to oil cool or not to oil cool.....

[yayoboy]

on a nova xe, when i first did the conversion, i didnt bother with the oil cooler, but no with the extra power im gonna be running im paranois about not having one, it will be running about 230ish bhp when its done ( im not gonna list everything you will see the parts in the projects section when i get them all back and am ready for the rebuild) cheers

i would run an oil cooler.ive just cooked ann xe with standard oil cooler.caned car for 2 hours and melted loads.get a good oil cooler and oil temp gauge.if your running 230bhp the cost of an oil cooler is worth it with the money you must have spent!!

agreed, does any one know of a good 'kit' for the power? i have nothing at the mo, no pipes cooler etc.

use a mocal one, dont go for a cheap ass cooler, may cause more problems in future.
