Thats hot. Whats your oil capacity now with that big pan and oil cooler? Your gona be doing 100 dollar oil changes, haha.

What sort of pressure drop are you seeing with the oil cooler in place? I was considering adding an external electric pump taped into the oil pan to feed the cooler. That way the stock pump doesnt have an extra burden and I can control the pump with a switch to turn it off during daily driving and not worry about the oil not coming up to temp.

I have not been able to run the car long enough to get that data. With the Accusump my guess is it won't drop AT ALL. That is the point of the accusump. I don't know how well the external pump idea will work, you might just wind up circulating the same oil through the pan. This way I know the oil that was just used, is getting cooled. I upgraded my oil pump while I had the motor out of the car as well Smile.
