mine.But i actually have the Spoon cap,not the Mugen.But if you want to run as cool as you can this what i would suggest.

I think you should worry about brake cooling before motor cooling. The stock system is pretty good - just run your car with your windows open and the heater on full blast.
