Moore boost equates to higher cylinder pressures, which inturn means more heat is being generated within the cylinder head, the engine block and by the turbochargers themselves.
So where is this additional heat going to be dissipated? 
You guessed it, by the oil and water that circulates within the above components. 
So essentially whilst methanol injection is great for developing more power and torque, it "ain't" the magical cure for engine oil temperatures that are already high and rising. |
Exactly, a cooler intake charge has very little to do with the engine running temp.
