Might add an additional cooler to my 930 for next seasons HPDE. It was running slightly hot, when ambient temps were high...
When you add a front cooler, I assume you leave the wheel well cooler in, right?
So, is the front cooler then plumbed off the existing lines in series, or in parallel?
I would think that in series, you increase resistance to flow, so you might decrease flow?
In parallel you decrease resistance, so would that decrease oil pressure?
Also, what adapters are folks using to tee off the original fittings? Seems like most of the pics I found on the net bypass the original cooler, which seems counter productive...
My car also has the strakes in back before the wheel wells... Anyone ever add an additional cooler back there? Seems like it wouldn't be too difficult to tee off the brass oil cooler lines after the thermostat to do that, and it would actually use the strakes for something
!
Also, lots of places sell oil coolers. The ones for American race cars are pretty reasonable, much cheaper the Sertab/Elephant Racing/etc. Any reason not to use one of those?
