I've just installed an A/O oil cooler and oil filter relocation kit.
I put the oil cooler after the IC,between the IC and the condenser cooler.
I do see a 5-6 degrees Celcious drop in oil temps during normal cruising,
(haven't raced the car yet) but I do see about 5-6 degrees Celcious
increase in coolant temp.
Is that....Heat transfer issue from the oil cooler to the radiator?

Have the stock oil cooler on the 2jzgte,with new radiator,stock fan,new
thermostat,rad.cap. Going to install a spal 600 cfm fan infront of the
condensor and after the oil cooler to push some air through the condensor
to the radiator.I am also waiting a sard 72'C thermostat and a blitz 1.3 bar
radiator cap. I think these will help a little...

What else can I do? Any ideas...?
The oil cooler won't fit elsewhere,that's for sure..

get rid of the stock cooler, that is your problem. it is heating up your oil.

My oil temp. went down a little as it should be with an aftermarket oil cooler.
But my water temp. went up a little...That's my issue! Water temperature
has gone up a little :icon_evil
And I think that the heat transfer from the oil cooler to the radiator is the issue....:icon_evil
 

tissimo

Stock is boring :(

I wouldn't do that, it heats your oil faster to optimum range and also you dont want your oil less then 180* anyways imo.

Second thing that has to do with the heat issue is 'heat soke'...:aigo:
The hot air into the engine bay that is produced from the motor has
nowhere to go !! And I am getting a CF hood soon,which will have 3-4
air vents. I think that will help a lot.

Any infos from you guys with vented hoods?
Have you seen great improvement on the 'engine bay heat' ?
