I've got a KISS kit on my turboS and I would like to replace the factory cooler on my 968 race car with something with more capacity to lower the oil temp.
The motivation is a catastrophic #2 bearing failure in my 3rd race last weekend and want to give the replacement motor a fighting chance.
Oil pressure starts off at 4.8-5bar and drops about 1.5bar as the session progresses (MXL Datalogger) with Redline 15W50.
I'm going to baffle the sump and fit an oil temp cannel to the logger when the engine goes back in as well.
Any experience or recommendations on sizing would be much appreciated.
