Limerock 88f and humid:

As you can see, temps weren't an issue at all at Palmer. 200load custom cobb tune. Stock cooling. Running distilled water and water wetter.
You can see limerock in 88f weather was pushing the stock cooling systems capacity. Water temps are higher on avg and oil temps have exceeded the thermostat range of 250f. They honestly aren't bad at all though. As a comparison, there was an n54 there that day with er dual competition oil coolers and he couldn't keep oil temps under 280 for more than 10minutes. He kept having to pull off track (modest tune 18psi).
N55 does really well with cooling compared to n54s. Im considering a 26row oil cooler for tracking in 90f+. Hopefully dme tuning helps gets coolant temps down a bit or I'll consider a radiator too eventually. The car is 100% fine stock for anything <85f ambient. |
In general this makes me feel better the logs don't look too bad. 2 questions:
1) Is this from a DCT car or 6MT?
2) What run group and how hard would you say you are running it?
I ask because:
A) I have a DCT and in terms of cooling they are hampered in two ways relative to 6MT. First off they require additional cooling (through the radiator) for the DCT, and they also have another gear which tends to keep the engine more on boil all the time.
B) I typically will run in an advanced run group and tend to push the car very hard (sometimes too hard
)
