You could run a 80/20 Mix of distilled water to coolant, with a bottle or 2 of water wetter. That would reduce both engine coolant temp, as well as oil temps. This would be the most economical "mod", and you are going to get the biggest bang for your buck. If you not tracking your car on a regular basis, you really should not need to have any additional cooling beyond this.

I think the ECU goes into overtemp at 280 deg oil temps.
So how does this work, u just drain all ur coolant n then add distilled water and that water wetter with less coolant and blamo im good? Not sure how to drain coolant nor which coolant works best

Also, any link for where to get this "water wetter"?
