external oilcooler on a 944 nonturbo
 

hi guys
im new here.i have a question.i have a 88 944 and i had a 944 turbo oilcooler fitted to it.the first year i had it on the temps were very low.this past year the temps have gone back to what they were when i didnt have it,which run pretty high in the summer time.last year the water temp gauge would stay on the first bar no matter what speed i was traveling at,this was after i put the oil cooler in. i just had a new radiator put in so i know its not that.so my question is,is there a thermostat in the turbo oil cooler system.if so is it in the cooler itself or behind the plate that bolts to the block.
thanks

There is a thermostat in the housing. It's under the big hex-head cap next to the oil filter. After driving for a while, touch the little oil cooler radiator, if it's cold....you found your problem.

hi tom
thanks for you reply ill check that out.the differnce in run the oilcooler on my 944 is like night and day as far as cooling the car. so i really want to find out what the problem is.

i notice that you have a supra also,im restoring an 88 mr2 supercharged.i had one of those before i got my porsche,but i missed it alot so i picked up an mr2 in VA. for cheap money.
