just to add my 2p

 

I know alot of the talk has been regarding low speed which obviously just needs the fan setup sorting as mentioned many times!

 

But... for high speed / track I found keeping control of the oil temps has a significant effect on the cooling system. Reduced my oil from 135-140 to 115-120 and saw a ~7-8deg drop in water temps. But amibent was lower as well soooo..... But WOT was for longer periods in this lower amibent.

 

Anyway, worth thinking about oil. Does the V6 use a oil-water heat exchanger?

Totally agree with that, think I may have mentioned that in the thread somewhere.

I've got a Stack dash which has all digital read outs, my oil is always under 90 on hard track driving and my water is around 70.

Do have a dry sump though.
