On Tuesday I went down to the clinic to have an oil cooler fitted as my car was running at oil tempuratures up to a 115 degrees they did an excellent job and the car is now running at just under 80 degrees. I would recomend anybody with a modified performance Subaru to seriously consider speaking to the clinic regarding running tempuratures as it could cost ££££££££££££££ if it was to go bang i will give more figures after the track day

 

sounds good, did you also consider the uprated oil pump as some say that this supplies oil better so you don't get the bottom end knocking due to lack of oil on the bearings,

 

Ive had no problem with oil pressure and with having defis in it i will have plenty of warning for low oil pressure..

 

What does your pressure get to once warm? mine is just under 3bar, @ 90

 

Mines 3.5 bar at just under 80. use to be 3.5 bar at over 100 not good.. and when on boost upto 80 bar and over 115..

 

I got the optional trackpack on the T20. It has the Spec C oil cooler and bigger oil pump to match. Though I'm not sure what the delivery difference there is between the std STI and uprated Spec C pumps.

It's also got the Spec C (I think.. but definately uprated..) fuel pump too as part of the same option.

 

i have an oil cooler tooooo... its a little black thing that sits on ythe back of the engine... in the wind... ;-) actually it got too cold the other night so i took the sweat band off my **** and used that... much better but now i have no knoooob...
orrf to sleep now,,, neet neet
