I blew the engine BEFORE the mods....when I smoked the bearing I was running a 100% stock S4 oiling system....no mods at all, well other than amsoil....looking back I should have done all this stuff 1st....such is life....
On the oil cooler...since my racer has NO foglights we cut out the back of the foglight well in the bumper and mounted the cooler on the passenger side behind the foglight, slightly low...so it is not in front of the radiator.....I didn't want something that hot in FRONT of the radiator....plenty of room in there since the headlights are gone and welded over...
I went with a 19 row Setrab cooler....it should be plenty...& we bypassed the in radiator cooler completely.....I hope this makes for cooler oil & water!!
Hmm with your beast already a NASA race vehicle......it would be easy for you to enter the 25 hours of Thunderhill???? The race shop I use to store-transport my 928 won the 25 last year in spec miata class..... a GTS4 or GTS 5 races in ES class...which is the 2nd fastest behind ESR...but isn't really that fast with only a 2:00 lap...which your car could do restricted easy..probably 1:56....but a 12 gallon fuel cell won't work....I figure 20 gallons an hour for your machine minimum....
