Cooling options
Hi all,
As I finish up my build, I wanted to get opinions on cooling options to maximize endurance efficiency. An average road race session sees 20-30 mins of almost continuous WOT, so can be hard on cooling... So far the only upgrades to stock I've built in are the larger MAP oil cooler, and a Cosworth high pressure radiator cap (so I can run less than 50% anti-freeze to increase cooling efficiency).
I was thinking about...
1) Aftermarket radiator. Does this really have a major effect over the stock radiator? I'm not looking for a smaller radiator for clearance reasons. Seems that most people get something like the CBRD because of it being thin to clear turbo components.
2) Adding a fan to the oil cooler.
3) Better air ducting.
I've searched around, but didn't really find any good answers to greatly improve cooling efficiency for endurance.
Thanks!
